Hot Buttered Usa

SURFING IS ART…. THIS WAS THE DRIVING FORCE AT THE HEART OF HOT BUTTERED SURFBOARDS AS IT EXPLODED THROUGH THE CLOSING DECADES OF THE 20TH CENTURY. While founder Terry Fitzgerald took to the world’s most challenging waves and used the experiences to change the course of how a surfboard could feel, Martyn Worthington’s amazing air brushes rearranged our vision of how a surfboard could look. The two artists combined to make perhaps the strongest single surfboard statement in the history of the sport. After more than 40 years, HB continues to offer Original Rainbow Range surfboards – an exclusive selection of classics, designed and shaped by Terry and hand painted by Martyn, subtly tuned to the modern world, yet reflecting the core pulse of one of the world’s truly great surfboard companies. In the following decades Hot Buttered has grown, presenting quality and design innovations in all products such as sunglasses and optical, clothing, skateboards, bodyboards and accessories and equipment. HB expanded around the world more in response to Terry’s and his team’s desire to go surfing in interesting places rather than in concert with any Master Plan. While HB’s expansion into territories like Tahiti, France, Japan, South America and South Africa foreshadowed the similar movements of bigger surf industry players, HB’s roots stayed firmly fixed in the core realm of surfing equipment. …ART IS SURFING”
