A swinging beach house in Australia's own version of the Hamptons.
Almost a dozen years ago, the Australian shaper Hayden Cox presented his teamrider Craig Anderson with a surfboard of a surprising hue. Narrow in the tail and with a forward wide point it resembled something from the seventies but spruced up with the carbon Fiber Flex (now FutureFlex) rails and a regular three-fin setup.
The Hypto Krypto.
It was an easy-to-ride surfboard that was a little bit Dave Parmenter Stub Vector and Matthew Biolos Round Nose Fish. And with Craig Anderson, one of the most admired surfers in the world riding ‘em in such a sublime fashion, they become so popular they accounted for more than 30 percent of Hayden’s worldwide sales.
Well, success buys pretty things.
Three-and-a-half years ago, Hayden and his wife, the marketing whiz Danielle, bought an old waterfront house with 180 degree views of the estuary called Pittwater at Palm Beach, Sydney’s version of New York’s The Hamptons.
That house was $A1.8 mill and you can examine the before and after photos here.

Now, after a renovation that sings with the couple’s monochrome design aesthetic, this “masterclass in contemporary style and innovative design” with its “crisp, minimalist lines” and “robust palette of natural materials and organic finishes” is on the market for a little over three-million Australian dollars.
It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, fits a couple of cars in the driveway and is a five-minute haul to the beach on the other side of the peninsula.
Do the black towels come with Craig Anderson’s signature black nail polish? The place looks more morbid than the local cemetery
can you set those things to black and white?
I think you got the before and after tags mixed up. if you didn’t,i feel sorry for the kids when they get a a box of coloured pencils from an aunty and mom and dad quickly confiscate everything but the black and white ones.
3 million aus? What’s that, about 10 grand us?
What’s so wrong about
Trying to turn five dollars
Into ten dollars?
Palmy is full of rich released Pedos..or pre jail.
Epstein types.
I knew I’d seen you somewhere before
I remember you too
Hard worker.
Is that Cox’ crabs ointment mistakenly left out on the bathroom counter top?
I prefer the original kitchen/living room, that black is too dark and depressing to live in every day, it’s probably why they’re selling. You can see everything is dark and shadowy. It looks like midnight in the middle of the day.
Sydney is all about light and colour and warmth.
It’s easy to spend a bunch of money if you’ve got it. Taste on the other hand….
Does it come with his knock kneed pool boy?
Lost Rocket or gtfo!!!!
My surfboard has mono and so does my girlfriend.
He must get so much butthole.
I’ll give them five bucks
For the Whiteley x Done collab
Hanging on the wall

Skewed world view. Always knew
You were on the ‘Done
Sonnet of a Ballad, he’s fan f’Ekphrastic no need for IG Epigram wizardry twists of LimeRick Kane on our Beach Grit-ate!
Post modern junk,
It screams “I’m trying to impress other people”
Gimme the warmth of the blue bay photo in the original pic
Agreed Mr Worm!
My purchase is a business

Your eye for a dollar,
Exceeds my eye for a bargain
Before pics way better,
Contrary to the caption, I’d have sex in that shower.
hells yeas, gimme the colours.
He turned the kitchen into one giant Hypto.
The walls probably don’t have studs either
This who I am
God smote me
For until then
I walk in my own shadow
