Collection: Kale Brock Designs - KBD

In 2021 surfer and filmmaker Kale Brock began a deep dive into the world of surfboard shapes, conducting a series of tests comparing the world's most high performance surfboards.

Indeed, he found some great crafts, but the elephant in the room was that most of the surfboards Kale tested were simply inappropriate for the every day surfer.

As a surf coach hosting retreats around the world, Kale was seeing the same problems pop up for surfers again and again.

They couldn't catch waves easily on their shortboards but didn't like the lack of manoeuvrability on a long board.
