From one foot to four foot and beyond, we’ve got you covered to extract maximum joy and satisfaction from surfing.
"We had a challenge. It was to build what I considered to be the perfect surfboard. It had to excel across all categories of surfer, and it had to excel in most conditions. I honestly could not be more excited about these shapes because I truly, wholeheartedly believe we’ve achieved what we set out to. This is the perfect surfboard."
Kale Brock
Our Story
"Consistency in the final product has been an absolute game changer for me. When I’ve loved a board in the past and ordered replacements, they’ve often been a let down - they simply don’t perform like the original. With our boards, I’ve nervously received new boards but gratefully found them to be exact replicas to the previous. The transition is seamless. Significantly, it means that my surfers are riding the exact same boards as me."

How?
Combining traditionalist outlines with an ultra modern belly and a tail that screams high performance, our performance mids paddle like a longboard yet surf like a short board.
Performance mid twin
This is the ultimate performance mid length, designed for top speed and effortless turning potential. Combining traditionalist outlines with an ultra modern belly, the KBD performance mid twin is our hallmark shape, andKale's go-to mid length for knee high to overhead conditions.

3-year R&D
Over 3 years of careful research and development have gone into the KBD performance mid. Prototype after prototype has been relentlessly refined into an incredibly progressive shape that’s also geared toward high performance. We know, because our students helped us along the way. The result is a board that grovels, charges and shreds. A board that makes surf progression painless, offers huge wave catching ROI and performs as well as a shortboard.
Performance mid thruster
The KBD performance mid thruster features almost the exact same DNA as our mid twin. We've applied some slight alterations to the tail and of course have included the centre fin for extra stability and control. Designed for an effortless surfing experience, across all levels of surfer, the performance mid thruster is every surfers' wave catching, high performance dream. Select this model if you prefer the feeling of control over ultimate speed.
Which is right for me?

Performance mid twin
The performance mid twin is effortless zip; ultra high speed and pivot, but at the cost of a little stability. Naturally, this variation is more geared to the intermediate or advanced surfer and is Kale’s top mid-length choice for small to moderately sized waves.


Performance Mid Thruster
The performance mid thruster offers more reliability and a steadier application across increased wave heights, but at the cost of a little effortless zip and pivot. This variation is appropriate for the beginner surfer. It is also for the intermediate / advanced surfer looking for a craft that can grovel in tiny waves and yet still excel in larger waves.
