Kent is an ocean enthusiast and an absolute adventurer. His passion for the ocean began when he was growing up in New Zealand with a father who loved to sail and freedive. At the age of seventeen, he left home to travel and surf the waters of the Pacific before landing in Ventura, California in 1993. Since then, he has met his wife, started and built a local manufacturing business, and raised two children who share his love of the water.... all while sailing, surfing, kiteboarding and now foiling.  

Chris was born and raised on the North Shore of Oahu. His father taught him to surf at the age of 3, and his love for the ocean has only grown since then. Out of the water, Chris has created unique artwork for private collectors and galleries using both sculpture and light and heavily influenced by the marine environment. In 1999 Chris moved to Santa Barbara, California where he began kiteboarding, stand-up paddleboarding and more recently foiling. He currently lives in Santa Barbara with his wife and twin boys.
