Kneeboard Surfing USA would like to thank our sponsors for their generous contributions that help to make our events possible. When you’re in the market for a new board or surf gear, check out our sponsors. Be sure to thank them on behalf of KSUSA. Support those who support our sport!
2024 Premier Sponsors:
Barry Snyder Designs – We’re stoked to have Barry Snyder join us as one the kneeboard shapers/sponsors. Based in Oceanside, Barry’s boards are part water craft, part hand crafted art. From Greenough inspired spoons to modern performance kneeboards, Barry does it all with style.
Bilt Kneeboards – Performance Kneeboards from South Africa, proven by legend Gigs Celliers, joins us as our newest premier sponsor.
Blast Surf Designs Hawaii – Bud McCray and Blast Surf Designs have been supporting KSUSA events for many years. Blast Surf Designs are the result of over 4 decades of development and rigorous, thorough testing in the most consistent surf location on the planet.
Blenders Eyewear – Blenders was founded on passion and we pride ourselves on radical design that unabashedly pushes you outside your comfort zone. They are for the pleasure-seekers of the world, the ones who lust for life’s adventure, and the people who will not stop until they find it.
BlockSurf – Larry Block and BlockSurf have been supporting Kneeboarding Surfing USA since our first contest in Santa Cruz in 2003. BlockSurf provides high quality Performance Surfing Gear such as leashes, board bags, pads and racks.
BruSurf – BruSurf returns as a Premier sponsor of KSUSA events. BruSurf founded in 2010 by George Mayou and Sean Noone, two South Africans who came to America with a dream. A watersports distribution company based out of Dana Point, California with distribution hubs on the west and east coast.
Casa Sirena Surf Lodge – Greg Chrisman – Life at the lodge is as it should be, a daily replay of perfection. It’s bound to leave you with memories of how fun a surf trip is supposed to be. Located in Central Nicaragua, make Casa Sirena your next surf trip destination. Puerto Sandino and Punta Miramar often have better quality waves than Popoyo, Colorados, and The Boom but without the crowds. Here you can surf directly out front. We are 1.5 hours from the airport in Managua. This means more time in the water and more waves every day and maybe that one barrel you were hoping for!
Freeline Design
– John Mel and Freeline Design have been supporting KSUSA since the beginning of the organization. Freeline is the surf shop in Santa Cruz for kneeboarders.
TK’s Frog House – TK’s Frog House is the most iconic and kneeboard friendly surf shop in the Newport Beach area with a fun eccentric vibe and kneeboards on the rack. Frog House has been one of our most generous supporters since we moved the annual KSUSA contest to Southern California.
Kneelo Gear – Dean Lenarth and Kneelo Gear provide deck pads, leashes, wax, shirts and accessories for Kneelos. Kneelo Gear is a new premier sponsor this year.
Parkes Australia – David Parkes is a world champion kneeboard surfer and shaper from Australia. Parkes has been sponsoring KSUSA events since the beginning.
Trimco Hardware – Trimco is a global leader in architectural hardware solutions. Trimco has generously designed and produced awesome trophies for KSUSA events for a number of years.
Walden Surfboards – Known by many as the “Father of the Modern Longboard,” Steve Walden shaped his first surfboard in 1961. Over the years he shaped for many prestigious labels but it was always his own boards that set him apart. Started shaping kneeboards in Huntington Beach in the early 1970’s And then moved to Hawaii where he shaped Kneeboards for the iconic label Lightning Bolt on the North Shore in the 70’s and 80’s and his own label today. We’re stoked for his reconnection with the Kneeboard community. Check out Walden Surfboards in Ventura.
