Kenta began wake surfing 8 years ago as the sport began to take off in Hiroshima Japan. For about 4 years he wasn't improving on other boards, but found Soulcraft and quickly saw his skillset grow rapidly once he jumped on the KF Pro Surf.
Since then, Kenta pursued a competitive career in wake surfing and in 2021 challenged himself to compete in the Pro Mens Surf Division as the first male pro in Asia. His participation in the World Wakesurfing Championship earned him 9th place in the world.
Current Board
Keenan Pro Surf
The Keenan Pro Surf is the ultimate combination of performance and efficiency. When Keenan began thinking about this board over 6 years ago, he had an idea to create a board that would make wake surfing feel more like ocean surfing. He wanted to create a board that would be user friendly to a wide range of riders, while boasting the highest performance of any board on the market. We feel that we've accomplished that and then some with the Keenan Pro Surf! A unique flat rocker profile and straight rail line provide this board with all the speed you could ever need while the swallow tail, rear hips, and soft rails make it turn on a dime.
