KT Surfing: Where innovation meets waves

KT Surfing is a globally recognized brand dedicated to the development and production of high-performance surf, windsurf, foil and SUP boards. The company combines an innovative spirit, quality and close collaboration with top athletes to create boards that deliver outstanding performance on the water. Whether you're a professional or amateur surfer, KT Surfing has the right board for everyone.

How it all began

Behind KT Surfing is Keith Teboul, a passionate surfer and board builder born in Madagascar in 1970. He spent his childhood in the ocean before moving to San Diego with his family as a teenager. There he discovered his passion for surfing and learned how to build boards under the guidance of legendary shaper Joe Blair.

In the early 1990s, Teboul moved to Maui, the ultimate windsurfing mecca. There he worked for eight years at Hi-Tech, a renowned board manufacturer that now distributes the KT brand. In 1994, he founded his own brand together with friends and professional windsurfers Jason Prior, Francisco Goya and Sean Ordonez – the beginning of an exciting journey.
