Ben K is our Santa Cruz Pro, and has been holding it down for Exile for many years running now. There aren't many skimboarders that mix power and style like Ben K does. His frontside bashes are something every skimboarder would like to emmulate. Knees would be blowing out around the world if people tried hitting waves as hard as this dude does.

Ben is a kind soul that is always open to sharing some waves, even in his backyard of Santa Cruz with spots many people try to keep secret their whole lives.

Ben also runs TAC Clothing and is a stellar graphic designer. His skimboard skills float over to wakesurfing where he is a self proclaimed bad-arse. Ben's been skimming since he was 5 years old and I can see him skimming until he can't walk. His youthful attitude and personality are sure to keep him stoked for years, and we just hope we can help to keep the stoke.
