Board Story by Keith Beddoe:
Keith Beddoe, a visionary shaper, brings the Keith Beddoe Longboard to life. Balancing volume for improved wave catching and nose riding without compromising performance, this board is a testament to Keith's expertise. The low rocker entry in the nose area and increased rocker at the tail, combined with the generous hip in the pin tail, ensure effortless turns and optimal maneuverability.
Keith Beddoe's profound love for surfing and shaping has shaped his remarkable journey. As a former "Competition Surfer," he claimed the European Under 18 champion title in 1971. Failing to find the perfect shaper, Keith began shaping his own boards in the late '80s. He honed his skills as the Shadow Shaper at the UK "Bear" surfboard factory and later established KB Surfboards, embracing the resurgence of the Modern Longboard.
Today, Keith focuses on crafting custom orders and shaping boards out of the UK and Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, depending on where he's at. His unwavering dedication to his artistry, exceptional shaping skills and great surfing have earned him respect and recognition in the surfing community.
