Kevin "KB" Brown possesses an infectious passion for surfing that runs deep in his veins. He is the epitome of a "soul surfer" doing it for the pure love and stoke - and building a community of river surfers around him in his home spot, Missoula, Montana.
We salute any surfers willing to go beyond the normal call of duty and head off on missions into the unknown is search of unique waves. There are not many more unique places to surf on earth than the Rocky Mountains, where ISURUS’ s own Joaquin Trevelline has been scouting waves with river surfing veteran KB - Kevin Brown.
Joaquin is a content creator and outdoor enthusiast who grew up in Montana and started white water kayaking. Through his connection with KB, he got into surfing and capturing inspirational images in and out of the water.
He used to buy kayaking gear from KB's Strongwater surf shop in Missoula and started river surfing "Brennan's wave" with a Costco softboard, pretty soon that became his main passion.
This river season he's been capturing some epic footage and getting more background on KB, this video gives some idea of the intensity and power of the rivers they are surfing.
ISURUS ambassador and river surfing pioneer KB Brown is constantly traveling and surfing at a variety of locations throughout the Rocky Mountains. He is still showing us new ways to approach surfing and the way we look at waves.
In this video he surfs waves made by nature and by man. Everything from irrigation structures to massive stone ledges formed naturally. The world of river surfing is constantly evolving and KB continues to bring us new perspectives of what can be accomplished in the mountains and rivers.
KB has been riding ISURUS wetsuits for over 6 years and after literally thousands of surfs, he is still wearing some of his original wetsuits now. In this video he explains some of the finer points of their construction and why he loves them:
