Kenny Nishimoto was born and raised on the South Shore of Oahu. He is a surf stoked grom who can't get enough surf. He's always down to go. He loves surfing Ala Moana Bowls, Rockies and China Walls to name a few. But he goes where the waves go.
Kenny's favorite food is curry on rice, a solid fuel source for his many hours out in the water. When he's not surfing he loves to bodyboard, softtop, bodysurf, and skateboard. You'll also find him cutting hair; his own and his friends. He's got skills which is why his nickname is KenDawg DaBarber.
Kenny competes in both NSSA and HSA organizations since he was 11 years old. Accomplishments are 1st in Regionals, 2x 1st Ripcurl Gromsearch, 3rd USA Champioships, 3rd NSSA Nationals Open, 4th NSSA Nationals Explorer, 3rd Ripcurl Gromsearch Nationals, and his Hawaii ranking is 1st for 2022-2023. His goal is to win a National contest and win a National Title one day. Besides that his dream surf trips are the Maldives and Mentawai Islands.
Kenny draws inspiration from his local surfing buddies Rito Furuta and Neon Kasuya. He gets pumped seeing them rip at his local spots which gets him going. We can't wait to see what Kenny does in the future. We know he'll represent us well in and out of the water.
