Gabe

Friends know him as "The Chonch."

With possibly the highest stoke-factor of the KPS crew, he lives for the out-of-control nuking days doing downwind laps with buds. If it’s windy, you can bet he’s out there. Gabe has been kiting since 2012, picked up a wing in 2023, and started downwind foiling in 2024. When he’s not doing laps from dawn to dusk, he’s usually recovering for the next round of wind with lots of shoulder PT, taking a nice walk on the beach, or playing some Bucky at the shop.

Gabe's Picks

"My van smells the way it does because it's basically my foil rigging station where wetsuits, booties, and salty stoke live in the backseat. This is the gear that lives there."
