$Richard Kenvin aka R.K. of Hydrodynamica fame. He has been at the forefront of the asymmetrical design movement collaborating with Ekstrom, and pushing younger surfers such as Ryan Burch to take the designs to the next level. An amazing surfer in his own right, RK will probably be seen shredding La Jolla one these Sacred Craft prototypes in the near future.

Last week, thousands of people turned out at the Sacred Craft Consumer Expo in Del Mar, California. The expo celebrates design and innovation, while honoring those who have contributed immeasurably to it. This year, the man of honor was legendary shaper Carl Ekstrom. All photos by Soren Heil.
