K38's Identity in one sentence

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to keep the spirit of surf, skate, and snow grounded in the truth, rebellion, and unfiltered passion.

 

K38 is a raw rider’s brand built for the unseen.
Born at the break, raised in the quiet — we stand for the ones who ride for peace not praise.  for the ones who paddle out alone, drop in without filming, and ride to remember, not to impress.
From sea to snow to desert, K38 isn’t about trends or terrain. It’s about the feeling — gritty, quiet, and real.
No followers. Only riders.​

​

​ We don’t chase hype, clout, or followers — we move for the feeling. Our gear is inspired by early mornings, empty lineups, cold wind, cracked boards, and the type of silence only real riders understand. Whether you ride waves, mountains, or dunes — if you do it for the soul, you’re already part of K38.

The Origin of K38 Co.

No Followers. Only Riders.

When Bentley (our Founder) first visited Mexico back in 2019, he had never touched a surfboard. Crazy, right? What started as just another trip turned into something way deeper. He fell in love—not just with the waves, but with the soul of the place. Beneath the sunsets and tacos, he discovered something raw: a deep-rooted surf culture that existed long before social media ever did.

At 13, Bentley decided he’d try the sport. But without discipline, and with doubt creeping in, the board ended up in the garage just a few months later. No highlight reels. No overnight talent. Just frustration.

​

Fast forward to 2023. K38 Company was born. It was meant to be more than a brand—an identity for the quiet ones. The outsiders. The lone riders. But truth is, Bentley still hadn’t found his rhythm in the water. The company nearly faded into the noise. No traction. No fame. Just dust.

​

Then came summer of 2024. Bentley finally picked the board back up. This time—different mindset, different purpose. No camera crews. No sponsors. Just early mornings, cold lineups, and boards with wax-stained stories. From an 8ft foamie straight to a 6'2 shortboard—no transition, no hand-holding, no "approved" path.

Now surrounded by surfers who’ve done this their whole life, Bentley’s growth has been fast—but earned. Not bought. Not faked. Not posed.

​

K38 isn’t for clout-chasers or polished influencers.
It’s for the ones riding alone before the world wakes up.
For the ones who don’t post every session.
For the ones falling, failing, and showing up again.

This story isn’t about perfection—it’s about persistence.
Because you don’t need to start early. You don’t need the spotlight. You don’t need validation.

​

All you need is grit.
When no one’s watching.
When no one believes.
When no one claps.

This is K38.

No hype.

No followers, Only riders.
