BRENT 'BRENNO' DORRINGTON
Everybody loves a larakin and we are no exception. Bred on the point breaks of Snapper, Rainbow and Kirra, and raised on diet of shoeys and barrels, it's no wonder he’s earned the nickname of 'midget magic'. An amazing surfer in the barrel, on the rail or in the air. Other companies that share our love include The Mad Hueys and Liive Vision.
MIKALA JONES
Mikala Jones, a revered figure in the world of surfing, left an indelible mark with his unique approach to the sport and his passion for adventure. Born in Hawaii and spending significant time in Indonesia, Jones became synonymous with seeking out and surfing some of the most secluded and challenging waves on the planet. His ability to capture breathtaking first-person footage from inside monster barrels showcased not only his surfing prowess but also his innovative spirit. Tragically, his life was cut short at the age of 44 following a surfing accident in the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia. Mikala's legacy lives on through his contributions to surfing, remembered as a pioneer who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the pursuit of the perfect wave. FK Surf supports the Jones family through donating from sales of his Signature Tail Pad. RIP Mikala.
