He eats, sleeps and surfs, oh and goes to school, but while in school he daydreams about going surfing. He has a got a sick style and just loves to compete.


Kei has rattled many kids older than him when they look at the heat sheets and see that he has beaten them. That's the thing, he doesn't back down nor does he ever quit. He is as tenacious and competitive as they come. He took that spirit and determination to win the 2009 NSSA Nationals and has placed in many amateur events since then and is improving every event.

One may think that is too much for a grom but with Kei it's what he loves and thrives on. So if you're in the line up and feel the wind pick up it just maybe Kei Kobayashi on your inside hustling you out of a wave!
