Kristian Bjerke
Kristian is a true original in the Barrette Surfboards family—one of the first to ride our hand-shaped wakesurfboards and a key part of the Soul Rebel’s evolution. A California transplant now making waves in the wake surf scene, Kristian brings serious energy, skill, and passion to the sport.
With a strong presence in the wakesurf community, he’s always connecting, pushing limits, and gearing up for his upcoming competition season. As the only current competitive rider on the Barrette team, he’s set to showcase the power, speed, and control of his custom Soul Rebel model on the national stage.
What Makes the Soul Rebel So Fast?
Designed to get up on plane quickly and hold strong with thicker rails, the Soul Rebel delivers a fast, responsive ride while staying loose enough to boost airs, spin revert, and unlock new tricks. Originally shaped for bigger riders, this board now rips at all sizes—whether you’re dialing in your style or sending it to the moon. Available as a quad setup, riders can customize their grip and control for the ultimate high-speed ride.
With Kristian leading the charge, we’re stoked to see the Soul Rebel in action this season!
