Devon Howard hails from San Diego—raised on Cardiff Reef—and is celebrated as a longboard and mid-length specialist with effortless style. He’s graced classic surf films like Single Fin Yellow, Sprout, and The Seedling, blending fluid footwork, smooth noserides, and flowing S‑turns .
He's the Longboard Tour Director on the World Surf League and helped drive post-pandemic revival of multi-stop classic-style competitions.
Devon officially joined Team Katin on January 19, 2021, celebrating a shared passion for surf simplicity, style, and stoke. Over these past four-and-a-half years, he’s been a key face and voice for the brand. That said, if you’ve been calling him part of your family for the past eight years, that speaks to a deeper, more informal bond—and a trust that long predates his formal role. Either way, he’s firmly rooted in Katin’s culture of authenticity and legacy.
