Origin Story

Why did I start Kernowfornia?

I was searching for authentic, independent Cornish surf labels with stylish, vintage-inspired designs but couldn’t find anything that felt genuine. Then an injury sidelined my surfing, to stay connected I started sketching, designing, and teaching myself screen printing. I made a tee for my 4-year-old, which he wore to pre-school. His teacher said, "I NEED one of those!" Just like that, my son sold the first tee, and Kernowfornia was born.
