Extreme Sports Zone Management Team
Kyle Dent
Kyle is the inventor of BrushBoarding and founder of Extreme Sports Zone. Kyle developed his passions for surfing and skateboarding while growing up in Australia. His skills developed while owning and managing a success construction company for over 10 years, are now directed towards Extreme Sports Zone. Kyle’s media experience while appearing on DIY SOS has been invaluable as BrushBoarding continues its national and international reach.
Charlie McFall
Charlie’s experience as a semi pro surfer is a great asset in his role as Marketing Manager for Extreme Sports Zone. Charlie not only understands the needs of the riders, he is one! Charlie is the trailblazer for new tricks and manoeuvres and is always willing to share tips with the newest members of the BrushBoarding team. Charlies open approach helps enormously when managing the national interest of riders and BrushBoarding competitions.
Gayleen Dent
Gayleen uses her 15 years of business knowledge and experience to manage the overall strategy and operations of Extreme Sports Zone. Based in California, Gayleen is responsible for the rollout of BrushBoarding to the next big market – the USA. Gayleen’s entrepreneurship and finance focus during her MBA from Columbia Business School in NY, and Haas Business School in Berkeley, California, are a great asset to the team.
Keith Hoppins
Keith’s successful engineering and manufacturing business has helped move BrushBoarding from a vision and R&D effort, to a commercially available product. Keith’s balance of pragmatism and adventure keeps the BrushBoarding future designs within reach of every buyer. Keith uses both BrushBoarding and StandUpPaddle to keep his toe in the water of the board sports industry.
Karen Pike
Karen is an integral part for the Extreme Sports Zone team using her knowledge and experience in office management, operations and accounting to ensure our day-to-day finances and admin are in order. If her head isn't buried in books and spreadsheets, you can more than likely find her honing her BrushBoarding skills on the ramp.
