Howdy! I’m Kaia Rae

The founder and artist behind Surf Cowboy, a creative brand established in 2021 out of love for my western background and coastal spirit. Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, my artistic journey took root when I moved to Maui and transformed a weathered surfboard into a piece of art. Truly creating a surfing cowboy, my work evolved beyond surfboards into a range of mixed media pieces and the desire to expand more to reflect my roots and the landscapes that continue to inspire me.

Now back in Texas, I continue to grow Surf Cowboy as an expression of where I’ve been, what I see, and what’s next and I’m grateful you’re here for the ride.
