I'm Johan, founder of KOVE. Surfing quiets my mind, it's an outlet untouched by the buzz of the world. When I'm not surfing, my mind indiscriminately runs head first into every problem it encounters in an attempt to make the world a little simpler. It was why I pursued engineering, so I could learn to create the ideas that percolated any time I knew, there had to be a better way.
KOVE is a design and manufacturing brand that creates tools that resonate intuitive utility the moment they're used. That moment is a culmination of our obsession for the countless details and lasting quality that go into every product.

Trace is the first of KOVE's products, but it won't be the last.
