"I'm so excited to be joining the Komunity team," said Durbidge. "I absolutely love their products and I'm looking forward to bringing out my signature pad in the near future."

Komunity Project was founded by 11-time World Champion Kelly Slater (USA) in 2006 and has since become a wholly owned Australian company.
