Always
a grom.

A technical mind.
A lifetime drawn to the water.

BRENO BASILIO / SHAPER & DESIGNER

Born in Brazil.
Shaped by surfing.

Muléke takes its name from the Portuguese “moleque”—a kid, a grom. The name holds onto something simple: keep the curiosity, and keep the fun in it.

Breno grew up surfing and skateboarding in Brazil before moving to the United States at 14. A background in computer engineering developed alongside his love of surfing and surfboard design.

Today, that connection between craft and technical thinking runs through the work: custom surfboards for surfers, and Shape3D design support for shapers, companies, and individuals.

One company. Connected work.

Muleke Enterprises LLC is the company behind Muléke Surfboards and the design-services offering. Surfboards and apparel carry the surfboard brand; digital design services extend that knowledge to other builders.
