Interview with CarbOne team

CarbOne –

an exclusive niche product

1. Why has CarbOne been developed, isn’t Kona One good enough?

Kona One is the windsurfing class of the future. In just a few years it has grown into being one of the largest one type classes globally. This is thanks to the simplicity and at the same time high quality. It functions in a school setting just as well as a race board in international championships. It has all the qualities needed to offer a superior sailing experience, no matter light or strong winds conditions. CarbOne is a niche product, where the successful concept has been taking one step further. There is a market segment demanding a product where only quality and performance has been taken into account. CarbOne is the answer to this demand.

2. In what why is CarbOne different from Kona One

The boards have the same measures. The difference is in the material used. CarbOne is constructed using
carbon which makes it lighter and more rigid but also priced at a different level. For anyone wanting to sail really
fast and appreciate the highest quality CarbOne is an interesting alternative.

3. Will there be a special rig for CarbOne?

The Kona One rig has a very high quality and modern design suited also for CarbOne. Over time it is possible
that a special rig will be developed but this is too early to say at this stage.

4.    Who is the target group for CarbOne?

The target group is narrow, those looking for an exclusive niche product. CarbOne will be able to compete with
the best freeride and slalom board in the market.

5.     Will it be possible to race with CarbOne?

That is up to the local clubs, the national associations and ultimately Kona Windsurfing Association to decide. Kona One is a one class
design and CarbOne is not class legal. CarbOne can either be raced in open classes or as a class of its own.

6.     Will CarbOne be a new class?

That is a question for Kona Windsurfing Association to decide. Kona Windsurfing will market CarbOne as an
exclusive niche product targeting those looking for superior material and performance. What will happen in the
long run is too early to say. First we want to see how it is received by the market. But, it is not impossible to see
CarbOne as a future Olympic board.

7.        How do I order the CarbOne?

          The most convenient way to order the CarbOne is through your local Kona Windsurfing-partner
