If you're a racer and one-design is in your blood, you know what you're getting into with a Kona: a straightforward fun-machine and an instant community of thousands of like-minded watersports enthusiasts! But even if racing isn't on your radar, this board planes fast, jibes tight and cruises effortlessly in the light breeze. Super versatile, and perfect to explore the coastline while everyone else is sinking in the lulls or going back ashore to switch rigs!
