About Kona and the past year Kona was founded 2006 in Sweden as windsurfing company, but paddleboarding dates back to the company’s origin.

Today our windsurfing and paddleboard products are sold world-wide. We are proud of this and it encourages us to work even harder to improve our current product range and introduce new products.

When introducing the stability number the customer can easily compare boards and find the right one for their ability and needs. What is board stability? Stability is the ability of the board to resist heeling and capsize. A board with low stability makes it more challenging to stand on, but often...

NEW WHAT HAVE WE DONE? Not only have we introduced a way to compare boards easily, we have also made a resistance analysis to find the glide of each board. This will showcase the boards glide and give a better understanding of the board. Depending on preferred activity, yoga or long distance paddling the glide ratio has an impact or the boards’ performance. Glide is a term we use to talk about the ease of paddling. The higher the glide number the easier the board is to paddle and vs versa. Why is Glide Important? The glide number is a ratio of volume to length and is important be- cause...
