NEW WHAT HAVE WE DONE? Kona has, believe it or not, become the first company in the industry to analyze one of the most important parameters within stand-up paddling.

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.

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 this...
