About Kona Sports

Our history

Kona Sports products are today sold all over the world. We who work in the team are proud of that. Our major competitors come from Hawaii and Australia, among other places. Ever since Kona Sports was founded in 2006, we have competed with the help of Scandinavian design and quality. Sustainable innovation guides us. We are in constant motion to constantly give our customers better products that will be loved and used for a long time. Kona Sports was founded as a windsurfing company and it is still an obvious part of our DNA. When SUP (stand up paddling) came to the Nordic countries, we were pioneers. We had the expertise to unite several worlds - efficient board design, smart manufacturing technology and in-depth knowledge of biomechanics. These skills are gathered in our products for SUP racing and SUP training.

Our history is carried by our team. Therefore, feel free to read more about our team members and their history.
