Technical data
Technical data
"Technical data" describes the product in detail and other information about the product. If a piece of information is missing, it is not relevant for this particular product.
|
Length:
Length
"Length" indicates the total length of the product. If the product is inflatable, the measurement indicates the length of the product in an inflated state with recommended pressure. Regarding adjustable products, the numbers show both the length of the product in its lowest collapsed position and in its fully extended position.
| 9'6", 2,90 m |
Width:
Width
"Width" indicates the total width of the product, i.e. where the product is widest. If the product is inflatable, indicate the measurement where the product is at its widest when inflated with recommended pressure.
| 30,0", 76,1 cm |
Volume:
Volume
"Volume" indicates how much air the SUP board contains (inflatable boards) or how big its foam core is (hard boards). This also gives an indication of the board's buoyancy and is in relation to the user's body weight. For this reason, it is important to choose a board that is adapted to the user.
| 220 L |
Board weight:
Board weight
"Board weight" indicates the specific and total weight of the SUP board. Note! The manufacturing process means that minor weight differences may occur.
| 7,4 kg |
Thickness:
Thickness
"Thickness" indicates how thick the product is where it is the thickest. Regarding SUP boards, the measurement refers to the height of a lying board, i.e. the greatest distance between the underside and the top.
| 5.0", 12,7 cm |
Max pressure:
Max pressure
"Max Pressure" refers to the maximum air pressure recommended to pump an inflatable SUP board to. In general, a Kona board can withstand a significantly higher air pressure than this, but this can cause the product to deform and thereby void the warranty.
| 25 psi, 1,72 bar |
Number of layers:
Number of layers
By "number of layers" is meant how many layers the top and bottom of the inflatable SUP board includes and what type of material. The number of layers defines, among other things, the stiffness of the construction and thereby how stable the board is perceived. This also affects the weight of the board and the more layers, the stiffer the board but also the heavier the board.
| Single layer with double stringer |
Sides:
Sides
By "sides" is meant how many layers of PVC the inflatable SUP board's side walls consist of and what material they are made of. The number of layers and or materials defines, among other things, the rigidity of the construction and thereby how stable the board is perceived. This also affects the weight of the board and the more layers, the stiffer the board but also the heavier the board.

Color:
Color
"Color" refers to the most prominent colors in the graphic design. Color type will also be listed here shortly.
| Blue white |
Fin box:
Fin box
"Fin box" refers to the type of fin attachment that the SUP board has. Generally there are two types; slide-in and US box. "Slide-in" means that fins are pushed into the fin box and locked with a pin. These are usually used for simpler board constructions. "US-box" means you can attach most fin models to that fin box by locking them with a screw and nut. Fins with a so-called click function can also be attached to these boxes. No screws or nuts are needed for these.
| US-box |
Carry weight including board:
Carry weight including board
By "carry weight" is meant how many kilograms the entire equipment weighs together. When it comes to inflatable SUP boards, this weight includes everything you need to carry with you to be able to paddle, i.e. backpack, board, paddle, fin, pump, leash and repair kit.
| 11,1 kg |
Recommended pressure:
Recommended pressure
By "recommended pressure" is meant the air pressure measured in psi, which an inflatable SUP board should have in order to be able to paddle and maneuver the most easily. This air pressure is what the board is designed for.
A person weighing closer to the upper limit of "paddler weight" should use an air pressure equal to recommended pressure, while for a person weighing near or below the lower limit of paddler weight, 2-3 psi below recommended pressure may be sufficient.
It is also important to remember that new boards may need to be inflated to the recommended pressure approx. 2-3 times before the material is fully stretched. Before then, they may lose some pressure. If the board is to be used in strong heat (>+25 C), it may also be sufficient to inflate it to approx. 1-2 psi lower than recommended pressure as the hot air will increase the pressure in the board.
| 15-17 psi, 1-1,2 bar |
Load weight:
Load weight
"Load weight" refers to the weight in kilograms that the SUP board can be loaded with in addition to the paddler himself and still be able to be paddled and maneuvered as intended. That this is not the same as the "paddler's weight" is due to the fact that the weight of the paddler is centered on a relatively small surface, while packs, children, dogs, etc. distribute the weight better.
| +25 kg |
Test data
Test data
"Test data" refers to the specific values that the products generated when they underwent Kona Sports' rigorous functional testing on the water. Everything from acceleration to maneuverability is tested here. All models of Kona's SUP boards have undergone the same test battery and test procedure and thus their performance can be compared with each other. Here you can also see the differences in performance between different lengths and widths as well as between hard and inflatable SUP boards.

| Stability value: | Stable |
Stability (stationary):
Stability (stationary)
"Stability" here means how stable the SUP board feels when it is still on the water, so-called initial stability. The higher the value, the more stable the board is perceived to be.
This value is good to know if you want a board that is suitable for, for example, fitness and yoga exercises, fishing, sun & bath, having coffee or transporting equipment from a boat, etc. The value has been calculated from, among other things, the board's shape, construction, wet surface, tendency to roll, weight etc.

Glide number:
Glide number
"Glide number" indicates the SUP board's gliding ability, i.e. how far the board moves on average with each individual paddle stroke. This calculation is based on the four gears used in SUP and the different paddling frequencies/cadences that correspond to them. The higher the number, the farther or faster the board glides on average per paddle stroke.
| 11 |
Rigidity:
Rigidity
By "stiffness" is meant here how stiff the SUP equipment is, i.e. how little or much it bends under load. This primarily applies to boards, paddles and fins and is determined by the construction and materials of the equipment. Regarding SUP boards, this is also connected with the term "responsiveness".
For maximum power transmission and thereby power and speed, a high stiffness is preferred. If you are instead looking for a softer and more forgiving equipment, a lower number is recommended.
Keep in mind that the more experienced we become, the more we are served by stiffer equipment. If you are new to SUP, low to medium stiffness equipment can be recommended before your body has gotten used to the new movements. So don't be afraid to switch to stiffer equipment as you progress. If you have any questions about this, do not hesitate to contact us.
