Speed phenomenon
One of the most difficult things to achieve in SUP is to increase speed. What we wanted to achieve with the Numinous M2 Hollow was precisely the ability to always be able to accelerate, regardless of starting speed and water conditions. The Kona Numinous 14.0 M2 Hollow is therefore an extremely easy-to-drive and fast-accelerating SUP board which, thanks to its design and its hollow construction, means that it lies just as well in the draft position as in the position it was primarily created for, i.e. lying first.
Competitiveness through construction
Thanks to its well-thought-out design and hollow construction, the Kona Numinous M2 Hollow has unparalleled buoyancy and stability as well as a glide that allows you, regardless of level, to convert all your power and energy into speed. The SUP board's well-balanced and optimal volume distribution means you can easily handle both wind and waves from all directions as well as the tightest pivot turns.
Function for the future
The advantages of a hollow construction, in addition to reduced weight, increased buoyancy and stiffness, is that it provides a more durable SUP board over time. It also does not require as much material in the manufacturing process as for a paddle board with a foam core. Something that, together with the production in our local area, we see as a path towards increased sustainability.
Built for speed
The Kona Numinous 14.0 M2H is a SUP board that is designed for the highest possible speed in both flat and broken water, i.e. where wave formation occurs, such as during mass starts and races with many competitors. It is also designed to be paddled in conditions where speed always costs power, i.e. to be able to paddle as fast as possible without the expected help of either wind, waves or currents. Despite this, it easily handles all the conditions that can be expected during competition.
Stability - Stability for Performance™
For effective SUP paddling, we need to be able to paddle ergonomically and relaxed, we thereby need a paddle board that we feel is stable, i.e. not make us lose our balance at the slightest impact. The stability we are talking about here is the so-called the secondary stability, i.e. how stable the SUP board feels during speed. That the Kona Numinous M2 Hollow, just like our other models, feels so stable is the basic prerequisite for us to be able to create the most optimal power transmission possible and where all the power actually goes in the direction we want.
Glide
You will soon understand that the Numinous 14.0 M2 Hollow has an outstanding glide and acceleration ability. Some of the reasons for this are i.a. its low so-called bottom curvature, flat to round bottom design and its rounded edges in the front. The bow of the Kona Numinous M2 is also designed to easily cut the surface of the water at any angle.
Low standing
A standing surface as low as possible in relation to the waterline contributes to lowering the common center of gravity (CCOG) of the paddler and the SUP board, which in turn means that the SUP board is not affected by the paddler's movements to the same extent. Numinous 14.0 M2H has been carefully designed for the lowest possible CCOG. This gives you the opportunity to put more of your energy into driving the board forward instead of having to compensate for the balance and lose speed.
Volume optimized
A hollow SUP board provides more volume, which contributes to increased buoyancy. The Numinous 14.0 M2 Hollow is therefore designed with the smallest possible volume in relation to the paddler's weight, type of water conditions and the distance speed at which the board is intended to be paddled. Through its volume distribution, the Kona Numinous 14.0 M2H also has high stability when the board is steered from the stern. The adapted volume in the stern also means that the board can be maneuvered quickly and easily during, for example, pivot turns and driven more easily with the waves when, for example, downwind paddling.
Course stability
Kona Numinous's sharp edges in the aft of the underside of the hull and its pronounced displacement bow contribute to direct foot control and increased course stability. Together with Kona's extra long and optimally placed fin box, the Numinous 14.0 M2H makes a paddle board with superb maneuverability and customization options.
Kona Numinous 14.0 M2 Hollow
Our development is your development. With a Kona Numinous 14.0 M2 Hollow and its superior responsivity, you never have to think about whether you have chosen the right SUP board. Now you can instead put all the focus on your own training and development and just enjoy the glide and the speed you perform - the Kona feeling.
