The 5-5
Explore the 5-5, Kona's fish-inspired soft-top built for easy wave-catching, playful speed, and a more compact feel than a longer beginner board.
Board Details
How does this board ride?
The 5-5 gets going easily, carries speed through smaller surf, and feels more playful than a typical straight-ahead beginner soft top. Its fish-influenced shape helps it feel quicker and more maneuverable while still staying buoyant and user-friendly.
What skill level is this board for?
The 5-5 can work for beginners who want a smaller board to learn on, but it also makes sense for surfers who want a fun soft-top option for smaller surf. It is a better fit when you want something looser and more playful than a longer foam board without jumping straight into a standard hardboard fish.
More board info
This board uses a fish-style outline with the wide point pushed back, a swallow tail, EPS core, two stringers, and a soft-top shell built for durability. The removable fin setup also gives the board a little more flexibility in how it can be ridden from casual surf sessions to more playful shorebreak days.
