Buddha
Explore the Buddha, Kona's fuller longboard built for surfers who want extra flotation, steady glide, and a board that still feels responsive once they are on rail.
Board Details
How does this board ride?
The Buddha paddles in early, feels settled through trim, and carries enough width and volume to stay forgiving when the surf is average. It still turns cleaner than a heavy, sluggish log because the volume is carried in a way that keeps the rails usable.
What skill level is this board for?
The Buddha makes the most sense for larger surfers and for anyone who wants more paddle help and stability than a narrower longboard. It suits surfers who value wave count and confidence underfoot without moving all the way into a purely beginner shape.
More board info
This shape keeps a rounded nose, wide point forward, relaxed entry rocker, extra tail kick, single-to-double-to-vee bottom, and a rounded squash tail. That mix gives the board easy glide up front and a little more release and responsiveness off the back half.
