Who We Are
Kona Surfboards, established in 1973 by Mike Sciarra after sharpening his shaping skills on the North Shore, quickly became a key fixture in the NJ surf scene by combining quality, affordability, and community spirit inspired by a love for the ocean and legendary surfers. Reinvigorated a decade ago under Chris Sciarra’s leadership, the brand now focuses on East Coast waves, utilizing advanced CNC technology and meticulous craftsmanship to produce durable, high-performance surfboards tailored to local conditions. We honor Mike’s legacy of care and precision, now enhanced through innovative manufacturing processes to ensure each board reflects the unique style and needs of its rider; customers can design their dream boards using our printable PDF order form or our online Shape 3D Board Builder, then submit their designs in person or via email at customsurfboards@konasurfco.com, so we can craft a personalized, top-tier surfboard that helps you stand out in the water.
