Oyster Catcher
Explore the Oyster Catcher, Kona's small-wave groveler built for easy speed, earlier entry, and more fun when the surf is soft or underpowered.
Board Details
How does this board ride?
The Oyster Catcher paddles in easily, picks up speed early, and keeps enough looseness through the rails to stay fun once the wave stands up. It is built to make softer surf feel less frustrating, with a ride that stays quick and lively instead of sluggish.
What skill level is this board for?
The Oyster Catcher works well for surfers who want more help in weaker surf without stepping all the way into a longboard or fuller midlength. It makes a strong first hardboard for progressing surfers and stays useful for experienced riders who want a dependable small-wave option.
More board info
This shape uses a rounded nose, wide point forward, mid entry and tail rocker, 60/40 rails, a single-to-double concave bottom, and a rounded pin tail. That combination helps the board catch waves sooner, carry speed through flatter sections, and still feel composed when the face gets cleaner or steeper.
