Plantain
Explore the Plantain, Kona's approachable soft-top funboard built for easy paddling, stable takeoffs, and a laid-back ride that still feels clean underfoot.
Board Details
How does this board ride?
The Plantain paddles easily, carries enough volume to stay steady underfoot, and keeps the ride relaxed instead of twitchy. It is built for straightforward wave-catching and forgiving turns, which makes it easy to enjoy in the kinds of softer conditions where a funboard shape makes the most sense.
What skill level is this board for?
The Plantain suits new surfers who want a board that feels stable and confidence-building, but it also works for casual surfers who just want an easy board for mellow sessions. It is a good fit when you want a softer construction without giving up the feel of a more considered shape.
More board info
This board uses a wider outline, rounded nose, generous rocker and volume, and a refined foil and rail line that keeps the shape from feeling bulky. The EPS core, epoxy lamination, and IXPE soft deck aim for a balance of durability, buoyancy, and a softer learning-friendly feel.
