Slingshot
Explore the Slingshot, Kona's performance rounded-pin shortboard for surfers who want speed, stability, and a little more confidence when the surf gets cleaner and more powerful.
Board Details
How does this board ride?
The Slingshot carries speed well, feels composed on rail, and stays confident when the wave gets steeper or starts to barrel. The foil and lowered rails help it feel controlled rather than twitchy, which is part of what makes it a reliable board for more demanding sessions.
What skill level is this board for?
The Slingshot suits surfers who want a shortboard for better surf but do not need the full intensity of the most rockered shapes in the lineup. It makes sense for riders who want a dependable performance board that still paddles and settles in a little easier than a true top-end step-up.
More board info
This model uses a slightly forward performance outline, mid nose rocker with a touch of extra tail kick, single to slight double concave, and a thumb tail. That setup gives the board a strong mix of drive, hold, and smooth turning in better surf.
