Wasabi
Explore the Wasabi, Kona's performance swallow shortboard for surfers who want speed, cleaner turning response, and a board that still carries enough width to stay useful outside perfect surf.
Board Details
How does this board ride?
The Wasabi feels quick underfoot, carries speed well through the middle of the board, and still feels controlled when you lean on the tail. The extra width through the nose and tail helps it keep drive, while the swallow tail and bottom contours keep it responsive through turns.
What skill level is this board for?
The Wasabi is best for surfers who already want a more performance-oriented shortboard feel but do not want an ultra-narrow, ultra-demanding shape. It fits riders who want one shortboard that can cover everyday punchier surf as well as cleaner, better waves.
More board info
The shape uses a slightly forward performance outline, moderate rocker, single-to-double concave into vee, and a swallow tail. The 5-fin setup adds flexibility, so the board can be tuned for a little more drive or a little more release depending on the conditions.
