Tona Boards

I wanted to give everyone the heads up.....I am the new Canadian west coast rep/rider for Tona Boards!!!

Here is the mission statement from the boyz... Welcome to TONA. A company committed to developing superior kite boarding gear by utilizing our greatest asset, YOU, the rider. Our goal is to reach out directly to the source, to gain the best feedback possible through our core community, Kite Scoop, bringing you the gear that you demand to take your riding to the next level. We want to push the progression of the sport offering products that are geared towards the riders needs. Keeping our finger on the pulse of the industry we believe that we can offer something fresh and different.

The Tona Pop brings something fresh back into the kiteboarding world with its unique design and bottom contour. If you are looking for a board that explodes off the water whether its on natural kickers or flat water, without sacrificing any upwind ability, you will love this board. The Pop is stiffer than the average kiteboard on the market, this helps the board hold its static rocker line while riding and also helps generate the maximum amount of energy when you load up to pop off the water. The double concave in the center and deep channels along the rails give the board lots of stablity while riding finless, and the flat surface area out the tail makes for minimal drag and great release off the water on air tricks. The channels are also effective in creating extra surface area, which in turn increases upwind ability. The Pop does not disappoint!

The Driftwood 118 is a product of the ideas that we have collected from our riders over the past few years. Its birth place was on Kite Scoop where wake style movement riders wanted a kite specific skate and the driftwood was born. A skate totally dedicated to kiting. With it’s solid wood 3D CNC shaped deck with raised tips and sides, and the choice of either EVA or grip tape (both come included) you will get the 3D shape with both choices of decking for personalized feel, all in one package. The size and weight was extensively tested and tweaked to suit kiting and the rails fine tuned for optimized feel. Want something fresh to spark up you session? Try the Driftwood, a kiteskate designed with you in mind.
