OK. I'll answer my own question. Steve G. got top 10 in the 2016 USWA Nationals slalom event on a Kona with a Kona 9.0. Would he have done better on a slalom board? Sure. But it shows the potential of a big sailor who knows what he's doing on a Kona. |
Do you know if he was sailing with the Kona class fin too?
I think his biggest handicap must have been the sail, followed by the fin. Clearly not the board. |

| I agree Sailboarder. If Craig Spottiswood aka "Spotty" Sailed a 12' 6" windsup over 34 knots with no footsrtaps, then I have no doubt that a Kona 1 could reach or exceed this speed. 34 kts = 39 mph. |
