Numinous 14.0 Model 2 Core

Our new model of Numinous is for those who want the fastest paddle board for competition in most waters. Compared to the original Numinous, the model 2 is designed to better handle waves and swell that often occur during competition. If you are looking for a SUP board that makes you internationally competitive in all disciplines, this is our obvious recommendation.

Speed ​​phenomenon
One of the most difficult things in SUP is increasing speed, and what we wanted to achieve with the Numinous Model 2 was the ability to always be able to accelerate, regardless of starting speed and waves. The Kona Numinous 14.0 Model 2 Core is an extremely easy-to-drive and fast-accelerating SUP board that, thanks to its design, is just as good in a draft position as it is in what it was primarily created for, i.e. to be in the lead.

Power and control
Thanks to its well-thought-out design, long waterline and low standing surface, the Kona Numinous Model 2 has unparalleled stability and a glide that allows you, regardless of level, to convert all your power and energy into speed. The SUP board's well-balanced and optimal volume distribution means you can easily handle both wind and waves from all directions as well as the tightest pivot turns.

Built for speed
The Kona Numinous 14.0 Model 2 is a SUP board that is designed for the highest possible speed in dynamic water, i.e. where wave formation occurs, such as during an exercise race. It is also designed to be paddled in conditions where speed always costs power, i.e. to be able to paddle as fast as possible without the expected help of either wind, waves or currents. Despite this, it easily handles all the conditions that can be expected during competition. 

Stability - Stability for Performance™
For effective SUP paddling, we need to be able to paddle ergonomically and relaxed, we thereby need a paddle board that we feel is stable, i.e. does not wiggle at the slightest impact. The stability we are talking about here is the so-called the secondary stability, i.e. how stable the SUP board feels during speed. That the Kona Numinous Model 2, just like our other models, is perceived to be so stable, provides the prerequisite for us to be able to create the most optimal power transmission possible, where all the power also goes in the direction we want.

Glide
The reason why the Numinous 14.0 Model 2 has the best conditions for its outstanding gliding and acceleration ability is, among other things, this SUP board's low so-called bottom curvature, flat bottom design and rounded edges. The bow of the Kona Numinous also easily cuts through the surface of the water regardless of the angle.

Low standing
The Numinous 14.0 Model 2 is carefully designed so that the standing surface is as close to the waterline as possible, as this contributes to lowering the common center of gravity of the paddler and the SUP board. This in turn means that the paddle board is not affected by your movements to the same extent and you thereby have the opportunity to put more of your energy into driving the board  instead of having to compensate for the balance.

Volume optimized
The Numinous 14.0 Model 2 is designed with the smallest possible volume in relation to the weight of the paddler it must be able to carry and the normal speed at which the board is intended to be paddled. Through its adapted volume, the Kona Numinous 14.0 Model 2 also has high stability when the board controlled from the stern. The adapted volume in the stern also means that the board can be maneuvered more easily during, for example, pivot turns and is driven more easily with the waves when, for example, downwind paddling.

Course stability
Kona Numinous's sharp edges at the stern of the underside of the hull and its pronounced displacement bow contribute to direct foot control and course stability. Together with Kona's extra long and optimally placed fin box, the Numinous 14.0 makes the Model 2 a paddle board with superb maneuverability and customization options.

With a Kona Numinous Model 2, you never have to think about whether we chose the right SUP board. You can instead put all the focus on your own training and development and just enjoy the glide and the speed you perform - the Kona feeling
