FAQs

The Kunpeng is best for intermediate surfers and advanced riders who want a short, high-volume fish for smaller surf. It fits surfers who are already catching waves consistently and want a 5'8 board that still gives enough foam and speed to stay friendly in weaker conditions.

Yes. The Kunpeng is built for small-wave performance, with more usable volume and speed generation than a more traditional shortboard. It is a much better fit for everyday weaker surf than a low-volume board that needs more punch to come alive.

Epoxy construction keeps the board light and lively while giving more durability than a typical beginner soft top. In the Kunpeng, that means easier speed generation, solid paddle help for its size, and a shape that gives progressing surfers room to push without going straight to a demanding high-performance shortboard.
