Kona Brewing: Longboard Lager

Kona Brewing: Longboard Lager

Thanks to a legendary local Hawaiian, Longboards have been a constant feature at Waikiki Beach for over 90 years. The great Duke Kahanamoku, father of modern surfing and Olympic Gold Medalist, paddled his handcrafted wooden board—a whopping 16 feet long and weighing 114 pounds—out into the surf to ride the waves off Waikiki. This behemoth was dubbed a longboard and thus the ancient Polynesian sport of surfing was reborn. Today, in the shadow of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach is still the spot to learn the tradition of longboard surfing. Here you can catch set after set of rolling waves until the sun fades below the horizon, and then it’s time for a Longboard Lager.

Ride a wave of crisp refreshment with Longboard. It goes down smooth like the surf break at iconic Waikiki Beach - so chill, you’ll want to come back again and again. Paradies is just a sip away, so relax with your ohana and celebrate what makes life good. One life, right?
