I've been surfing for over 50 years

I've been surfing for over 50 years, Long boards, short boards, SUPs. A few years ago I go an iSUP (inflatable). It was good when others wanted to get in the water with me or try surfing for the first time. BUT...It just wasn't right (for me) surfing. The fins were flexible. it was slow and just didn't surf the same as my hard boards.
Then I read about HoNu Bondi, an iSUP designed FOR surfing. I hate paying the board fees to travel surf so I bought one. WoW, it's nothing like the iSup I have The Bondi SURFS!!! I even tried my custom fins to see if it would work better? NO, they did some great R&D to get those fins to work that great.
If youron the line trying to figure if you should buy one or not...DO IT! Their great.

Awesome board!

I LOVE my Bondi 8'8! It surfs just as well as my hard board and the fact that I can roll it up and take on a plane for my next adventure is a game changer!

Fantastic board

Fantastic board, far exceeded expectations!
Shortest paddleboard I own yet stable enough for a 56 year old overweight man (90 kg). Turns with ease, amazed I can do off the lips and floaters almost as easily as on my hard board even with the centre fin in. As a twinnie its even better.
Highly recommend for SUP surfers who want a board to take on flights without the hassle of taking their hard board.
Wished I found it last year.
Everything is quality, board, bag, extra long traction pad.
Mark is a genius!

This is my first surfing SUP

This is my first surfing SUP. I've been out 5 times on our local reservoir including 20 mile per hour winds with gusts to 30 so there was some wave action. The board was more stable than expected and delightfully maneuverable. Can't wait to try it in real surf.

Extremely pleased SUP surf newbie

New to SUP surfing and don't think I could have chosen a better board. I did my research which included watching an interview with Mark. That was the decider. Craftsmanship and material quality on this board is top-notch. I've had numerous outings with it and find it to be very maneuverable and relatively easy to catch waves with. The deck material grips well yet feels comfortable under foot. I'm always looking forward to the next time I can take my Bondi out for another session. That pretty much sums it up.

I have paddled in choppy ocean surf and the board felt very stable to me

I have paddled in chip ocean and the board felt very stable to me. Unfortunately, I did not find any waves to test it out how it did surfing. I hope to do so soon. It was easy traveling with and I felt pumping it up and getting the fins on were easy.

Looks to be a well built board. I purchased this as a gift so can’t say how it works from personal experience but reports say it’s awesome.

Fantastic board

I was looking for a board that would handle a not-so-high Mediterranean surf better than an all-round SUP that I had. So happy to have found the Bondi 9.5! It feels almost like a hard board, suitable both for short morning runs and catching some waves. Super stable and versatile. Excellent quality and exceptional customer service.

When we set out to design the Bondi, the goal was absolute: create an inflatable that performs like a hardboard, with zero compromise. Eighteen months of development, countless prototypes, and obsessive attention to every detail...From board-specific asymmetrical fin boxes to the precise rocker profile.  The result is a board capable of handling surf of any size with complete confidence.

Available in 8'8" and 9'5", the Bondi is just 4" thick and built with X-woven drop-stitch and Honu's exclusive Welded Carbon Rails. An aggressive outline and rocker work in harmony with a hard PVC rail edge that runs from just ahead of the side fins around the tail. The result? Steep take-offs, powerful bottom turns, and vertical carving that feels shockingly close to glass.

The Futures-compatible fin system includes high-performance Volan fiberglass fins in a twin + 1 setup. Run all three for maximum stability and drive, or pull the center fin for a fast, loose, skatey feel that advanced riders crave. One board, infinite possibilities—whether you're chasing head-high barrels or dawn patrol runners.

This is one outstanding surfing iSUP

The new Bondi is a real ripper! We heard this board was coming about a year ago, from the Honu designer Mark Travers. So we’ve been eagerly waiting! He said it was going to be a new board to take inflatable SUP surfing to the next level. And now having used the Bondi, lets just say this board didn’t disappoint!

Inflatable SUP Surf Mastery

Having recently put the Bondi iSUP Surf board by HONU through a test drive, I’m excited to share my thoughts. This board stands out not just because it’s an inflatable board designed specifically for surfing – obviously offering the benefits of portability – but because it is evident that HONU CEO and designer Mark Travers is an engineer at heart, as the board features several premium exclusive innovations, particularly in the rails and fin department, which are real differentiators in the inflatable SUP surf segment.

AGGRESSIVE ROCKER & OUTLINE

The Bondi's rocker and outline are built for committed surfing. An aggressive nose rocker handles steep drops without pearling, while the pulled-in tail and hard rail edge let you snap tight, vertical turns with minimal effort. The slimmed-down nose and tail reduce swing weight, giving you direct, instant response when you load the rail. Whether you're carving bottom turns or hitting the lip, the board goes exactly where you point it—fast, precise, and locked in.

FEELS LIKE A HARDBOARD

The Bondi doesn't just mimic hardboard performance—it delivers it. The 4" construction, X-woven drop-stitch, and welded carbon rails combine to create a board so stiff and responsive, you'll forget it's inflatable. From the moment you stand up, you feel the direct connection to the water: every weight shift translates instantly into movement, rail transitions are crisp and predictable, and the board tracks through turns with zero flex or lag. Available in 8'8" and 9'5", the Bondi is purpose-built for riders who refuse to compromise.

A PREMIUM SURFING SUP

The Bondi arrives ready for adventure. A premium roller backpack crafted from 1680D ripstop nylon protects your investment and makes travel effortless, with reinforced handles and organized internal pockets. The included safety leash keeps you connected in challenging conditions, while the high-performance Volan fins deliver the precise control and drive serious surfers demand. Everything you need to chase waves anywhere in the world—no compromises, no afterthoughts, just a complete travel surfing SUP package built to the same exacting standards as the board itself.

4" Deck

At just 4" thick, the Bondi matches the profile of a composite hardboard—not the bulky 6" construction common in most iSUPs. This slimmer profile lowers your center of gravity, putting you closer to the water for better board feel and more responsive control. You'll notice sharper turns, quicker rail-to-rail transitions, and the confidence to commit to steep drops and powerful bottom turns.

Midsize Funboard Outline

The Bondi's outline blends the paddle power of a longboard with the maneuverability of a shortboard. A fuller nose and balanced midsection provide the buoyancy to catch waves early, while the pulled-in tail and moderate rocker let you carve tight arcs and commit to critical sections. It's a versatile shape that handles everything from mellow rollers to overhead sets without compromise.

Solid PVC Rail Edge

A solid PVC rail edge runs from just ahead of the side fins around the entire tail section. This hard edge breaks water tension for increased speed and allows you to carve dynamic, committed turns at the top and bottom of the wave face, delivering the sharp, responsive turns you'd normally only expect from a high-performance hardboard, not an inflatable.

Twin + 1 Volan Fins

The Bondi includes a complete set of high-performance Volan fins in a twin + 1 configuration. Run it as a twin for fast, loose, skatey turns that let advanced riders push the limits. Add the center fin for extra stability and drive when conditions demand it. One board, multiple setups—tune your ride to match your style and the surf.

Heavy Duty Roller Backpack

The material is 1680D ripstop nylon, which is extremely durable and repairable. One of the first things you will notice when you put the bag on your back is how chunky the shoulder straps, waist belt, and buckles are. Everything is over-engineered and designed to last.

X-Woven & Fused

LIGHTER. STIFFER. NO COMPROMISE

The drop-stitch fabric in every Honu board is made to order...Exclusively for us. It's the most advanced (and most expensive) drop-stitch material available, and it's the foundation of why Honu boards are independently verified as the lightest and stiffest in their class.

Multiple layers of woven drop-stitch are fused during manufacturing, with polyester threads crisscrossed through the vinyl like carbon fibre. The result is a board that's exceptionally light, remarkably stiff, and delivers a ride closer to a hardboard than any inflatable you've paddled.

Welded Carbon Rails

ENGINEERING YOU CAN SEE. PERFORMANCE YOU CAN FEEL.

The rail construction is where engineering meets obsession. We heat-and-pressure weld 3K carbon fiber directly into the inner rail layer—the most critical component for a leak-proof, rigid board. It's a demanding process requiring two experienced technicians working in perfect sync to ensure the welded strip runs flawlessly around the entire perimeter.

The result? The stiffest possible rail layup, with leak and return rates so low they're almost non-existent. An outer rail layer is then bonded for added rigidity and abrasion resistance, ensuring the board performs flawlessly session after session, year after year.
