Seven visions of surf foil and an iconic new model!

This year, GONG is evolving its Surf Foil range with one simple idea: a board shouldn't just match your level, it should match your surfing style.

Each shape now has a clearly defined personality, with dedicated design choices that maximize its intended use. More refined hulls, concave cockpits on the highest performance models, tails tailored to each program, new foil box positioning... every detail has been optimized to deliver more feel, more control and greater overall consistency.

Even more specialized shapes

This new collection takes the specialization of each model even further. The most compact boards feature more planing hulls, more pronounced kick tails and a concave cockpit that improves foot placement feedback and foil control. At the other end of the spectrum, glide-focused shapes like the NOTW and the all-new Mister prioritize smoother lines and effortless glide for long, flowing rides.

The result is a range where every shape has an instantly recognizable character. Louis, Composite Boards Product Manager, introduces the lineup in this Tech Talk:

The range, shape by shape:

Lance: progression without compromise

The Lance remains the perfect entry point into surf foiling. Stable, easy to paddle and forgiving on take-offs, it lets you learn in the best possible conditions while offering far more than a beginner board. Its shape supports long-term progression, helping you build solid fundamentals while retaining real performance potential.

Available in EPS construction and 4 sizes: 4'8, 5'0, 5'3 and 5'6.

Matata: compact with a unique offset

Its generous width under the back foot allows for an exceptional strapless stance offset, a unique signature within the range. This position delivers unmatched foil control, lets you load turns with power, shift your feet freely and handle even the biggest front wings with precision. A lively, committed board that's incredibly effective for riders who love ultra-dynamic surf foil sessions.

Available in EPS Pro or FSP Pro construction, in 7 sizes from 4'3 to 4'9.

Lemon: modern versatility

The Lemon is the heart of the range. Its semi-compact outline strikes the perfect balance between paddling, stability, pumping efficiency and surfing performance. It excels in an enormous variety of conditions, letting you carve hard, accelerate, pump and link maneuvers effortlessly, without ever feeling like you're making compromises.

Available in EPS Pro or FSP Pro construction, in 8 sizes from 4'2 to 4'9.

Scura: speed, flow and carving

With its longer outline, the Scura is all about paddling speed, flow and long, drawn-out lines. It gets you into waves earlier, carries outstanding speed and lets you carve hard with exceptional control. A board designed for riders who put carving above everything else.

Available in EPS Pro or FSP Pro construction, in 8 sizes from 4'10 to 5'8.

Lethal: control in powerful waves

When the waves become faster and more hollow, the Lethal comes into its own. Narrower and more radical, it delivers exceptional high-speed control, handles aggressive angles and lets you ride smaller foils with precision. Its shape is designed to push the limits in waves with real power.

Available in EPS Pro or FSP Pro construction, in 9 sizes from 4'3 to 4'11.

NOTW: catch every wave before everyone else

The NOTW (Not Of This World) brings a different approach to surf foiling. Its mid-length outline promotes faster paddling, ultra-early take-offs and incredible glide in small waves, weak swell and bumps. Accessible, comfortable and highly efficient, it opens up a whole new playground for riders who want to maximize the number of waves they catch.

Available exclusively in EPS Pro construction, in 7 sizes from 4'10 to 7'8.

Mister: the return of true surf culture

The standout newcomer in this collection, the Mister brings the aesthetics and feel of classic surfboards back into the world of foil. Inspired by 1970s shapes, it features a beak nose, true surf rails and an elongated outline that invites long, flowing lines, smooth carves and elegant glide. More than just a new board, the Mister represents a different way to experience surf foiling, where style matters just as much as performance.

Available exclusively in EPS Pro construction, in 5'9, 6'9 and 7'9.

Three technologies for three ways to ride

The constructions have also evolved to offer the technology best suited to each riding style.

The Lance is available in EPS, an epoxy construction over an EPS core that is durable, lightweight, easy to repair and ideal for learning as well as long-term progression.

The high-performance models are available in EPS Pro, a carbon/fiberglass construction that prioritizes light weight, responsiveness and direct strapless feel.

Finally, a selection of shapes is also available in FSP Pro, GONG's full PVC/carbon sandwich construction. Stiffer, more durable and equipped with strap inserts, it is designed for the most committed riders, whether in strapped surf, tricks, tow-in or simply for those seeking maximum control under the highest loads.
