{"product_id":"gong-surf-pinta-eps","title":"GONG | Surf Pinta EPS","description":"\u003ch4\u003eProgram\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ultimate noserider for those seeking maneuverability and control in more powerful waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePresentation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pinta is a playful and dynamic version of the modernized traditional noserider concept, perfectly suited to consistent waves and steeper faces, while also offering strong responsiveness in weaker waves in addition to its nose-riding capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocated at the playful end of the Winstone \/ Misty range, it brings maneuverability and control in a classic shape optimized by EPS technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts generous overall surface is well distributed, with a rounded pintail inspired by the modern pig trend. This tail configuration allows both tight turns and effective steep face handling in hollower waves. The rounded pintail therefore offers a double essential function: radicalizing turns with precision and effectively relieving the nose during descents in steep sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis specific tail ideally accumulates water when positioned at the nose, creating a powerful leverage effect that stabilizes and automatically lifts the nose of the board, ensuring optimal balance and a perfectly maintained line in the wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe very pronounced rocker at the rear is central to this shape. It naturally moderates speed at the nose to keep the board perfectly set in the wave pocket, thus maximizing time spent on the nose without slipping out of the pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pronounced rocker curve in the rear third naturally lifts the board above the trim line when at the nose, offering a permanent lift that perfectly balances the surfer’s weight at the nose. This pronounced rocker also increases the board's maneuverability, facilitating precise turns even with its significant surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pinta’s rails, true to traditional 50-50, provide especially smooth and fluid glide. However, the tail finish is sharp, with sharpened rails at the extreme rear to preserve glide despite the strong rocker curve and to optimize tight turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese boards are built with EPS technology for the best strength\/responsiveness\/weight ratio, highlighting all the shape’s technical qualities. This is the modern technology currently favored by the most technical surfers seeking top performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pinta catches waves early when paddling and maintains smooth glide in all conditions. It’s designed for surfers who want to explore a dynamic and playful noseriding format while fully mastering their lines in more powerful waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA perfect mix of endless nose rides and radical turns, it also allows for simply enjoying exceptional maneuverability without compromising nose stability. The Pinta represents the ideal balance between radicality and control in GONG’s line of reinvented classic noseriders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GONG","offers":[{"title":"EPS \/ 9'2","offer_id":55477279654263,"sku":"GON25BOASURPINEPSWHI-92","price":934.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EPS \/ 9'4","offer_id":55477279687031,"sku":"GON25BOASURPINEPSWHI-94","price":949.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EPS \/ 9'7","offer_id":55477279719799,"sku":"GON25BOASURPINEPSWHI-97","price":964.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EPS \/ 10'3","offer_id":55477279621495,"sku":"GON25BOASURPINEPSWHI-103","price":994.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/5975\/5071\/files\/00-25-1500-SURF-LONGBOARD_EPS-PINTA-9_7-FOCUS-GONGSURF-TB.png?v=1757067611","url":"https:\/\/www.gong-galaxy.com\/en-ca\/products\/gong-surf-pinta-eps","provider":"GONG Galaxy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
