The Scura EPS Pro is the fast paddle surf foil board, smooth in carves and high-performing, designed for early take-offs and carving with style, control, and power.

Introduction

The Scura EPS Pro is the surf foil board that puts paddling speed, glide, and carving at the heart of the game.

Its elongated and streamlined shape offers an excellent balance between paddling comfort, early take-offs, maneuverability, and powerful lines. It steps away from the compact shape universe to offer a more fluid, consistent, and poised feeling, while maintaining enough liveliness to remain highly performant underfoot.

Its teardrop outline concentrates the width where it truly matters: at the heart of the board, close to the shoulders when paddling and just at the heel of the front foot. This generous yet moderate wide point provides stability under the chest, comfort during take-off, and control in the stance, without burdening the extremities. The thin front and back one foot off sections limit inertia, giving the Scura a constant feeling of lightness in flight.

The Scura is made for wide and committed carves. Its thin and pinched tail allows for taking very steep angles without touching too early. You can push hard on the foil, hold a line, extend the stance, and carve with a lot of freedom, without the board's width blocking the movement.

It's a board that is surfed less in pivots and snaps than a pure compact: it favours beautiful carves, long stances, high average speed, and clean trajectories.

The thin and elongated nose retains just enough useful volume at the shoulders to maintain stability when paddling. The nose bulb enhances comfort under the chest, compensates for the lowered deck, and helps to stand up cleanly on an already formed slope. Thus, the Scura maintains real efficiency at take-off, with fast and smooth glide over a wide range of waves.

The forward-stretched rocker optimizes paddling speed and glide, while the longer, more progressive, and smoother kick tail complements the overall length of the shape. The Scura doesn't seek a brutal re-pop: it favours continuous, clean, and fluid glide, with an attitude close to a pin tail shortboard in surf foil.

The double concave hull at the nose channels the flow and softens water contact. The flat hull around the foil maximizes glide, paddling speed, and pumping efficiency. The shape remains stable when it touches, encouraging harder pushes and more engaged carves.

The faceted rails reduce the hull surface without losing the useful surface necessary for overall balance. The pronounced chines run far along the board to avoid contact, maintain smooth glide, and provide margin in significant angles. At the back, the rails remain thin and very tucked in to free up carves and allow for strong carving without touching too early.

Its pumping is efficient, smooth, and natural. The thin tips limit inertia, while the length brings consistency and smoothness in glide. The Scura allows returning to the peak, reconnecting on the set, and extending flights with fewer interruptions than a very compact board. It loves distance, speed, long stances, and established trajectories.

Built in EPS Pro, the Scura prioritizes lightness, responsiveness, and direct sensations. The carbon/glass construction provides a precise and lively board, with the necessary nervousness for effective pumping and enough smoothness to fully enjoy its more fluid style.

The new 5 mm Ridge Traction Pad provides very secure grip on essential stance areas, with firm hold and real comfort underfoot. The Scura comes with a front pad and a tail pad adhered, while the separately offered boomerang intermediate pad allows connecting these two areas for those who want a continuous grip surface.

The Scura EPS Pro is the board for riders who want to paddle fast, take off early, carve cleanly, hold steep angles, and trace their lines with style. An intuitive board by its glide, performant in its stance, and designed to draw beautiful trajectories in surf foil.

OUTLINE

The outline of the Scura is designed with a water drop logic: volume and width at the core of the board, then thin ends to limit inertia. The generous but not excessive wide point is placed near the shoulders when paddling and just at the heel of the front foot, where it truly provides comfort, stability, and control.

This distribution results in a board that is fast when paddling, stable under the chest, and very reliable at take-off, without unnecessarily loading the nose or tail. The front and rear one foot off remain thin, giving the Scura a light feel underfoot despite its length. It glides, carves beautiful lines, and remains lively in rhythm changes.

NOSE

The nose of the Scura is narrow, sleek, and light, with just the right amount of useful volume at the shoulders to maintain paddling comfort. It complements the length of the board without creating unnecessary bulk at the front, allowing for glide while keeping the board elegant and stable in the air.

The nose bulb places volume where it truly matters: under the chest. It compensates for the lowered deck in the stance area, improves paddling stability, and helps to stand up cleanly on an already formed slope, without unnecessarily thickening the support area.

DECK

The lowered deck creates a concave cockpit in the stance area to bring the feet closer to the foil. The support is more readable, more direct, and more precise, with a true connection to the plane in long curves as well as in rhythm changes.

On the Scura, this connection provides a smoother rather than explosive ride. You gradually load the supports, hold the lines, extend the curves, and maintain control in sharp angles. The placement remains natural when strapless, with a clean and consistent feel underfoot.

HULL

The narrow hull of the Scura favours glide continuity. The double concave at the nose channels the flow and softens water contact, while the flat hull around the foil maximises paddling speed, pumping efficiency, and a constant glide sensation.

The very tucked-in faceted rails reduce the hull surface and minimise contact in turns. The pronounced chines run far along the board to maintain a smooth glide, visually and mechanically refine the shape, and allow for steep angles without the board touching down too early.

TAIL

The narrow and pinched tail is one of the keys to the Scura's performance. It significantly reduces rear bulk and allows for taking very sharp angles without touching down too early. You can push hard, maintain support, and carve long turns without the tail width blocking the trajectory.

The kick tail is longer, more progressive, and smoother than on compact shapes. Its more advanced break complements the overall length of the board and prevents unwanted contact in large curves and during pumping. The Scura is less about abrupt re-pop and more about continuous, smooth, and clean glide, akin to a shortboard pin tail feel but in surf foil.

New Ridge Traction Pad

The new 5 mm Ridge Traction Pad delivers secure, comfortable grip across the key pressure zones. Its texture stabilizes foot placement, reduces micro-slippage, and enhances control during the most demanding phases of riding: pumping, committed turns, low landings, and re-accelerations.

Its three-piece layout allows the grip surface to be tailored to the board's intended use. On the 5'8 and all larger sizes, the central boomerang pad is integrated as standard to create a continuous traction surface, providing greater comfort when moving around the deck and during take-offs.

The circular perforations further reduce weight while improving grip underfoot, bringing your feet even closer to the board. The result is a board that feels livelier, more responsive, and more connected beneath your feet.

EPS Pro Technology

Light weight, responsiveness, and targeted reinforcement.

EPS Pro technology is designed for riders seeking the lightest possible feel, maximum responsiveness, and direct feedback underfoot. Its epoxy carbon/fiberglass construction over a high-density EPS core concentrates reinforcement only where loads are greatest, eliminating unnecessary weight.

3D-designed shape developed with CAD software for precise control of volume, outlines, and balance.
CNC pre-shaped blank ensuring perfect consistency from board to board.
Final hand-finishing using traditional templates to preserve the shaper's precision and attention to detail.
Epoxy carbon/fiberglass laminate over a 28 kg/m³ high-density EPS core, reinforced with a single 3 mm wooden stringer to combine light weight, durability, and lively flex.
Deck: one layer of 6 oz carbon fibre to maximize responsiveness, backed by one layer of 6 oz fiberglass for impact absorption.
Bottom: one full layer of 6 oz carbon fibre, reinforced with two staggered carbon patches around the US boxes to reduce the risk of damage in this highly loaded area.
Rails: the deck laminates overlap the bottom laminate, creating a three-layer carbon/fiberglass/carbon rail structure that maximizes impact and flex resistance while increasing overall stiffness and responsiveness.
Foil box construction: a 35 mm thick, 80 kg/m³ high-density PVC foam insert fully integrates the twin US boxes into a rigid, waterproof structural block.
Pigmented hot coat for premium finish quality, lower weight, and increased durability.
Hand-finished matte custom finish to minimize weight while maintaining clean hydrodynamic performance.
Light pink bottom finish to reduce heat build-up by reflecting more sunlight.

Even with this light-coloured finish, an EPS board should never be unnecessarily exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat.

For whom?

The Scura EPS Pro is aimed at advanced to pro riders who want a surf foil board that paddles fast, feels smooth underfoot, and can hold steep angles with clean carving, long curve radii, and an engaged surfing style if desired.

In larger sizes, it can be the board for a motivated beginner with a strong progression curve, perhaps through good surfing experience. They will find in the Scura a board that is easy to start but very compatible with their reading and desires.

It suits those looking for a longer board with more glide and consistency than a compact shape, without losing the precision needed to push hard in turns. Its wide point placed at the heart of the board provides comfort under the chest and stability at take-off, while its thin tips limit inertia and maintain a real sense of lightness in flight.

The Scura appeals to riders who love to draw beautiful lines, hold their stance, maintain average speed, return to the peak by pumping, and surf with flow. It is less about pivoting and snapping than a pure compact: it favours wide carves, clean trajectories, long stances, and significant angles.

To avoid if...

The Scura EPS Pro is not the best choice if the main goal is to have a very compact board, very explosive in pumping, made for short snaps, tricks, airs, or a very abrupt and broken style.

It is also not the most logical choice if the rider is only looking for a very easy, very voluminous board with a lot of tolerance at low speed and ultra-assisted paddling. The Scura remains a performance board: it glides fast, starts early, but requires a minimum of reading, timing, and positioning to exploit its potential.

If the goal is to pump hard with the minimum length underfoot, a more compact shape will be more suitable. If the goal is, on the contrary, to surf with more consistency, more distance, a higher average speed, and more smoothness in trajectories, the Scura makes perfect sense.

For what?

The Scura EPS Pro is made to paddle fast, start early, hold long curves, and push hard in angles without the board touching too early. Its thin, pinched tail releases large angles, while its very inset faceted rails keep contacts away and maintain a healthy glide when the board returns to water contact.

It excels in waves where you want to draw a real trajectory: gain speed, set a long stance, hold the line, carve cleanly, then head to the next with smooth and natural pumping. Its elongated shape brings consistency, while its thin tips limit inertia to keep a lively board underfoot.

The Scura allows transitioning from a performance surf foil approach to a feeling closer to mid-length depending on the chosen size. The small sizes remain very performant and precise. The intermediate and long sizes offer more comfort, paddling, and versatility. The large sizes allow surfing small waves, wind waves, weak swells, or softer lines with more glide, and starting in deeper water to pass the foil.

It's the board for riders who want style, speed, angles, and clean trajectories. It maximizes the pleasure of gliding without becoming sluggish, with fluid, engaged carving and a real ability to extend flights by reconnecting on the series.

Understanding the GONG range

`

What board size?

The choice of size depends on weight, level, spot, wave type, and desired style.

The small sizes, from 4’4 to 4’10, are aimed at riders who want a more nervous, precise, and performant Scura in classic surf foilable waves. They favour large angles, liveliness underfoot, and engaged carving while maintaining the clean glide DNA of the Scura.

The intermediate and long sizes, from 5’4 to 5’10, offer more paddling, comfort, and efficiency in small waves, windy days, or less powerful waves. They approach a mid-length program in surf foil, with more distance, consistency, and easier glide to establish.

An advanced rider will choose a volume that retains enough stability under the chest to paddle efficiently, position properly, and start early. An expert or pro rider may reduce volume to gain liveliness and reduce inertia, but without forgetting that the interest of the Scura also comes from its glide, length, and consistency.

Refer to the size chart to choose the appropriate volume according to weight, level, and usual conditions.

If hesitating between two sizes, opt for the larger one to gain comfort in paddling, early start, and glide in weak or irregular conditions.

Choose the smaller one only if the technical level allows compensating for the loss of volume and if the primary goal is liveliness, precision, and engaged stances in already sufficiently supportive waves.

Which foil?

The Scura will be perfect with the Curve H, Fluid H, and Veloce H ranges.

Each of these high-performance wings has its strengths on which development has been particularly focused:

The Curve H: the combo of manoeuvrability and lift.
It is the queen of carving and low range (which does not mean it cannot go high!). It is also the most comfortable for pumping, allowing for many connections without burning the thighs.

The Fluid H: the combo of manoeuvrability and speed.
Perfect for turning very tight, going fast, gliding, and having a very nervous ride. Add to that a very powerful pop, and it's a foil that truly goes wherever you want, in the water or in the air!

The Veloce H: the combo of glide and versatility.
It is a freefly and downwind machine. With it, you glide and connect bumps without limit with incomparable fluidity. It has great acceleration capacity on the wave and a very low stall speed, making flight easy in all circumstances.

The Veloce HDW: 100% glide.
To be even more focused on the infinite glide program, the Veloce HDW. The queen of downwind.

The Sirus: the ultimate ratio wings to fly longer than anyone else in marginal conditions and dock start.

Which stabiliser?

Example: Preferably, we recommend pairing a Curve H stabiliser with your Curve H front wing, as these two components are designed for the same program and optimised to work in perfect harmony.

General guidelines on choosing stabiliser sizes:
The preferred size will depend on your support, level, weight, spot conditions, and also your front wing.
