Presentation

Discover the GONG Bodyguard Boardshort: an innovative boardshort, specially designed to provide you with enhanced protection against cuts during your foil sessions.

Faced with the various risks of cuts on the stabilizer, the front wing, and the mast, it seemed necessary to propose a new solution.

We have always prioritized safety in our foils, using non-sharp trailing edges, round or square tips, and clear instructions. However, at high speeds or during impacts, or with a competition foil, cuts are inevitable.

We have therefore developed the Bodyguard range of technical textile products, incorporating high-end technologies inherited from the world of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Made from HPPE (High Performance Polyethylene) fibers, the Bodyguard boardshort offers certified cut resistance level D according to the European standard EN 388. Applied to our sports, this cutting-edge technology ensures you additional protection against cuts related to foils and fins.

Our goal isn't to eliminate cuts: that's unrealistic. Foil sports are extreme sports, particularly because of this risk. Therefore, caution is essential in all situations. But an accident remains possible. Our aim is to reduce its consequences by eliminating minor, everyday cuts and minimizing the severity of serious injuries.

We've marinized our cut-resistant boardshorts to prioritize the protection of your vital organs. Falling on a foil is an intensely stressful experience. These boardshorts will reduce the potential for cuts, allowing you to escape unscathed from a minor impact and mitigating the consequences of a major one. Your safety is our priority, and enabling you to limit damage and reach the shore and rescue services is essential. This range of protective gear won't eliminate the risk of injury, but it will significantly reduce its impact in most accidents.

Designed for optimal freedom of movement, it is surprisingly lightweight and flexible.

Available in eight sizes, it has a loose fit to accommodate your wetsuit.

GONG once again establishes itself as a leader in innovation for sliding sports.

Attention :

The risk of serious injury cannot be completely eliminated. The Bodyguard boardshort should reduce the risk of cuts and their consequences, but it cannot protect against all injuries. It cannot protect against the force of an impact, for example. In the water, skin softens and easily tears under impact. In this case, the boardshort will be ineffective. Your caution is the most effective barrier against danger. Limiting cuts does not protect against punctures or extremely sharp objects. Be careful not to use very sharp or pointed foils. Blunt them if necessary by sanding the cutting edge into a round or square shape.

We also strongly recommend combining the wearing of a Bodyguard product with a thick suit, booties, an impact vest, and above all, a helmet!
