The HIPE Pro returns with every optimization that matters on the water. Weight has been reworked extensively. You feel the difference the moment you pick it up. The rigid tail rail adds more hydrodynamic efficiency and a much more direct feel underfoot. And the shape has been fine-tuned in detail to match modern demands: lively, precise, responsive, aligned with what’s required at the highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HIPE Pro remains a compact board with just the essential volume, so it’s clearly aimed at experienced riders. It’s about a nervous ride, fast rail-to-rail transitions, and the ability to relaunch hard. For 2026, it gains a bit more width under the back foot, making standstill phases and restarts easier, while adding stability when loading the foil and committing. In the larger sizes, the more even volume distribution makes the board easier to step onto, while keeping the model’s strong performance DNA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the water, the program is clear:\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026nbsp;insane glide, explosive repop\u003c\/strong\u003e, and real landing forgiveness thanks to inflatable construction. The rocker is tuned for acceleration and pop, with a tail that runs extremely efficiently before takeoff. The round tail and rounded rails keep the glide clean, reduce catching in hard turns, and maintain a predictable feel even when you push hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 2026, the big upgrade is also felt under your feet: the strap inserts are now fully \u003cstrong\u003eflush with the deck pad\u003c\/strong\u003e. The surface is flat with zero irritation, and contact is direct, strapless or in the most committed strapped setups. The three rear-strap positions let you fine-tune stance precisely to find the right balance between comfort and control, depending on style and level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 6 sizes to cover all rider weights, from \u003cstrong\u003e4’6 (60L)\u003c\/strong\u003e for lighter riders to\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026nbsp;5’6 (115L)\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003efor bigger riders or for a more confidence-inspiring entry into this shape. Everyone can chase the same idea: a short, lively board built to perform in surf \/ freestyle. Lowkite compatible, for sure, but with the right level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDay to day and on trips, that’s also the point: high performance without worrying about a hard board. It packs into a bag, inflates quickly, and delivers a feel very close to a hard board on the water. A pure-program HIPE, for riders who want to send hard, for a long time, anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GONG","offers":[{"title":"4'6","offer_id":56830046306679,"sku":"GON26INFWIFHIPPROBRU-46","price":579.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4'7","offer_id":56830046339447,"sku":"GON26INFWIFHIPPROBRU-47","price":599.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4'9","offer_id":56830046372215,"sku":"GON26INFWIFHIPPROBRU-49","price":639.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5'1","offer_id":56830046404983,"sku":"GON26INFWIFHIPPROBRU-51","price":659.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5'3","offer_id":56830046437751,"sku":"GON26INFWIFHIPPROBRU-53","price":679.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5'6","offer_id":56830046470519,"sku":"GON26INFWIFHIPPROBRU-56","price":699.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/5975\/5071\/files\/00-26-1500-WING-BOARD-INFLATABLE-2026-HIPE_PRO-4_7-GONGWING-TB_de2b8180-0bb3-4550-b687-14f64d80b617.png?v=1772633859","url":"https:\/\/www.gong-galaxy.com\/en-gb\/products\/gong-hipe-board-hipe-pro-26","provider":"GONG Galaxy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
