GEAR: I-SUP 2026, THE NEW RELEASES UNVEILED!

New models and redesigned shapes incoming!

With the 2026 I-SUP range, GONG continues to develop a premium inflatable SUP collection designed to deliver maximum performance, comfort and durability. This year, three new models join the lineup: the I-SUP Hybrid, the I-SUP Do It and the I-SUP Adventure.

The core models also evolve with new sizes and updated shape features. As always, the range is built using premium double-layer welded Woven Dropstitch construction: ultra-rigid, lightweight and durable.

THREE NEW MODELS

• I-SUP Hybrid

The I-SUP Hybrid completes the range between the Shortboard and the Longboard with a versatile, accessible and ultra-fun surf program.

Inspired by compact rigid surf shapes such as the Mob, it focuses on stability, ease of use and speed generation in everyday wave conditions.

Its compact and buoyant outline helps you catch waves early, accelerate easily and maintain glide even in softer conditions.

Whether cruising or surfing, it delivers a reassuring, intuitive and playful feel with smooth, modern rail-to-rail transitions.

A board designed to surf more often, more easily and with maximum enjoyment.

• I-SUP Do It

The I-SUP Do It is the most accessible and inclusive board in the range, designed to make SUP simple and fun from the very first minutes on the water.

Inspired by the bestselling Allround shape, it focuses on maximum stability and immediate ease of use for every level and every rider size.

Easy to paddle, reassuring in small waves and ultra-comfortable, it allows anyone to discover SUP, cruising or surfing without apprehension.

Its wide and balanced shape also opens the door to chill sessions, yoga and outings with family or friends.

An obvious choice for enjoying the water easily, progressing quickly and sharing maximum fun.

• I-SUP Adventure 

The I-SUP Adventure is the expedition board of the range, designed for long distances, autonomy and demanding conditions.

Originally developed for Ingrid Ulrich’s SUP expeditions in Greenland, it combines maximum stability, high carrying capacity and excellent glide.

Available in 11’ and 14’, it adapts equally well to compact and agile adventures or long-distance expeditions carrying large amounts of gear.

Its ultra-reinforced dual-chamber construction allows you to explore with total confidence in the most demanding environments.

A board designed to go further, carry more and explore without limits.

SHAPE EVOLUTIONS AND NEW SIZES

• I-SUP Allround

A versatile reference for both cruising and surfing, the Allround evolves in 2026 toward even greater comfort and glide. Its optimized shape offers a more predictable surf feel with increased control and stability through turns.

The 10’6 becomes wider to provide more comfort and confidence, whether cruising or taking off on a wave. The rounder outline also improves maneuverability for a more playful and intuitive surf experience.

The entire range benefits from an updated scale design: larger sizes retain controlled widths to preserve glide and paddling efficiency.

• I-SUP Cruising

The 2026 shape evolves with a more buoyant nose to provide greater paddling support while retaining the smooth glide qualities that made this stretched shape so successful.

At equivalent sizes, the board gains 5 to 10 liters in the front third, improving comfort and efficiency when increasing paddling tempo. The fast rocker and fluid hull still deliver excellent cruising speed.

The range also expands with the addition of a new 10’6 size alongside the 11’6 and 12’6 models.

• I-SUP Longboard

In 2026, the I-SUP Longboard evolves to get even closer to the feeling of a true surf longboard: more flow, more style and even greater comfort.

The outline is refined with -1’’ at the wide point on the 9’ and 10’, and up to -4’’ on the 11’, now available in a 4’’ thickness. The result is better glide both while cruising and surfing, without compromising stability.

The OFO nose and tail dimensions are significantly increased to provide more support at the nose, a more powerful tail and smoother movement between maneuvers and nose rides.

The transition from a round tail to a squash tail brings greater rail stability, more intuitive surfing and improved control in softer waves, with more time to set up maneuvers.

• I-SUP Shortboard

In 2026, the Shortboard evolves toward even more committed and high-performance surfing. The refined shape, with -1’’ at equivalent size and a thinner nose, improves precision, responsiveness and rail-to-rail speed.

The new diamond tail delivers more acceleration, drive and high-speed stability, resulting in a sharper and more performance-oriented board underfoot.

THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

I-SUP boards feature double-layer thermo-welded construction on both deck and hull. This membrane provides the lightweight feel of modern construction while maintaining the rigidity of a double-layer build.

The dropstitch used in I-SUP boards is Woven Dropstitch: the highest-performing assembly method in the inflatable world, combining light weight, rigidity and durability.

Woven Dropstitch Fusion technology offers the best balance of weight, stiffness and strength. Combining our historic Double Layer Welded technology with new Woven Dropstitch construction, this technology is by far the most reliable, lightweight and rigid.
