The performance of carbon and fiberglass prepreg

• ICS Full composite prepreg plate, high-end
• A high-end optimized construction: monolithic, stringers and layered fabrics, aeronautical know-how at the service of the inflatable wing foil.
• High density foam and longitudinal stringers to limit flex and weight.
• US rails machined directly into the fiber: incredible performance.

• Unparalleled dynamism and responsiveness.
• A foil + inflatable combination without any loss of sensations!

A board innovative and meticulously designed down to the last detail:

• PVC reinforcement under the plate to protect the float with an additional layer.
• PVC reinforcement on the plate to protect the carbon and the bonding from heat, and to distribute the stresses as far as possible on the plate to prevent detachment.
• Double non-through brass inserts connected by a carbon fiber rod to easily screw the foil on without risking drilling into the board.
• The large diameter leash ring is the strongest on the market. It is essential for wingfoil use.

Wood 2X Technology

Our entry-level construction is of very high quality, with a full wood sandwich and reinforcements in PVC sandwich and fiberglass.

The board is fully reinforced beyond the fiberglass lamination with a vacuum-bonded wood sandwich and an extra-strong biaxial fiberglass layer. Fully means the deck, the bottom, and also the rails.

The deck benefits from an additional reinforcement in 3mm high-density PVC (Airex) sandwich, which limits all impacts and guarantees durability. It’s the perfect technology for beginners looking for an unbeatable price/strength ratio.

• 3D shaping with modeling software.
• CNC pre-shape for total reliability.
• Shape control using traditional templates, with the final millimeter finished 100% by hand.
• 100% Epoxy board with EPS blank: strong and lightweight.
• Deck, bottom, and rails in vacuum-bonded wood sandwich: unbeatable price/strength ratio.
• Deck: full wood/fiberglass sandwich made of a wood core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass plus 1 layer of 6oz biaxial fiberglass, plus a PVC/fiberglass sandwich over the entire standing area.
• Bottom: full wood/fiberglass sandwich made of a wood core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass plus 1 layer of 6oz biaxial fiberglass.
• Rails: the wood sandwich structure fully wraps the rails, ensuring structural strength and good shock resistance.
• Foil-specific reinforcements: high-density, waterproof PVC block housing the two US boxes and handle.
• The PVC box block is connected to the deck to avoid EPS delamination in this critical zone.
• Four layers of carbon reinforce the boxes.
• Integrated GONG carrying handle within the box reinforcement and PVC bottom sandwich: no risk of breakage around this area.
• First epoxy hot coat: premium process, no porosity, strong finish.
• Second polyester hot coat: easy repairability and flawless finish.
• “Custom finish” matte coating, hand-applied, for weight savings and improved glide.
  

Boards built with our WOOD 2X technology offer the best strength/price ratio on the market.

Main qualities of the components:

EPS core: Lightweight, shock-absorbing, shape memory.
Epoxy resin: Durable, less brittle, shape memory.
Fiberglass: Strength, less brittle, forgiving, flexible.
Wood: Strength, reliability, unbeatable price.
High-density PVC foam: Waterproof, hard, strong, shape memory.

FSP 2X Technology

The FSP 2X is our innovative, high-end technology, for the best weight/strength/performance compromise on the market.

FSP 2X is a full sandwich of biaxial fiberglass and PVC. This high-density, 3mm-thick material is strong, lightweight, and hydrophobic. It forms a rigid and solid integral shell over the EPS core of your board. Combined with biaxial fiber, it guarantees the best durability/performance compromise on the market. And with the manufacturing process that combines vacuum packaging, the final weight of your board is perfectly controlled.

Durable, efficient, repairable, the brands capable of offering a total PVC sandwich as standard in wing form can be counted on the fingers of one hand. GONG is the leader!

• 3D shape on modeling software.
• CNC pre-shaped for total reliability.
• Shape control by traditional templates, finishing of the last mm 100% by hand.
