The Lemon EPS Pro is the modern and versatile surf foil board, designed to carve hard, pump efficiently, connect and perform in a wide range of conditions with a semi-compact, precise and very balanced shape.

Introduction

The Lemon EPS Pro is the quintessential modern surf foil board: semi-compact, high-performing, instinctive, and very balanced. It combines enough length to maintain paddling efficiency, enough compactness to stay lively while pumping, and enough useful width to offer control in turns without becoming cumbersome.

Its semi-compact shape concentrates volume where it truly matters: under the chest, under the front foot, and in the stance area. While paddling, the Lemon maintains good balance and efficient glide to position cleanly and achieve aggressive take-offs. Then, its contained length limits inertia and allows for precise foil control.

The outline is designed to offer true freedom of stance without excessive width. The middle third remains buoyant, the tips are refined, and the rear foot retains enough space to charge turns strapless with a natural offset just before the winger. This balance gives the Lemon its all-around character: high-performing, manoeuvrable, readable, and effective in a wide variety of conditions.

The rear winger is a key point of the shape. It allows for a significant reduction in width near the tail while maintaining a squash tail. The board retains pop, support, and efficiency, but the tail touches less in turns. Result: more engaged turns, less clutter under the rear foot, and a board that can be pushed hard without becoming physically demanding.

The lowered deck with concave cockpit brings the feet closer to the foil to enhance steering precision. The connection with the foil is more direct, the stance is more readable, and each weight transfer translates immediately into the foil. You can carve hard, pump efficiently, and change direction with a real sense of control.

The hull maximizes the useful surface around the foil to maintain efficiency before take-off, during pumping, and in contact phases. The double concave at the nose channels flows and softens touchdowns, while the flat central area provides efficient glide and a sharp response that boosts relaunch.

The recessed and verticalized kick tail limits suction when the board touches the water. Combined with the liberating rear rails with sharp edges, it allows for maintaining speed on the water, easily re-popping: essential for engaging without excessive apprehension of contact. The Lemon remains stable when touching, the contact is integrated into the normal behaviour of the shape, which gives confidence to carve harder and attempt more on critical sections.

Its pumping efficiency is one of its great assets. The Lemon allows for easy acceleration, returning to the peak, setting off again, and chaining moves.

It is not made for just one style: it allows for varying rhythms, carving, pumping, playing with sections, and remaining high-performing in many configurations.

Built in EPS Pro, the Lemon prioritizes lightness, reactivity, and direct sensations. The carbon/glass construction provides a lively, precise, and responsive board, with the necessary comfort to chain waves, connections, and manoeuvres without being hindered by the equipment.

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

The Lemon EPS Pro is the board for sessions where everything needs to be done well: starting cleanly, pumping with efficiency, carving hard, connecting, maintaining control, and retaining enough performance to never limit your level. A modern, complete, and very effective board for evolving your surf foil in all directions.

OUTLINE

The outline of the Lemon is semi-compact, with a contained overall width and a buoyant middle third. The volume is placed where it really matters: under the chest for paddling, under the front foot for stability, and in the stance area to maintain comfort without creating clutter.

This distribution results in a very balanced board: enough glide to position yourself cleanly, enough compactness to remain lively when pumping, and enough useful width to carve strapless with a natural offset. The Lemon remains readable, performant, and easy to exploit in many configurations.

Nose & Rocker

The round nose of the Lemon retains width at the shoulders to provide paddle support and stability during take-off, then quickly tapers to a lighter point. This maintains useful volume without unnecessarily loading the nose.

The nose bulb compensates for the lowered deck and allows for volume retention at the front, while keeping a stance area closer to the foil. Combined with a fairly flat rocker, it enables the Lemon to make the most of its length, glide smoothly before take-off, and maintain a stable attitude in more committed starts.

DECK

The lowered deck creates a concave cockpit in the stance area. The feet are closer to the foil, making the pressure points more readable and the board gains in precision. You steer more finely, with a true sense of direct connection to the foil.

The available width around the back foot allows you to load the curves with a natural offset, just before the winger. You maintain power in the pressure points without falling into excessive width at the tail. This is what gives the Lemon its balance between committed carving, control, and ease.

HULL

The hull of the Lemon maximises the useful surface around the foil to maintain glide before take-off, during contact phases, and efficiency when pumping. The core of the hull remains flat to offer efficient glide and a sharp response underfoot.

The double concave placed under the nose channels the flow and softens touchdowns. It limits harsh reactions upon water contact and helps the board remain stable when pushing harder/too hard. This hull gives the Lemon true efficiency: it glides, it pops back up, it remains controllable.

TAIL

The tail of the Lemon combines a relatively buoyant squash tail with a pronounced winger at the back foot. The squash tail maintains support, pop, and performance, while the winger significantly reduces the width near the tail to free up the board in turns.

The tail cut of the kick on the hull is set back and verticalised to limit suction when the board touches the water. Combined with the winger and sharp edges, it allows for maintaining speed on the water, easily re-popping, and engaging without fear of a contact stopping the board. The contact is integrated into the normal behaviour of the shape.

RAILS

The rails of the Lemon are soft and subtle at the front, with pronounced chines to handle contacts and maintain a smooth glide. They contribute to the shape's forgiveness when the board touches the water during a turn, a strong landing, take-off, or a low pumping phase.

At the back, the rails become more vertical and release-oriented, with sharp edges to cleanly detach the flow. This evolution of the rails helps maintain speed, reduces touches in committed turns, and ensures precise handling without stiffening the board.

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 lets you adapt the grip surface to your riding style. The front and rear pads cover the main pressure zones while maintaining a radical look and optimized weight. The intermediate boomerang pad, available separately, creates a continuous traction surface for riders seeking additional comfort and deck protection.

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 Lemon EPS Pro is aimed at advanced to pro riders who want a modern, high-performance, and well-balanced surf foil board, capable of carving hard, pumping efficiently, and remaining stable in various conditions.

It suits those who want a semi-compact board: short enough to keep liveliness underfoot, long enough to maintain paddling efficiency, and wide enough in the right areas to offer control without becoming cumbersome. It's a board that appeals to riders who want to progress in all directions: carving, pumping, connections, faster sections, small waves, more substantial waves, clean sessions, or less perfect ones.

The Lemon is not an extreme board in a single category. Its appeal lies in offering a very high level of performance with a predictable behaviour. It allows you to push hard in turns, vary rhythms, connect and surf for a long time without being hindered by the board.

To avoid if....

The Lemon EPS Pro is not the best choice if the goal is to have the most compact board possible, the most radical in pure pumping, or the most extreme in strapless with maximum offset on the back foot.

It is also not made for those who want only easy paddling, very early take-offs, and a lot of length to position far out in the lineup. The Lemon maintains good glide for its format, but it remains a semi-compact performance board: it requires a minimum level, timing, and commitment.

If the rider is primarily looking for a very smooth, very long, very forgiving board oriented towards easy paddling and gentle lines, a more elongated shape will be more suitable. The Lemon is more modern, more lively, more oriented towards carving and performance.

For what?

The Lemon EPS Pro is made to do everything well in surf foil: start cleanly, pump with efficiency, carve hard, connect sections, maintain control, and retain enough performance to never limit your level.

It excels when mixing styles is required. A small mushy wave, a faster section, a foam pushing at take-off, a return to the lineup in pumping, a strong carve, a sharp change of direction: the Lemon maintains a healthy and effective response. Its semi-compact shape allows you to stay lively underfoot without losing the necessary comfort to link waves.

Its rear winger reduces the width near the tail, freeing up turns and limiting touches, while maintaining a squash tail that provides support, pop, and performance. The flat hull around the foil, the double concave at the nose, the recessed kick tail, and the release rails allow water contacts to be integrated into the normal behaviour of the shape. You can push harder without fear of a touch stopping the board.

The Lemon is therefore the board for sessions where you want to surf with rhythm: carve, pump, reconnect, restart, vary supports, and keep a high-performing board in many situations. It offers a more complete, modern, and precise style in surf foil.

Understanding the GONG range

`

What board size?

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

An advanced rider will choose a generous volume that retains enough stability under the chest to succeed in take-offs, maintain comfort while paddling, and fully exploit the shape's performance. This is often the best choice for progressing quickly, surfing for a long time, and maintaining consistency.

An expert or pro rider may opt for a lower volume to gain liveliness, reduce inertia, and maximise sensations underfoot. The Lemon can be surfed very aggressively, but a size too small may lose some of its appeal: its versatility, decent paddling, and comfort in transitions.

Smaller volumes favour reactivity, precision, and committed supports. Intermediate volumes offer the best balance between paddling, carving, pumping, and control. Larger volumes provide more stability, easier take-offs, and more leeway when conditions are soft, irregular, or technical.

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

If hesitating between two sizes, opt for the larger one to gain comfort in paddling, consistency in take-offs, and performance in soft conditions. Choose the smaller one only if the technical level allows compensating for the loss of volume and if the primary goal is maximum liveliness underfoot.

Which foil?

The Lemons 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-end range (which doesn't mean it can't rev up!). It is also the most comfortable for pumping, allowing for numerous connections without burning your thighs.

The Fluid H: the combo of manoeuvrability and speed.
Perfect for turning very tight, going fast, gliding, and having a very responsive 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 unparalleled fluidity. It has a great ability to accelerate on the wave and a very low stall speed, making flying easy in any circumstance.

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

The Sirus: wings with the ultimate ratio 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.
