Kite boards - Twin tips

The GONG twin tip range for kiteboarding is the ultimate choice for riders seeking performance, comfort, and versatility.

Whether you are a beginner, freerider, passionate freestyler, going full send in big air, or aiming for competition in wakestyle, our twin tips meet every program with surgical precision.

Built with high-quality materials in the best factory in Europe, benefiting from our long experience in shaping and composites since 1996, our twin tips offer unbeatable value for money thanks to our direct sales model.

Expect instant responsiveness, impressive durability, and unprecedented ease of progression.

Born from over two decades of development and testing, our twin tips are the result of relentless R&D. As early as the late 90s, we were already shaping custom kiteboards in our workshop, combining the legacy of surfing with the rise of kiteboarding.

Over time, our feedback, prototypes, and interactions with riders from around the world have allowed us to evolve our shapes, materials, and assembly techniques.

Today, the support our community has given us year after year enables us to launch our series twin tips, maintaining the quality standards and precision of our expertise, offering every rider a high-level, refined, versatile, and reliable board.

• Tailored flex and responsiveness: thanks to ultra-careful construction (wood core, fiberglass or carbon laminates, fiberglass reinforcements), our twin tips ensure an immediate return of your inputs, offering precise handling.

• Comfort and control: the balanced outlines, channels under the hull, and flex distribution provide excellent grip, smooth passage through chop, and a soft, stable ride, even for the less experienced.

• Strength and durability: our twin tips are designed to absorb shocks, withstand repeated impacts from landings, and maintain performance over the long term.

• Technology validated by the pros: our team riders and ambassadors test these boards in all conditions, from Brittany to Tarifa, the Polynesian lagoons to the spots in Cape Verde, as well as multi-terrain sessions across Europe. The result? Boards tested and validated on all terrains.

• Value for money: Direct sales allow us to offer premium twin tips made in Europe at very competitive prices, making kiteboarding more accessible than ever.

Beginner: Learning kiteboarding well

• Sway Wood Flex: Ideal for beginners, its soft flex and excellent grip make it easier to go upwind. It's ultra-comfortable, handles chop without shaking, and forgives mistakes. You progress quickly and calmly from the first sessions.

Freeride: Glide everywhere, smooth transitions, stress-free enjoyment

• Sway Wood Flex: In freeride, it's all about versatility. Easy and smooth, it turns every session into a pleasant ride.
• Steez Wood Flex: To go further, the Steez Wood Flex offers more dynamism and a stronger pop. Performance improves while maintaining impeccable comfort.

Freestyle: Sending tricks, pop, and control in the air

• Sizzle Carbon Pro: Dedicated to freestyle/wakestyle, its explosive pop, grip, and stability allow for strong unhooked moves. It’s the best for committed moves and flat.
• Steez Carbon Pro: Freestyle + big air, this carbon board combines lightness, responsiveness, and comfort. Ideal for working on jumps, rotations, boards-off, while keeping some versatility.
• Steez Wood Flex: Less radical, but still an excellent option to get started with freestyle and progress without sacrificing comfort.

Big air: Go high, push the adrenaline

• Steez Carbon Pro: Explosive pop, rigidity, lightness. Perfect for going very high, managing speed, and absorbing landings. A must for big air.
  Steez Wood Flex: Less aggressive, but still offers a great compromise for getting into big air while remaining comfortable.

Waveriding: Surfing with a twin tip?

• Twin tips aren’t designed to surf like a directional board. You can have fun in small waves with the Sway or Steez, but it will be limited. For true waveriding, a dedicated directional board is better, as it provides more flotation for a wave-powered glide, rather than relying on the kite.

Foil: Twin tip and foil?

• A twin tip is not compatible with a foil. Foiling requires a dedicated board with specific foot straps. The twin tip will help you master the basics of kiteboarding before moving on to foiling.

No race on twin tip?

• Kite racing is usually done with other boards (especially foil). Our twin tips are designed to excel in freeride, freestyle, and big air, but not for pure racing.

Our twin tips are manufactured in the best factory in Europe with:

• Paulownia wood core: Lightweight, strong, for natural flex.

• Biaxial fiberglass layup, and depending on the model, biaxial carbon: For a perfect mix of responsiveness, strength, and pop.

• French bio-sourced resin: Better for the environment, excellent material cohesion.

• Scratch-resistant finish: To maintain the beauty and durability of your board.

• Rails, channels, inserts: Everything is optimized for grip, comfort, and longevity.

Our twin tips are delivered without accessories, but you can add:

• Ergonomic pads and straps: Adjustable, comfortable, providing ideal support.

• G10 or injected fins: For optimal grip, tailored to your style.

• Padded carry handle: Convenient on the beach and for board-off tricks.

This modularity allows you to perfectly customize your board to your preferences."

Our R&D continues to refine:

• Optimized flex: More precise distribution for maximum comfort and better pop.

• Refined channels: Improve grip, planing performance, and stability.

• Balanced outline: Increased maneuverability, smooth transitions, and perfect control even in choppy conditions.

These developments ensure that our twin tips remain at the cutting edge of technology.

• Sway Wood Flex: "Perfect for beginners, I progressed super fast, it's smooth, stable, a real delight."

• Steez Wood Flex: "An excellent mix of comfort and performance, perfect for freeride and my first tricks."
