{"product_id":"gong-surf-foil-board-matata-fsp-pro-26","title":"GONG | Surf Foil Board Matata FSP Pro","description":"\u003ch4\u003eProgram\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact full sandwich foil surfboard with straps to maximise manoeuvrability, dynamism, and pumping, especially in sluggish waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePresentation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Matata FSP Pro encapsulates the essence of modern foil surfing in a compact, responsive, and ultra-lively shape, with technology and equipment designed to push this shape to its limits. A board made to maximise the connection with the foil, trigger every movement instantly, and transform the slightest impulse into a direct response underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its perfectly balanced volume-to-length ratio, the Matata is the most compact in the foil surf range. Its short outline minimises inertia and completely frees up the ride. Weight shifts become quicker, turns more instinctive, and the board responds immediately to every intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compactness does not come at the expense of take-off. Its width and condensed volume provide stability under the chest, support when paddling, and very effective pop at take-off. For its length, the Matata starts early, even in medium or low-power waves, with an easy pop up thanks to its wide and voluminous tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts shape excels in small conditions and mushy waves, where pumping, efficiency, and precision make all the difference. The Matata allows for easy relaunching, connecting sections with less effort, and maintaining a fluid rhythm between each shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe overall width also facilitates more committed take-offs, especially in foam or very late. Short, wide, and easy to hold, the Matata allows for control at the start, managing potential rebounds, and positioning perfectly in tight situations without the bulk of a longer board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recessed deck brings the feet closer to the foil to enhance control and feel. Strapless, the significant width at the rear foot allows for a marked offset position, ideal for pushing hard in turns with precise, powerful, and committed riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the FSP Pro version, dedicated strap inserts for foil surf stance add a huge level of control. It's no longer just about pushing on the board: you can also pull on the straps, lock in your stance, charge harder, control landings, and open up a real aerial repertoire. Backflips, 360s, airs, committed re-entries: the manoeuvre potential changes dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strapped stance is asymmetrical, regular or goofy, with two straps provided. The rear foot is positioned firmly toeside to maintain offset and power, while the front foot angled at 30° provides a natural and very solid support. The front inserts of the rear strap are slightly closer to the rail to create an open angle forward, facilitating surf stances, knee tucks, and the entry\/exit of the rear foot during cool or pumping phases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder the board, the shorter, vertical kick tail limits drag when a touch occurs. The Matata quickly releases from the water and facilitates re-pop, allowing you to regain flight easily and chain the next manoeuvre without breaking rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ability to glide cleanly on contact also changes the level of commitment. A touch, an imperfect landing, or a very low stance does not immediately result in a penalty. The board continues, glides, releases, and allows you to keep going without fearing a touch that sticks to the water indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed in FSP Pro full sandwich carbon\/glass under vacuum with high-density PVC foam on the deck, hull, and rails, the Matata gains in rigidity, responsiveness, and durability. This construction is made to withstand the demands of strapped use, landings, aerial tricks, and towing, where straps and structural solidity become essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts new 5 mm Ridge Traction Pad provides very secure grip on essential support areas, with firm traction and real comfort underfoot. The Matata comes with a front pad and a tail pad glued on, while the intermediate boomerang pad, offered separately, allows these two areas to be connected for those who want a continuous grip surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, its compactness is also a real advantage in everyday life. In a trunk, on a plane, on a boat, or on a jet, the Matata is easy to transport. It's not the main argument of its shape, but it's often this kind of detail that makes a board as easy to use as it is effective on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GONG","offers":[{"title":"FSP PRO \/ 4'3 \/ Black","offer_id":57140150010231,"sku":"GON26BOASFFMATPROBGR-43","price":826.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FSP PRO \/ 4'4 \/ Black","offer_id":57140150042999,"sku":"GON26BOASFFMATPROBGR-44","price":826.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FSP PRO \/ 4'5 \/ Black","offer_id":57140150075767,"sku":"GON26BOASFFMATPROBGR-45","price":826.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FSP PRO \/ 4'6 \/ Black","offer_id":57140150108535,"sku":"GON26BOASFFMATPROBGR-46","price":826.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FSP PRO \/ 4'7 \/ Black","offer_id":57140150141303,"sku":"GON26BOASFFMATPROBGR-47","price":826.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FSP PRO \/ 4'8 \/ Black","offer_id":57140150174071,"sku":"GON26BOASFFMATPROBGR-48","price":826.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FSP PRO \/ 4'9 \/ Black","offer_id":57140150206839,"sku":"GON26BOASFFMATPROBGR-49","price":826.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/5975\/5071\/files\/00-1500-26-SURF_FOIL-BOARDS-FSP_PRO-MATATA-GONGSURFOIL-TB.png?v=1782133656","url":"https:\/\/www.gong-galaxy.com\/en-us\/products\/gong-surf-foil-board-matata-fsp-pro-26","provider":"GONG Galaxy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
