This surface, combined with significant volume and its substantial round nose, makes the Winstone a top performer in noserides and movement on sluggish waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis very wide tail holds a large volume of water when positioned on the nose, providing a\u0026nbsp;powerful leverage effect\u0026nbsp;that automatically stabilizes and lifts the board's nose. This places the rider in perfect balance, naturally maintaining the trajectory on or above the trim line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe\u0026nbsp;much steeper and more pronounced rear rocker\u0026nbsp;is the defining element of this shape. It helps temper the board’s natural speed to avoid prematurely escaping the pocket of the wave. We want time on the nose, so a board that doesn’t go for the shoulder the moment we walk forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe\u0026nbsp;pronounced rocker line in the rear third\u0026nbsp;creates a rail curve that will naturally bring the board back into the wave, enhancing nose performance. This tail rocker also boosts maneuverability and facilitates turning, despite the board’s large surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Winstone’s rails, true to traditional 50-50s, offer extremely smooth and fluid glide. However, the tail is sharp with hard rails at the very back to preserve glide despite the significant kick tail, and to radicalize committed turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EPS Pro carbon technology further sets the Winstone apart. This innovative construction gives it unparalleled responsiveness in this longboard category. Contrary to popular belief, this rigidity provides consistent shape retention under load, ensuring refined handling and increased precision, enriching every movement on the board and maximizing time on the nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Winstone paddles early and constantly maintains a perfect flow. This board is designed for surfers seeking the ultimate noserider, with extreme and extended nose postures, turning sluggish waves into memorable sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether for endless hang tens or simply enjoying the unmatched sensation of perfect balance on the nose, the Winstone embodies the pinnacle of noseriders for soft waves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GONG","offers":[{"title":"EPS \/ 9'4","offer_id":55477280342391,"sku":"GON25BOASURWINEPSWHI-94","price":766.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EPS \/ 9'8","offer_id":55477280375159,"sku":"GON25BOASURWINEPSWHI-98","price":778.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EPS \/ 10'2","offer_id":55477280309623,"sku":"GON25BOASURWINEPSWHI-102","price":802.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/5975\/5071\/files\/00-25-1500-SURF-LONGBOARD_EPS-WINSTONE-9_8-FOCUS-GONGSURF-TB.png?v=1757067922","url":"https:\/\/www.gong-galaxy.com\/en-us\/products\/gong-surf-winstone-eps","provider":"GONG Galaxy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
