FORUM : 2019 SUP range !!!

The Cloud is gonna disappeared after many years in the catalog. Definitely one of my favorite boards, especially the first shape in 2012. Now welcome the Karmen which replace this Cloud. This Karmen is easier, more maneuverable, more modern.
Now available in the PRO technology, she will be soon announced in a new FSP Technology, see the preview below. The FSP is a real revolution in the SUP market: quality-price ratio unknown today. As the SUP world matures, the American market is starving, so the Chinese factories, powerful in the phase of SUP rising, stick the tongue out. More than 1 out of 2 in the last two years. It pulls back to a degree of realism and modesty that open the debate… In the same time, we doubled our sales in Europe, and now we expend it to the world. Our strong hold is each day more significant thanks to you. So we can now set up new technologies that Chinese didn’t want to produce ‘cos too complicated for them. It require a lot of equipment and skills. But Chinese have always count on men to make the job and reject machines. That is no longer the case and this changement is your advantage, by setting up production a level above than before. In other words, we mass produce quality that Béryl and me produce in La Baule.
Obviously, serial production requires standardisation that increase slightly the weight and soften the lines to make them easily reproducible. But we are very very close to a high end custom. No molding, no gel coat, but full PVC.
You have known the Higteck in 2008, well we start again with this technology used for the best windsurfing floats, but without molding that freeze the shapes for long time. Moreover, there was a technical problem by using molding, that it was a parting surface that we have to cover up with gel coat. This fragility point has been evaded with a pure vacuum PVC sandwich. This is the technology that we are pushing in serial production. More joint, less gel coat, a high vacuum compression for compacting layers, and a strength that is completely beyond compare, for a stunning weight. Our first Mob, (on the picture below), weigh about 7 kg, and are indestructible.
The gain in dynamism on the water is crazy. And the job done on the design is awesome. So be prepared to a big change on line in the coming days… Thank you to everyone that allow us to make this big step.” Shaper : Patrice Guénolé et ses nouvelles GONG SUP FSP 2019.
