GEAR : feedback 10' CM !!!

Popy shares with us her impressions about the 10′ couine Marie :
“Finally, I received as expected and in my timing my CM (hats off to efficiency GONG staff that provides millimeter monitoring issues that may arise.)
At unpacking, it is the slap, feels its quality gear but not toys. It’s serious, scare about the manometer that did not move at the first stroke pump, when I reached 15 psi, pump request hard anyway, I ask myself if the board would not blow me up at the head. Timing respected within 5 mins cushy. Now, that the only thing left to do was to try this famous inflatable SUP, I was really afraid of being disappointed despite the laudatory reviews from most users ..
I realized my test on a water aera like lake with slight breeze and a light chop. (nothing to compare with ocean chop). My only comparison this is the SUP 10′ rigid from another brand, I never touched other SUP.
I will be brief, this board is a revelation. This 10′ SUP has a broad base ensuring a big stability and erasing all the foot placement errors I made (I surf bases but little practice), I did not fall into the water. (Against 10 times in 5 minutes on the other board from another brand ..). In a few strokes of the oars, the board reached a crazy cruising speed without too much tiredness, it will run without effort, it’s playful, it’s lively, in short a rough diamond. I stayed on for 1h30 without any tiredness and I wanted more. My little 4 year old child is mounted on, the board did not complained, stability at the top.
Remains only to confirm my feeling on the ocean, my real goal of this summer and it’s all good for the CM. 5/5.
Bravo to the shaper, and GONG staff, I am not disappointed of the journey. I will follow you on your next models, I already have 5 people who want to take my board for test it this summer ….” Shaper : Patrice Guénolé et sa GONG SUP 10′ Couine Marie inflatable.
