GEAR : feedback 9' CM !!!

Raph shares with us on the forum his impressions about the 9′ Couine Marie :
“”Hello,
After seeking advice on the forum, I ordered the CM 9′ Monday morning, received this morning, two days later. The GONG service is still effective.
The first unpacking impressions : -Bag On top, the class, I love rubbers for the pump. Really big improvement in quality. -The board is beautiful, much more beautiful with the new pad. The finish of the board is better, plastic is different compared to my 12’6 CM.
Inflation : -The Pump is much better than the older, faster, scales well pressure (that’s normal), but especially the new gasket that holds well the pressure that blew me away. -The Board is really concrete to the touch. Test on water on the flat : -I Taken primarily for surfing and drives on the flat when I have no time. It is in this configuration that I tested. -It Fits very well with what I expected. The board is stable as soon as one is in the middle (more stable than CM 12’6). More row but that’s normal, I can refine my rowing technique. . About speed, it goes slower, obviously, but that’s normal.
I can not wait to try it out to sea to test it in its dedicated program.
The slight rise in prices due to the euro-dollar parity is largely offset by the significant increase in the quality of the proposed set. The value for money is simply unbeatable. Great job for the team. In the spirit of the forum, I would not make a comparison with the boards of the other well known brands and more expensive, but it would be crazy to spend more.” SUPer feedback : Raph en GONG SUP 9′ Couine Marie inflatable.
