GEAR: GONG PADDLE CARBON PRO !!!

Here is the GONG paddle offering the best level of performance.

 

Built 100% from Japanese Prepreg Carbon Fiber and assembled with epoxy resin, this top of the range Paddle with a record weight, offers dynamic qualities and an ultra versatile shape that works as well in surfing as it does when racing.

 

For a high tempo or race ride, this Carbon PRO will allow you to increase your performance. The intrado is flat with a light V and catches little water, but the rocker of this canopy is very curved at the head. The catch power is excellent. It’s a Paddle that accelerates very fast, from the first stroke.

Note that after one hour of rowing with a Carbon Pro Paddle, you will have carried three times less weight than a paddler equipped with an Alu Paddle will have to carry. It is easy to understand the impact this weight can have on the performance and joint health of the paddler. In addition to taking care of your shoulders, this paddle offers you a better transmission of power and therefore better efficiency, the interest is thus doubled.

  In surfing, this blade has a lot of glide thanks to its specific shape at the head. It’s very close to the shape of a Board with a good rocker. The water escapes quickly and cleanly. You never feel pulled back on the Paddle. The Paddle does not bounce on the water. In addition, the shape has no ridges. Intrado and extrado are both ultra fluid. In fact, when the blade is immersed in the water while surfing, it keeps all its glide. It offers a very strong fluidity on both sides and from all angles. This is important for surfing and for all moves with a switched Paddle. It is the guarantee of a very high level surfing.

 

Available in two models:

• the 7″ model is recommended for lighter riders (under 85kg), and for riders who wish to row with frequency.
• the 8″ model, very powerful, is recommended for larger riders from 85/90kg, who like to row with serious power.

These Paddles are in stock now for 199€.
