GEAR : THE alternative !!!

This is no less than a revolution called : THE Alternative. We are “all” used to manage more volume on surf since the stand up paddle arrival. We have no complex with that and we recognize some benefits. In the same time, we face some limits on SUP : – choppy and windy conditions are not that funny. – some guys doesn’t like you as soon as you have a paddle in hands. – sometime you want to feel the water more than just on you feet. But we all know that nothing is more efficient than a longboardSUP on small waves. So I did THE Alternative : 30% more intelligent volume on 4 well known GONG shapes. Benefits : – wind is a problem solved. – you paddle faster than a SUP ! so you catch what you want. – THE Alternative are a little wider, so super easy and unbeatable for noserides. – people are friendly again, of course if you don’t catch too much waves 😉 WARNING : they are NOT boards for big guys nor beginners. Of course they can use them, but it is not their own solution. It is the solution to SUP limits we all feel. I am working since a long time on these boards, remember the IT. But I found the solution recently thanks to Justin Becret arrival on the Team. Of course he is not on these boards but what he asked me on his own 5’9 rad shortboards gave me the trick I was missing for years. Now it is ON !!! We all know how to push hard on the board, on big waves, on a kite, or on a SUP or a windsurf board. The feeling when we surf a “classic” modern longboard is something is missing. You must be careful on your steps and pressure because it is actually a low volume… This is frustrating on small waves. What I did was to add a little width, 30% more volume, and a very special bottom and rails. The result is like foil : you can drive it super hard, push on your legs even on very small waves. So you are better and faster. And the feeling is amazing. You will find on line these 4 THE Alternative : – +30% of intelligent volume. – EPS blank to stay light and responsive. – 3 wood stringers for a pure longboard design and strength. – Full FCS2 box for high performances. Now guys you can play hard on small waves, without a paddle like many haters were expectiing, or maybe not ahahaha… Enjoy Shaper : Patrice Guénolé aka l’Ours et ses longboards de 90L magiques et plus.
