After being the first to offer a truly high-performance inflatable foil board with the HIPE, we now offer a complete range to get you started, progress and perform in all conditions!
Wingfoiler: Mathieu, GONG Team Rider, with the HIPE Pro pack.
The unique concept of the HIPE offered wing foilers a simple, practical alternative to rigid boards without compromising on performance, durability or safety. This is the key to its immense success: being both practical on land and high-performance in the water.
The effectiveness of the concept has given rise to a demand for more specialized shapes than the highly versatile original HIPE. Today, we offer you no less than 6 models in multiple sizes:
The HIPE First to discover wing foil and progress easily.
The HIPE Free Fly for waveriding, carving and strapless freeriding.
The HIPE Perf to perform in all programs without sacrificing comfort.
The HIPE Pro for top performance in an inflatable format.
The HIPE Cruzader Strapless to take off in ultra-light winds in wing foil or SUP foil on the flat or in the waves.
The HIPE Cruzader Strapped is the strapped version of the HIPE Cruzader for those who want to send it in wing foil.
6 inflatable boards for 6 programs to match your level, conditions or simply your desires:
Why does the HIPE work better than its imitations?
The technical solution proposed by GONG to achieve the performance of a full rigid board is the use of a carbon ICS plate under our Woven Drop Stitch technology. In other words, it’s the combination of our expertise in composites and our extensive experience in inflatable technology. This combination ensures rigidity, lightness and strength.
The role of the ICS plate, which is a gem of technological know-how, and which unlike poor copies covers the rider’s entire stance, is to eliminate any twist or flex in the inflatable structure around the foil box.
The result is a board whose exemplary rigidity has been confirmed by numerous user feedbacks. No energy is wasted on the water, as the board reacts perfectly to every touch. You forget that you’re on an inflatable board when you’re on the water, but not when you have to put it away in your trunk – it’s amazing!
