It is essential to understand the constructions offered when you buy a board.
Aesthetics and programs are important, but construction is key! And very often, it is the obstacle course to find this information in between the marketing twists and turns …
At GONG, we are committed to presenting to you in all transparency what lies beneath the final paint layer, without blah blah.
This full PVC sandwich is covered with full carbon for a hyper dynamic whole.
The ultimate technology that adds up the best of all constructions for crazy performances.
The performance gain is crazy: the board is solid, rigid, ultra light and responsive!
3D shapes on modeling software.
Preshape by numerical control for total reliability.
Shape control by traditional templates, finishing off the last mm 100% by hand.
Epoxy resin and EPS foam blank: solid and lightweight.
Deck, hull, and rails in vacuumed PVC sandwich: incomparable strength and incredible dynamism.
Deck: Full sandwich with a PVC core material, on a layer of 4oz fiberglass for flexibility, and one layer of 6oz carbon fiber on the outside. Additionally, there are fiberglass reinforcements in sensitive areas.
Hull: Full sandwich with a PVC core material, on a layer of 4oz fiberglass for flexibility, and one layer of 6oz carbon fiber on the outside. Additionally, there are fiberglass reinforcements in sensitive areas.
Specific foil reinforcements: high-density PVC block housing the two US rail boxes. Four layers of carbon cover the boxes. Laminated PVC slats connect the reinforcement to the deck for maximum durability.
Laminated PVC stringers connect the foil box reinforcement to the deck for durability.
Carbon reinforcements at the strap inserts, under the heels, and the footstep area.
Rails: the PVC sandwich structure completely covers the rails: increased structural strength, very good shock resistance (paddle, knee and harness hook impacts).
Carrying handle integrated into a PVC block : limits infiltration, avoids breakage in the surroundings.
Hot coat with integrated tinted resin: nobility of the process, weight reduction and solidity of the finish.
