“Hello,
While doing a little sorting out of my stuff, it was to my pleasant surprise to find that my very first kite board (a directional tri-fins 7 ‘) was actually a Gong (shaped by Fred Meunier)!
I had absolutely not made the link between this brand that I particularly appreciate today and this board that I had long forgotten. For the record, I bought the board in 2000 with a Kite from a competing brand in 2 lines (and yes …)
I was able to take my first steps with this gear without problem and the board showed its limits only when I started to jump. One of the three fin boxes collapsed after a somewhat violent reception.
In any case it makes me happy to know that I was actually owner (without knowing it) of a GONG board for almost 20 years and I see that the brand already had the taste of decorations and strange logos.”
