GONG offers such a vast choice in production models that any rider could find a board that’s virtually custom made for him.
But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. The hidden part is that GONG offers vacuum technologies as a standard when it’s usually only used for the most advanced customs: something no other brand offers on this scale. Unparalleled strength and performance on the market, tested in our workshop in France, at prices that only GONG can hold.
We believe it’s the quality of our boards that makes the difference, not marketing.
L’Ours has shaped 31 new models to further boost their performance and reassert their programs:
The tail of the Lethal is a benchmark in terms of hydrodynamics. It lets the water captured by the board flow without any restraint or disturbance.
Applied to all of our shapes, this “magic” tail gives you pop and super early take-off, while adding stability at standstill.
With as result more than 30% less drag in pre-flight sailing, you take off 2 knots earlier.
Each board also benefits from specific adjustments.
For our boards in WOOD 2X and FSP 2X technologies:
The Lance: undisputed best seller, its width is the key to your success in learning wing foiling! Ultra stable when at standstill, it remains manoeuvrable in flight thanks to a very compact shape. Its double concave hull at the nose guides the board and dampens contacts with the water.
The Zuma: simplicity and versatility! The very wide square tail and its relative length are a real treat for the take-off in wing or SUP foiling. It gains in performance and ease, especially in the low range.
These two boards are equipped with the AntiDriftSystem box. This box under the nose allows you to clip an FCSII fin for more stability and a better heading in pre-flight saling. It facilitates paddling in SUP foiling by eliminating the row effect.
The Mob 2Taste: our 3in1 for SUP, wing, and SUP foiling! New shape with a swallow tail, wingers, and a round nose. It offers even more maneuverability and versatility plus a look to die for!
Our boards in FSP PRO technology
The Flint: its compact shape with wide tips and a relaxed rocker make it the ideal light wind board, ultra manoeuvrable in flight and stable at standstill. Perfect for SUP foiling pros for the same reasons.
The Kube: it gains in length to take off immediately and nail every landing. Its compactness optimizes rotations, tricks and nervousness. Freestyle above all!
The Mint: less width and our “magic” tail for ultra-smooth take-offs and pushing performance to the max. The versatile board that performs in all programs.
The Lemon: its narrower shape increases its performance tenfold while offering more comfort than a Lethal at standstill. This is the must of wave-riding and tricks in an accessible shape.
The Lethal: available with a new large size in 5’6 for very light conditions or large riders, it retains an uncompromising shape dedicated to hardcore wave-riding!
On the techno side, 3 rooms, 3 atmospheres!
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.
WOOD 2X techno
Our entry-level construction is without blushing, comparable (if not better) than most of the high-end boards on the market sold at high prices …
The board is fully reinforced with a fiberglass lamination with a vacuum bonded wood sandwich and a super strong laminated biaxial fiberglass. Fully, that is to say the deck, the bottom but also the rails, unlike many “prestige” brands.
And the deck benefits from an additional reinforcement in a 3mm high density PVC (Airex) sandwich which limits all impacts, a guarantee of durability.
It is the perfect techno for first-time wing buyers, who are looking for an unbeatable price / solidity combo.
FSP 2X techno
The FSP (Full Sandwich PVC): the techno that positions GONG boards in another world.
An exclusivity on the wing boards market, which comes directly to us from high-end construction techniques.
Unlike other wing board constructions on the market, our FSP boards are fully vacuum “shelled” with an extremely strong PVC (Airex) foam sandwich with a density of 80kg / m2. This density is 3 times greater than that of our competitors’ EPS foam blanks! Here again, we cover the top, the bottom but also the rails with a super strong 3mm shell! It’s 5 to 10 times thicker than the competition !!! Knees, paddles, harness hooks, the heart of your board is fully protected by a resistant and waterproof sandwich.
In FSP 2X, this sandwich is covered with a layer of biaxial fiberglass, much stronger than conventional fibers with its large fibers with a “reinforced concrete” effect.
The whole is of unparalleled durability and dynamism. It is the ultra solid techno that allows you to progress serenely on our Lance, Zuma and MOB.
Yet our FSP 2X boards remain at record weights.
First, because they are handmade using our French high-end manufacturing methods for custom boards.
Then because this super strong “shell” allows us to lighten the core of our boards to give them all the liveliness you need.
FSP PRO Techno
It’s game over: this is the ultimate techno that adds up the best of all constructions for crazy performances.
It enjoys our full sandwich in PVC (Airex) 80kg / m2 FSP, which is completely covered with carbon fiber.
The performance gain is crazy: the board is solid, rigid, ultra light and responsive!
Common point on all our technos for the foil box
The two US foil boxes have become the standard. But at GONG they are installed in a thick block of high density and waterproof PVC (Airex) of 80 kg / m3; and supported by a skeleton in high density PVC (Airex) foam and laminated in fiberglass, crossing the EPS foam blank from the bottom to the top part of the sandwich to transmit the forces to the deck, and therefore to your feet. The whole is reinforced on the hull with multiple layers of carbon. No risk of water intake in the EPS foam blank or crushing the foam blank, the cohesion of the whole is durable and total for an immediate response of the foil underfoot. It is not the foam blank that takes in the efforts between the foil and your feet: you are in direct contact! And if you hit a rock at full speed and damage a box, the board remains waterproof. Repair is simple and durable thanks to this PVC base.
We invite you to analyze in detail your future board on the new 3D module of our product sheets.
Buy as an informed consumer!
In terms of accessories, everything is there!
5mm deck pad, handle on the hull with integrated automatic vent screw, multi-position footstrap inserts, FCSII fin box and fin, double US rails for the foil compatible with market standards …
The front footstraps join together to become a central V-shaped footstrap. The foot is now centered. The position is natural and the rail to rail is instinctive. Without this innovation, you must constantly compensate for a support of the front foot eccentric of several centimeters, by shifting your back foot or by pressing non stop on your toes. It’s horrible and at GONG it’s ancient history 😉
Small clarification: the set of footstraps and its screws, worth 30€ are offered with the board 😉 And again this is not the case with everyone …
Add to this that we deliver our boards to you in eco-responsible and recyclable packaging and you have the best range in the world at your disposal.
