GONG Surf Chemical PU/EPS

The Shortboard for crazy perfs in our European conditions.

Very nervous and hyper-reactive, this is the everyday surfboard, the one that nails it on short shoulders and passes the sections to hit where the power is. A reactive, efficient Board, which is guided by instinct, perfectly adapted to a modern and dynamic ride!

The Chemical is the perf shaped Shortboard to excel in small to medium and/or imperfect conditions. Its entire shape has been designed to offer maximum acceleration and pivot, two essential factors for boarding in such conditions.

 

To achieve this result, L’Ours has done a lot of work on the hull: a pronounced single concave under the front foot, then double concave between the supports, to finish in a V shape under the rear foot. Rail to rail is instinctive, magical, the driving is hyper precise, its speed and handling are explosive. Its square tail allows you to glide immediately and obtain excellent acceleration. In a short distance and very quickly, you reach the speed you need to radically complete every move.

GONG Surf Evolt PU/EPS

The Evolt is the jacked up version of the Chemical to perform in Competition. All its Shape has been designed to offer incredible perfs in “small conditions”. Direct descendant of the Chemical which excels already in this discipline, the Evolt has a bit more width with the lateral Fins and the tail boosting its agility and its acceleration, two essential criteria for throwing down sick moves.

To accentuate even more its radical side, the work on the hull offer a very fast rail-to-rail thanks to the very pronounced concave under the front foot and then double concave in front of the lateral, to finish in a marked V at the back foot. This heavily marked V gives an optimum water outlet to put a max of spray after each manoeuvre

GONG Surf Alu PU/EPS

The Alu is ideal in mediocre waves and has the potential to create a very modern and aerial surf.

L’Ours proposes a new vision of the Alu to modernize this Board and make it even more efficient in its core program : the everyday waves.

 

For rowing comfort, we kept its front section with a little thickness, ideal to climb up to the peak quickly and ensure good take-off. On the other hand, the big evolution of this Shape is in its tail. L’Ours equipped it with a wide diamond tail that propels it to Mach II at the first impulse. To skill-fully balance this strong presence of the rear foot, wingers just at the water release of the lateral Fins allowing the tail to be set free at the end of the curves. The hull work is also designed for water release that make it easier to get on the rail. This new Alu is mounted in Quad, so that the two rear Fins provide a clean and healthy support grip to push your moves to their limit even in soft waves.
