The best of GONG on inflatable boards

Inflatable COUINE MARIE Technology


Couine Marie boards
 have a double thermo welded layer on the deck, hull and rails. It makes them even more rigid while still being very light.

The dropstitch used inside Couine Marie board is a Woven Dropstitch : it is the best assembly technique of the inflatable world, for best in class performance, rigidity and lightness.

  • Woven Dropstitch Double Layer Welded technology, the best compromise between weight/stiffness/strength. Combining our historical Double Layer Welded technology with the new Woven Dropstitch, this technology is by far the most reliable, lightest and stiffest.
  • Weight savings of around 20% compared to the classic Double Layer (no glue between the 2 welded PVC layers).
  • Rigidity gain of 30% compared to standard technology.
  • Strength gain: twice as thick as standard technology.
  • Double layer of PVC on the rails.
  • Triple layer central stringer on deck and hull for maximum rigidity and reduced vibration.
  • Premium Woven Dropstitch: the slightest irregularity is refused and the batch is resold to low cost factories.
  • High density Dropstitch Woven: with more threads per square meter than a basic Woven, it resists much higher pressures, lasts much longer, and does not present a risk of explosion.
  • Working pressure: 15 PSI. Our Stand Up Paddle Boards are perfectly rigid at 15 PSI. There is no need to overinflate them, but you can mount them at 20 PSI without any problem.
  • Two-year Warranty on all our Inflatable Boards.
  • We keep in stock all the elements that make up your Board because we are manufacturers. So, you can easily repair them and make them last for more than ten years. It’s as simple as repairing a bicycle wheel.

Inflatable FIRST Technology

The First range is an economical entry-level option. Don't mistake it for a low-cost pack from the corner supermarket! We are SUP specialists: the shape and all aspects are meticulously studied. Far from a supermarket board because an inflatable board also requires precision and reliability. As for the I-SUP range, it represents the highest quality available on the market of inflatable SUP boards.

The First boards are perfect for discovering the sport and for recreational use. But not only that, they also feature high-performance shapes. The I-SUP boards are ideal if you want to practice more intensively or indulge in the best.

The technology and certain materials used to produce the First and I-SUP boards differ. However, please note that the materials used for the First boards are still of high quality.

  • Board 100% Mirasol Dropstitch, the best material.
  • Simple layered 1000D PVC on the top and the bottom, very light weight.
  • Double layered 1000D PVC on the rails, super solid board.
  • Thickness 6″ (15cm) for the best stiffness
  • Air Pressure: 15 psi. Factory controlled at 25 psi
