Technologie Inflatable SUP First

La gamme First est une entrée de gamme économique. A ne pas confondre avec un pack low cost du e-commerce ou du supermarché du coin ! Nous sommes les spécialistes du SUP : le shape et tous les aspects sont étudiés dans les moindres détails. Bien loin d’une planche de supermarché car une planche gonflable a elle aussi besoin de précision et de fiabilité. Quant à la gamme I-SUP, elle correspond au plus haut de gamme disponible sur le marché du gonflable.

Les paddle boards First sont parfaites pour découvrir ce sport et pour une pratique récréative. Mais pas seulement car ce sont aussi des planches aux shapes performants. Dans cette construction, la planche reste légère. Les I-SUP seront idéales si vous souhaitez pratiquer de manière plus intensive ou vous faire plaisir avec le must.

La technologie et certains matériaux pour produire les First et les I-SUP sont différents. Attention, les matériaux utilisés pour les First restent des matériaux de qualité.

Les First sont assemblées avec une couche sur le pont et sur la carène, deux couches sur les rails qui permettent une excellente rigidité. Planche 100% Mirasol Drop Stitch, le meilleur matériau.

• Simple couche 1000D PVC sur le pont et la carène, planche très légère.
• Double couche 1000D PVC sur les rails, planche hyper solide.
• Épaisseur 6″ (15cm), planche très rigide / 4″ (10cm) sur la Junior 8’0 destinée aux plus petits gabarits.
• Pression d’usage : 15 psi. Contrôle qualité en usine à 25 psi.

Inflatable I-SUP Technology - Woven Fusion

Thanks to its high-end Woven Dropstitch Fusion inflatable technology, GONG I-SUP boards are sleek, lightweight, highly rigid, and incredibly durable.

The I-SUPs feature a double thermo-welded layer on the deck and the hull. It is this membrane that gains in lightness while maintaining the rigidity of a double layer.

The dropstitch used inside our I-SUPs is a Woven Dropstitch : it is the best assembly technique of the inflatable world, for best in class performance, rigidity and lightness.

• Woven Dropstitch 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.
• 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.
  

FSP 2X SUP Technology

These boards feature our innovative, high-end FSP 2X technology for the best weight/strength/performance ratio on the market. Quite simply, it's the ultimate in custom vacuum-packed fiberglass sandwich technology, in series...

• 3D shape on modeling software.
• Preshape by numerical control for total reliability.
• Shape control by traditional templates, finishing off the last mm 100% by hand.
• 100 % epoxy resin and EPS foam blank: solid and lightweight.
• Deck, hull, and rails in vacuumed PVC sandwich: incomparable solidity and incredible dynamism.
• Deck: full PVC/fiberglass sandwich composed of a high-density PVC foam core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass and 1 layer of 6oz biaxial fiberglass, fiberglass reinforcements on the sensitive areas.
• Hull: full PVC/fiberglass sandwich composed of a high-density PVC foam core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass and 1 layer of 6oz biaxial fiberglass, fiberglass reinforcements on the sensitive areas.
• Rails: the PVC sandwich structure completely covers the rails: increased structural strength, very good impact resistance (paddle hits).
• Integrated carrying handle in the top PVC Sandwich : limits settling, avoids breakage in the surrounding area.
• Resin tinted hot coat : nobility of the process, weight saving and solidity of the finish.
• Hand-made matt “custom finish” for weight saving and a better glide.
