WCKF Surf Technology
High Quality Materials : EPS Blank, Epoxy Resin, Fiber Glass, PVC reinforcements, 0,6mm wood veneer, Patented FCS2 Boxes.
This technology is rock solid, performant and at a great price. Beautiful construction with modern composites.
Technical details :
- Board, 100% Epoxy over EPS foam : solid and light.
- Deck and Hull in vacuumed wood sandwich : the wood is more resistant to shocks and absorbs the vibration.
- Deck detail : 3 layers of Fiber Glass + wood core + reinforcements at sensitive points.
- Hull detail : 2 layers of Fiber Glass + wood core + reinforcements at sensitive points like the Fin Boxes.
- Rails : Full Kevlar Belt plus 5 layers of Fiber Glass overlay on the rails.
- Reinforced Boxes and glued into a high density PVC foam with layers of FCV over them.
- Pre-shape by digital control, and shape controlled by traditional templates, 100% Hand Finished.
- Semi mat Pro Finish for a better glide, less sensitive to scratching.
- This WoodCKFusion Techno is easily repairable, we have all the components necessary.
- The WoodCKFusion is light, dynamic and remains supple and diminishes rebounding in the water.
The pros of the GONG WoodCKFusion Technology :
- Esthetic, the result is very pretty.
- Solid : serious resistance against dings.
- Supple and Dynamic at the same time.
- Durable : 100% repairable.
- More Green and Eco friendly, the use of wood over PVC for the sandwich.
We’ve been producing GONG Boards with this type of technology since our first GONG Board in 1996.
With over 15 years of experience with this technology, we have been able to perfectly master all the components and its assembly. Choosing the good foam blanks. Stratification with no bubbles and with perfect cohesion to the foam and remaining ultra-light. Gluing the wood veneer as well as the Kevlar Belt by vacuum. Re-stratifying over this layer for the sandwich effect. Obtaining perfect water resistance.
And finalizing with a finish that makes it beautiful. That’s our Savoir Faire, and made better year after year.
Our factories work according to our specifications and it’s Patrice Guenole, our Shaper, that forms those who intervene in the fabrication of our technology.
It is no small task and is expensive but is the best way to insure and guarantee the best quality for the buyer. Our returns statistics are incredibly low and the testimonials on our Forum are witness to the irreproachable quality of our Boards.
And yes, our technology takes into consideration our concern with the planet.
We limit the contribution of excess material to each phase by learning advanced techniques to the workers. Thus, we save expensive and polluting material. But above all we reduce enormously the sanding phases. That means less fine dust in the air and more safety for the workers.
In addition, we use the best components to guarantee your board a maximum life. Fewer broken Boards = less waste and unnecessary production.
Leftover scraps of our fiber are used for box reinforcements. It is almost zero waste on this expensive and polluting material to produce.
The leftover foam is totally recycled. The large pieces are recycled to make new Blanks. Bubbles and shavings form the shapes are used by manufacturers who use it to padding in cushions for example.
At every stage of production, we have the permanent concern to save our planet.
Be careful not to confuse this technology with technologies that use wood for decoration.
Our use of wood is primarily mechanical. It is sandwiched between two sheets of Dyna fiber and Epoxy.
Some brands use wood as simply more decorative by placing it on the surface under a light varnish. At the slightest shock, it takes the water and the result is atrocious. Our wood is trapped between two thick layers of lamination. It’s reinforced concrete, not plastered!!!
