Wing foil board technos

On the techno side, 4 rooms, 4 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.

  • A foil + inflatable combo that keeps all the sensations intact!

An innovative board designed with ultimate attention to detail:

  • PVC reinforcement under the plate – adds an extra layer to protect the float.
  • PVC reinforcement on top of the plate – shields the carbon and adhesive from heat while distributing forces across a wider area to prevent delamination.
  • Double brass inserts (sealed) connected by a carbon fiber rod – ensures easy foil mounting without the risk of puncturing the board.
  • Large-diameter leash ring – ultra-strong and essential for wingfoiling.

An durable board

  • PVC reinforcement under the plate to preserve the board with an additional layer.
  • PVC reinforcement on the plate to protect the carbon and adhesive from heat, and distribute the efforts as far as possible on the plate to avoid detachment.
  • Double non-through brass inserts connected by a carbon fiber rod to easily screw the foil without risking piercing the board.
  • The large diameter leash ring is the strongest on the market. This is essential for wingfoil use.

Wood 2X Technology

Our entry-level construction is of very high quality, with a full wood sandwich and reinforcements in PVC sandwich and fiberglass.

The board is fully reinforced beyond the fiberglass lamination with a vacuum-bonded wood sandwich and an extra-strong biaxial fiberglass layer. Fully means the deck, the bottom, and also the rails.

The deck benefits from an additional reinforcement in 3mm high-density PVC (Airex) sandwich, which limits all impacts and guarantees durability. It’s the perfect technology for beginners looking for an unbeatable price/strength ratio.

  • 3D shaping with modeling software.
  • CNC pre-shape for total reliability.
  • Shape control using traditional templates, with the final millimeter finished 100% by hand.
  • 100% Epoxy board with EPS blank: strong and lightweight.
  • Deck, bottom, and rails in vacuum-bonded wood sandwich: unbeatable price/strength ratio.
  • Deck: full wood/fiberglass sandwich made of a wood core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass plus 1 layer of 6oz biaxial fiberglass, plus a PVC/fiberglass sandwich over the entire standing area.
  • Bottom: full wood/fiberglass sandwich made of a wood core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass plus 1 layer of 6oz biaxial fiberglass.
  • Rails: the wood sandwich structure fully wraps the rails, ensuring structural strength and good shock resistance.
  • Foil-specific reinforcements: high-density, waterproof PVC block housing the two US boxes and handle.
  • The PVC box block is connected to the deck to avoid EPS delamination in this critical zone.
  • Four layers of carbon reinforce the boxes.
  • Integrated GONG carrying handle within the box reinforcement and PVC bottom sandwich: no risk of breakage around this area.
  • First epoxy hot coat: premium process, no porosity, strong finish.
  • Second polyester hot coat: easy repairability and flawless finish.
  • “Custom finish” matte coating, hand-applied, for weight savings and improved glide.

Boards built with our WOOD 2X technology offer the best strength/price ratio on the market.

Main qualities of the components:

EPS core: Lightweight, shock-absorbing, shape memory.
Epoxy resin: Durable, less brittle, shape memory.
Fiberglass: Strength, less brittle, forgiving, flexible.
Wood: Strength, reliability, unbeatable price.
High-density PVC foam: Waterproof, hard, strong, shape memory.

FSP 2X Technology

The FSP 2X is our innovative, high-end technology, for the best weight/strength/performance compromise on the market.

FSP 2X is a full sandwich of biaxial fiberglass and PVC. This high-density, 3mm-thick material is strong, lightweight, and hydrophobic. It forms a rigid and solid integral shell over the EPS core of your board. Combined with biaxial fiber, it guarantees the best durability/performance compromise on the market. And with the manufacturing process that combines vacuum packaging, the final weight of your board is perfectly controlled.

Durable, efficient, repairable, the brands capable of offering a total PVC sandwich as standard in wing form can be counted on the fingers of one hand. GONG is the leader!

  • 3D shape on modeling software.
  • CNC pre-shaped for total reliability.
