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.

ICS Technology - HIPE Woven Light

Advantages of inflatable technology:

  • Woven Dropstitch single-layer tech with reinforced rails (double layer).

  • Easy transport: Folds neatly into a bag.
  • Convenience: Inflated in just 2 minutes.
  • Aesthetic: Beautiful finish with long-lasting design.
  • Durability: Highly resistant to rough conditions.
  • Fully repairable: Everything can be fixed.

The performance of prepreg carbon and fiberglass:

  • ICS Full Composite Prepreg Plate – premium-grade construction.
  • Advanced construction techniques – monolithic layering, stringers, and fabric stacking inspired by aerospace engineering.
  • Lightweight high-density foam and stringers to reduce flex and weight.
  • Machined US rails integrated into the monolithic structure for maximum efficiency.
  • Exceptional rigidity and responsiveness, rivaling rigid boards.
  • 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.

  • Safety: the dropstitch absorbs shocks.
  • Aesthetic: the appearance is very pleasing.
  • Durability: highly resistant to rough handling.
  • Longevity: 100% repairable.

The performances of prepreg carbon and fiberglass

  • ICS Full composite prepreg plate, top of the line.
  • High-density foam stringers to limit flex and weight.
  • US rails machined directly into the carbon: incredible performance.
  • Unrivaled stiffness on the market.
  • Unparalleled dynamism and responsiveness.
  • A foil + inflatable combination without any loss of sensation.

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 without blushing, comparable (if not better) than most of the high-end boards on the market sold at high prices …

The board is fully reinforced with a fiberglass lamination with a vacuum bonded wood sandwich and a super strong laminated biaxial fiberglass. Fully, that is to say the deck, the bottom but also the rails, unlike many “prestige” brands.

And the deck benefits from an additional reinforcement in a 3mm high density PVC (Airex) sandwich which limits all impacts, a guarantee of durability.
It is the perfect techno for first-time wing buyers,who are looking foran unbeatable price / solidity combo.

  • 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 wood sandwich: an unbeatable price/strength ratio.
  • Deck: full wood/fiberglass sandwich composed of a wood core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass and 1 layer of 6oz biaxial fiberglass, a
  • PVC/fiber sandwich over the entire foot passage area.
  • Hull: full wood/fiberglass sandwich composed of a wood core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass and 1 layer of 6oz biaxial fiberglass.
  • Specific foil reinforcements: high density PVC block that holds in the two US rail boxes. Four layers of carbon cover the boxes. The PVC
  • block connects the boxes to the deck to avoid EPS being compacted on this critical area.
  • Rails: the wooden sandwich structure completely covers the rails: structural solidity, good resistance to shocks (paddle strokes).
  • Integrated carrying handle in the 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.
  • These boards feature our WOOD 2X technology for the best strength/price compromise 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.
High-density PVC foam: Waterproof, hard, strong, shape memory.
Wood: Strength, reliability, unbeatable price.

FSP 2X Technology

FSP 2X is our innovative, high-end technology, offering the best compromise between weight, durability, and performance 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 durable outer shell on the EPS core of your board. Combined with the biaxial fiberglass, it ensures the best durability/performance balance on the market. Thanks to the vacuum bagging process used during production, the final weight of your board is perfectly controlled.

Durable, efficient, repairable, the brands capable of offering a total PVC sandwich in large series in Wing foiling can be counted on the fingers of one hand and GONG is the leading one!
