Inflatable Technology


The carbon plate, which is a real revolution by GONG, makes all the difference. It is solidly glued under the inflatable structure. This part, made of 1.9kg of pure prepreg carbon and two foam stringers, is a jewel of composite know-how. By its design, it brings precisely what is needed in terms of mechanics to be as rigid as a classic board, without increasing the total weight.

In foil surfing, small sizes are perfect, especially the smallest. It’s hard to tell the difference with a rigid board, except on very sharp sensations. But for flying, cool carving, pumping and connecting a whole series, it’s great! Strapless only on the other hand.

In wake foil, the HIPE Perf is just great. It’s clearly the perfect board because it’s really easy to ride, never hurting the boat or the passengers. And it’s hard to find faults with it on the water as it’s so close to a rigid board, with the advantages of the inflatable (especially in the falls). Inflated in 1 minute, the 4’8 is essential for wakeboarding.

The advantages of inflatable technology

  • Woven Drop Stitch technology double layer welded.
  • Air pressure: 15 to 20 psi.
  • Transport: the board fits in a bag.
  • Practical: inflates in 2 minutes.
  • Aesthetics: The result is very beautiful.
  • Strong: great resistance to mistreatment.
  • Durable: 100% repairable.

The performances of carbon

  • ICS Full carbon prepreg plate.
  • High density foam stringers to limit flex and weight.
  • US rails machined directly from carbon: incredible performance.
  • Unmatched rigidity on the market.
  • Unparalleled dynamism and responsiveness.
  • A foil + inflatable set without any loss of sensations!

An innovative board thought out in the last detail

  • PVC reinforcement under the plate to protect the board with an extra layer.
  • PVC reinforcement on the plate to protect the carbon and the glue from the heat, and distribute the forces as far away as possible on the plate to avoid detachment.
  • Non-open brass inserts to screw the foil without any risk of damaging the board.
  • The 3 foot straps and the screws are offered with the board.
