Function :
The MOB is the GONG interpretation of shortSUP shapes.
Easy to surf and very efficient in slow waves.
Introduction :
The MOB FSP 7’2, 7’6, 7’11, 8’3 and 8’6 are a variation of the same shape with different volumes, lengths, widths to adapt to the needs of all rider sizes and skill levels.
The MOB shape is the GONG interpretation of hybrid shortSUP : boards made for all conditions and extremely efficient on mushy/average waves.
These are boards designed for shredding (rollers, cutbacks, 360°s) in mushy, windy, choppy waves.
The MOBs are stable and ideal for those mediocre conditions that we find so often; currents, chop, wind with the MOB= no problemo amigo.
The MOB 7’2 is an easy board for her size. Ideal for a surfer between 60 kg and 75 kg, also conviniant up to 80 kg for a rider with experience, and she’s accessible to SUPers with a competant skill level under 60 kg.
She’s a blast while paddling with her quick rocker, the lifted nose permits cutting through waves easily and she remains stable while waiting.
While surfing she can take off quite early considering her size. She performs fantastically thanks to her heightend natural acceleration. A Pro is going to be your rocket for those soft, mushy days. A competent rider is going to adore the instant speed. An incredibly versatile board, and at ease with turns and tricks, perfect in mushy waves or shifty waves.
The latest version has had its volume overhauled and repartitioned for utility. It is now more centered between he position of the feet when surfing in order to refine the extremities. The larger extremities make for more surface hence more stability during those waiting phases even with the reduced thickness. This centering of volume allows one to create a more fluid surf and the lightning of the extremities reduces the inertia of the shape when maneuvering.
The pressure points are dispersed equally on the deck contrary to narrower boards that require 80% of your weight on the front leg. Hence the pressure points are easier to access for a novice on the CLOUD. The width at the tail procures you sufficient stability and enough power to shred mushier waves, all while requiring less technique than narrow boards.
Most explosive on less powerful waves and that’s the finest quality of the MOB.
