Outline
This compact shape is the ideal compromise between speed and maneuverability in surfing. Its fluid lines are designed to facilitate maneuvers. It’s a clever adaptation of the thousands of templates we’ve developed over the past 30 years that allows for such efficient and easy handling.
The take off is early because the distribution of the volume of an inflatable makes it start early on the wave. But its rocker is heavy to negotiate the slope of the wave with ease.
The outline refined at the tips and the semi-rigid edge rails at the tail allow you to draw beautiful curves with precision. The contribution of semi-rigid rails to drive and stability in surfing is obvious. It clearly boosts your surf and you can attack harder.
For each size, the volume is important to head to the line-up quickly and comfortably in order to take a maximum of waves.
Rocker: almost constant and kicked nose. Quick and easy take off.
Rails: by nature, soft and round throughout, which provides a very efficient glide. A semi-rigid and straight edge rail is glued to the tail for precise steering.
Volume: the ideal thickness to offer a generous and manageable volume.
Outline: Slightly pinched round tail, stable at the center and a thin nose point. Shortboard style.
Tail: round tail slightly pinched for maximum maneuverability and speed.
Nose: point nose not too wide for radical curves.
2+1 configuration
The 2+1 configuration (2 removable lateral fins in the standard FCS II, and 1 center fin mounted on a US Box) delivers remarkable grip in the curves and allows you to change your fin set-up to explore different surfing feelings. The board accelerates off the rail, and you can put it all away in two seconds. A revolution.

Understanding the GONG range ?
What is the difference between our First range and Couine Marie range ?
Best quiver choices?
This board is perfect with aCarbon Pro GONG Paddle cut to your size, and a high-end FCS fin set in fiberglass or carbon.
What length of paddle?
The way you paddle, your stance and the frequency at which you paddle will depend on your program. You will need a longer paddle for touring for multiple hours, while you would need a shorter paddle for surfing in order to facilitate quick and strong paddle strokes to catch a wave. Take your time to pick the right length/setting for your paddle, because it will help give you the stability and performance you will need.
Examples:
For a 100% surfing session, set your paddle between your waist and +10cm.
For more relaxed surfing, a +10cm paddle will be perfect.
For a ride, set your paddle between +10 and +20cm.
Which leash?
Takea leash about the length of your board and at least 7mm in diameter.
Check its condition before each session and change it every year. This is your life jacket.
Good to know:
Never leave your board in the sun, let alone an inflatable board which will heat up very quickly. You risk seeing it peel off because the materials it is made of become flexible in the heat. Never store it under a car window, or in contact with a heat source.
Never let your board get roughed up in the waves, especially when you’re close to the beach. You have to protect it from major strains. A wave that takes your board and rolls it can do damage.
Do not hold it by the leash indefinitely because it can give way under very high tension. Avoid big waves and don’t resist. If it breaks, it’s easy to change but annoying.
Stay away from oysters: this is one of the few seashells that can cut your board and sink it in seconds. Be careful +++
Don’t let your inflatable board rub on something for a long time. It can happen on a boat, for example, that your board moves with each wave and rubs for hours in the same place. The material will disintegrate because it will be as sanded. You will have a hole that will need to be covered with a patch.
Never put the board between the wave and you: risk of a broken nose type injury ?
Do not paddle far at sea with an offshore wind, and avoid windy outings as it is rarely fun and always dangerous. SUP is an activity that involves real risks, even in seemingly peaceful conditions. Always anticipate these risks and protect yourself.
Equipments
When we know that the fins make 50% of the performance of a board, it was crucial for GONG to find strong technical solutions to improve the performance of the inflatable.
The Couine Marie ShortSUP is therefore delivered with a US central fin plus 2 lateral fins to the FCSII standard.
Our fin configuration is revolutionary for an inflatable SUP: the central US fin coupled with the two FCSII fins allow it to be fitted as a rigid SUP, with all the choice of the best fins in the world compatible without tools with your board to surf almost like on a rigid SUP.
The semi-rigid rails at the tail form a ridge that precise handling and improves water outflow. We go faster and the steering is finer in surfing.
It is equipped with three carrying handles to grab it easily. A central padded and neoprene handle to carry the board under your arm. Two ergonomic silicone “turtle” handles in the front third that allow you to either pass the foams by pulling the board, or to get out of the water by dragging the board over the water. Really practical!
The large diameter leash ring is the strongest on the market. And we’ve added a towing ring for safety, but also because it’s really handy to have an attachment point on the nose during transport, at anchor, or to secure a camera.
Our new 5 mm thick Velvet Traction Pad is particularly designed to be comfortable. Very aesthetic, It offers a flawless and super comfortable grip. The feeling is ultra soft and you can feel the board perfectly under your feet. The board is all the more responsive. Long sessions without tiring or slipping are all yours!
The position of the pad on the board is optimized for surfing, with a real tail pad very far back with a kicker to place your foot in the curves.
The supplied double-action inflation pump is super efficient to be the first in the water.
A repair kit is also included in the event of damage (note the kit is delivered without glue which you will easily find in your DIY store). Note that we have the components of your board in stock in order to repair it fairly easily.
Everything comes in a super practical and solid rolling carry bag.
- The wheels are on the opposite side to the carrying face so as not to pinch your buttocks when walking and not to roll on the carrying straps.
- These backpack straps are very padded and comfortable.
- The handles are super strong and comfy.
- The large front pocket allows you to store your accessories and personal effects without risking losing them.
- And the compression straps keep the bag volume to a minimum.
