GONG SURF 9’8 INCREDIBLE PINK PU

Introduction

A Unique, Made in France, exceptionally well finished Board.

The 9’8 INCREDIBLE PINK is the ultimate noserider in small waves.

With her voluminous, floaty and fluid shape this board is made to collect retro style cutbacks and hang tens. However, she remains one of the finest boards for a novice rider due to her unique slide. She takes off with incredible ease even in ripples. She erases any errors because she is large and she allows you to catch a maximum of waves without paddle fatigue.
It’s all in her curves and lift that favorizes the noseride, starting with her line drawing square nose. The board is mellow and stable while walking. The more you advance, the faster she planes so as to get through the section without having to recoil.
From there, it’s your imagination, your surf culture, and your surf desires that will reveal your talents.

It’s the noserider “cult”, totally indespensible for lovers of cross stepping.
