Modern Egg : des planches qui boostent votre niveau et survolent le spot.

Présentation

Quite a lot of surface, an early take off, a magical acceleration, this is the shape to progress without the hassle of a big board. 

Thin, elegant with its round point nose, the Devil’s Tongue gives you just the right amount of ease without degrading the performance you need. Its nose offers lift but does not catch rails in the turns. Its tail is punchy but fits perfectly in the curves, moving smoothly from rail to rail with its V-shape under the rear foot. 

The concave hull captures the flow of water to boost your acceleration. The rails are clearly those of a shortboard for a modern drive that you will enjoy throughout your progress. 

The Devil’s Tongue is either your first shortboard to evolve; either the super fun and relaxed board for the summer and / or surfers looking for comfort and ease. 

Definitely the all about fun board to put in all hands.

 Your benefits are clear:

1. An efficient shape created by one of the leaders in the world of surfing.
2. A design at the cutting edge of R&D and ahead of its time.
3. A construction proven on thousands of boards.
4. The “Full Options” finish at a crazy price.
5. A light, solid board, with one of the best tech on the market !!!
6. An incredible price that can only be explained by our direct relationship with you.
7. Simple maintenance and easy repairs because we have all components in stock.

Shape
In a nutshell

The round point nose and large diamond tail maximize surface area to boost take-offs. This is clearly what will help you in your progress. 

The rocker is pronounced to give maximum tolerance on the slope and boost handling. The highly crafted rails come from our dedicated high performance shapes, with plenty of rear foot grip, gliding super well above the water and the most forgiving nose possible. 

The hull is also very worked with a big concave under the front foot which concentrates a maximum of the flows to direct them towards the fins and the tail. Both acceleration and handling / control ratio are optimal. Everything you need for an evolutionary board with high performance.

  • Rocker: Modern to combine speed and carving.
  • Rails: hard at the tail and round in the nose for a high-performance feeling.
  • Volume: without excess to keep the performance at a good level.
  • Outline: large general surface, tail support, compact and soft nose. The Board carries and flies on the water.
  • Tail: large faceted diamond cut to accelerate and keep a nice rail on rail rocker.
  • Nose: round point nose that carries when paddling and does not snag in the turns.
  • Deck: flat for control, domed near the rails for maneuverability.
  • Bottom: concave for maximum speed with a slight V at the tail for rail to rail.
  • Fins: Tri/Quad.

WCKF Surf Technology


High Quality Materials : EPS Blank, Epoxy Resin, Fiber Glass, PVC reinforcements, 0,6mm wood veneer, Patented FCS2 Boxes.

This technology is rock solid, performant and at a great price. Beautiful construction with modern composites.

Technical details :

  • Board, 100% Epoxy over EPS foam : solid and light.
  • Deck and Hull in vacuumed wood sandwich : the wood is more resistant to shocks and absorbs the vibration.
  • Deck detail : 3 layers of Fiber Glass + wood core + reinforcements at sensitive points.
  • Hull detail : 2 layers of Fiber Glass + wood core + reinforcements at sensitive points like the Fin Boxes.
  • Rails : Full Kevlar Belt plus 5 layers of Fiber Glass overlay on the rails.
  • Reinforced Boxes and glued into a high density PVC foam with layers of FCV over them.
  • Pre-shape by digital control, and shape controlled by traditional templates, 100% Hand Finished.
  • Semi mat Pro Finish for a better glide, less sensitive to scratching.
  • This WoodCKFusion Techno is easily repairable, we have all the components necessary.
  • The WoodCKFusion is light, dynamic and remains supple and diminishes rebounding in the water.

The pros of the GONG WoodCKFusion Technology :

  • Esthetic, the result is very pretty.
  • Solid : serious resistance against dings.
  • Supple and Dynamic at the same time.
  • Durable : 100% repairable.
  • More Green and Eco friendly, the use of wood over PVC for the sandwich.

We’ve been producing GONG Boards with this type of technology since our first GONG Board in 1996.

With over 15 years of experience with this technology, we have been able to perfectly master all the components and its assembly. Choosing the good foam blanks. Stratification with no bubbles and with perfect cohesion to the foam and remaining ultra-light. Gluing the wood veneer as well as the Kevlar Belt by vacuum. Re-stratifying over this layer for the sandwich effect. Obtaining perfect water resistance.

And finalizing with a finish that makes it beautiful. That’s our Savoir Faire, and made better year after year.

Our factories work according to our specifications and it’s Patrice Guenole, our Shaper, that forms those who intervene in the fabrication of our technology.

It is no small task and is expensive but is the best way to insure and guarantee the best quality for the buyer. Our returns statistics are incredibly low and the testimonials on our Forum are witness to the irreproachable quality of our Boards.

And yes, our technology takes into consideration our concern with the planet.

We limit the contribution of excess material to each phase by learning advanced techniques to the workers. Thus, we save expensive and polluting material. But above all we reduce enormously the sanding phases. That means less fine dust in the air and more safety for the workers.

In addition, we use the best components to guarantee your board a maximum life. Fewer broken Boards = less waste and unnecessary production.

Leftover scraps of our fiber are used for box reinforcements. It is almost zero waste on this expensive and polluting material to produce.

The leftover foam is totally recycled. The large pieces are recycled to make new Blanks. Bubbles and shavings form the shapes are used by manufacturers who use it to padding in cushions for example.

At every stage of production, we have the permanent concern to save our planet.

Be careful not to confuse this technology with technologies that use wood for decoration.

Our use of wood is primarily mechanical. It is sandwiched between two sheets of Dyna fiber and Epoxy.

Some brands use wood as simply more decorative by placing it on the surface under a light varnish. At the slightest shock, it takes the water and the result is atrocious. Our wood is trapped between two thick layers of lamination. It’s reinforced concrete, not plastered!!!

Delivery

Delivery delay

We indicate a preparation and shipping time of 3 working days. In reality, the majority of orders are shipped within 24/48 hours.

The delivery time, i.e. delivery time of the package to your home, then depends on the delivery location and the carrier.

We work with reliable and efficient carriers. 99% of shipments go perfectly and quickly. In the case of the remaining 1%, rest assured that we will do what is necessary with the carrier.

Shipping fees

Unlike other sites, shipping costs are not hidden behind the price of our products. You know exactly what shipping costs you, and you are not disadvantaged if you choose to collect your order at our GONG Space Center.

Shipping costs are calculated based on the weight and volume of each package, and your delivery address.

Tracking your package

Delivery tracking is managed directly by the carriers to whom we have entrusted your packages. They will contact you by email or SMS to allow you to choose delivery methods and follow the route of your package.

Carriers

We work with the best transport societies to deliver to you throughout Europe and the world within very short deadlines. We chose them for their quality of service and their compliance with deadlines.

For mainland France, 80% of your orders arrive at their destination in less than 48 hours of processing.

For Europe, delivery times vary from 3 to 6 working days, depending on the country of destination.

For the rest of the world, delivery times depend on transit time and customs clearance time. This delay depends on customs and can last from a few days to a few weeks depending on the destination and seasonality.

Please note, transport time is added to preparation/shipping time. Two companies collaborate on your order (GONG and the carrier). Each one masters its activity and is committed to optimizing its deadlines so that you are delivered as quickly as possible and at a reasonable price.

Eco-responsible packaging

Preserving the environment is an absolute priority. This is why we do everything possible to reduce our ecological footprint.

The most important thing is to sell quality, durable products that will be repairable and will please you for a long time.

For our shipments, we use:


  • Scotch craft paper.

  • Final packaging in high-end cardboard.

  • For rigid boards: Flexi-Hex, very high resistance ecological packaging.

This means:


  • Reusable and recyclable packaging.

  • An almost total reduction in single-use plastic.

  • Maximum protection and impact resistance for rigid boards thanks to the innovative Flexi-Hex honeycomb design (35mm thick).


Receipt of your product

Upon delivery, check the condition of your package in the presence of the carrier. A complete explanation email on the procedure to follow will be sent to you when your order is shipped.

Despite our requirements and all the care we take in the packaging and protection of your product, transport hazards may occur, and your product may suffer more or less significant transport damage.

Note that the products are protected in their carton. If you have any doubts, simply refuse delivery and contact us.

How to properly glue your pads?

The question of the pad often comes down to an aesthetic choice for the look of your board. But what seems like luxury to non-pros is actually a huge help.
If surfing is the art of placement then you need to put your feet properly on the board. And what better than a touch marker to know, ok, I’m at the sweet spot for this turn.?

Sticking good pads is therefore essential. They will signal to your feet whether they are in the perfect position or not.
You still have to stick them properly, and some get very creative…
