100% high performance surf foiling board with concentrated volume over a minimum length.
Introduction
The Matata Surf Foils are a reference in the world of surf foiling for their length / volume ratio coupled with their performance.
Built in FSP Pro, this full carbon PVC sandwich board is the most dynamic and solid of our Matata. The Matata FSP Pro Surf Foiling board have been developed exclusively for surf foiling with a full carbon PVC sandwich construction of the highest quality. The hydrophobic high density PVC foam shell is both a protection against violent shocks and an incredible gain in rigidity. The difference in nervousness is crazy during the pumping phases and in radical maneuvers where you absolutely do not feel the board bend or twist.
Inspired by the Matata Surf, our shape dedicated to soft waves, the Matata Surf Foiling board maximizes mediocre conditions. In these sessions, what matters is not having a large board to drop from a distance, as you often take off with whitewater; but it’s about pumping as efficiently as possible to connect as many waves as possible and add up the moves per take off.
With its tiny size ranging from 3’11 to 4’11, the Matata has no inertia in front of your foot. It’s really a micro board with volume. You pump in direct connection with the foil, almost as if the board does not exist.
Its particularly complex hull optimizes the flow before the flight to boost this very compact shape and give it the glide of a large board. Its volume with sophisticated distribution is however classically placed in the board with most of it between your feet and a super thin nose.
Using such a short board is super fun. The handling is just amazing.
5 boards from 3’11 to 4’11 for all sizes. With the Matata Surf Foiling board, you surf foil with a board at the forefront of modernity, light, solid, dynamic, of high quality, and all this without breaking the bank thanks to our online sales system (direct sale from the shaper to the foiler, without intermediary).
- The small 3’11 is 27L, which allows those with a high technical level and a small build to have maximum performance.
- The 4’2 x 32L and the 4’5 x 39L are aimed at riders of a medium size and of a confirmed level.
- The 4’8 x 47L and 4’11 x 55L are perfect for big guys and progressing, with absolute comfort and accessibility thanks to their generous volumes.
Shape
A wide and very short board, with a thick tail, great for reducing inertia and pumping to infinity ?
This hull shape is radical with an extreme double concave nose which dampens the touchdowns by dissipating the energy and guiding the water to either side of the foil before take off. The hull on the last third will distribute the flow to the outside for even earlier take-offs. The pop is instantaneous.
Its very pronounced kick tail as well as the facets on the front rails and especially the ultra thin rails at the tail allow you to fly serenely without fear of the board braking hard at the slightest touchdown on a chop or in tight curves. Even when touching frankly we have every chance to fly back by pumping vigorously.
The flat deck maximizes control, and the feel is in direct relation with the action. Perfect to really commit.
The rocker is low but strongly accentuated by the work on the hull. The latter lightens the board in complex phases.
The volume distribution is homogeneous to keep the board flat when paddling and paddle efficiently. The reduced volume on the rear rails by the work on the hull lowers the rear volume so as not to create excess. This is the best way to avoid having too much volume at the level of the pelvis on the take off and being lifted too strongly. The tail surface is already considerable, so removing a little volume tempers the corck effect at take off and allows the tail to sink better to start.
Equipements
The Matata FSP Pro are equipped with a front pad and a high-end Square 5mm thick tail pad that provide maximum grip and comfort in the surf, while protecting the board from shocks in sketchy take offs for instance.
The set of footstraps is offered with the board. Comfortable and light, they offer perfect support for your feet even in the craziest tricks. The goofy and regular multi-position strap inserts allow you to mount straps for your stance. This will give you a more direct and precise control in your maneuvers.
These boards are fitted with two US boxes with 9cm center distance (the standard box for foil plates on the market). You can therefore mount all the foil plates in the world according to your desires and your style. 
The pressure relief screw is automatic. It is made up of a waterproof membrane that allows air to pass through. It will handle the common variations in pressure between the outside and the inside of your board. The durability gain is considerable, without having to worry about it.
And with the leash plug on the back of the board to secure your leash, nothing is missing.
Construction
These boards are equipped with our innovative and high-end technology called FSP Pro. This full-carbon full sandwich PVC offers the best dynamism while preserving strength, at an incredible weight. It’s quite simply the ultimate in vacuum technology for customs, used as standard on our production models.
The shape is cut with a numerical control (CNC) from a high-end and lightweight EPS foam blank.
We glue in vacuum on the entire board, at a pressure of several tons, a fiberglass and high density PVC foam (called Airex) which forms a hydrophobic shell of 3mm that’s super strong and rigid. 
Then we apply a carbon fiber which completely covers the sandwich of the board. This high-end fiber brings a crazy dynamism to the shape. The overlap of the two layers on the rails reinforces this portion of the shape and strongly stiffens the board. 
These outer layers are also placed in vacuum. This modern process densifies the composite and leaves it only the exact dose of useful resin. The rest is absorbed by a blotting cloth to make your board as light as possible.
Then come the finishing coats with a first hot coat in epoxy resin, super resistant to impact. Then a polyester hot coat which will equalize the micro variations of the surface (less than a millimeter).
And finally the decoration which is as light as possible, therefore with transparency effects which reveal the construction for the greatest pleasure of the eyes. We don’t like painting because it puts on a lot of weight and it’s fragile. We prefer noble materials directly accessible under your eyes and sublimated by some stylish decorative elements.
Our technology is truly the pinnacle of board building. Durable, efficient, repairable, the brands capable of offering a total PVC sandwich in large series for surf foiling boards can be counted on the fingers of one hand and GONG is the leading one!
At GONG our boards are the highest quality. Our low prices may come as a surprise, but they can only be explained by our direct sales model which eliminates margins.
Finally if by bad luck you damage your board, it will be easily repairable because it was well built. We stock components for your preferred repairer and publish dozens of tutorials to help you maintain your equipment throughout its life.
Your benefits are clear:
1. An efficient shape created by one of the leaders in the surf foiling world.
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 Option” finish at a crazy price.
5. A light, solid board, with one of the best tech on the market !!!

Buying guide
For whom?
From the confirmed to the Pro, the Matata is for those with foil experience looking for performance.
Whether you’re a lightweight or of a strong build, the Matata range offers all volumes.
What is it for?
Pretty much everything you love about surf foiling is awesome on the Matata FSP Pro Surf Foiling board. Drop with a tiny amount of foam, pick up speed, carve in a handkerchief, densify your surf, return to the peak without forcing, connect the next bump with a big turn, do this 5 times, 10 times etc…
Obviously with its mini length it is not the queen of paddling, so with this board you should favor spots with breaking waves that you can catch on your way back. And you can especially bet on its pumping performance to add up the flight minutes.
What size?
- The 3’11 x 27L is the ultimate size: light or top level only.
- The 4’2 x 32L is high performance but with volume
- The 4’5 x 39L is also high performance but with a lot of comfort
- The 4’8 x 47L is comfortable, perfect for the bigger foilers
- The 4’11 x 55L is very comfortable, what else? ?
In all cases, they are very compact shapes offering a lot of dynamism.
How to choose the size of the board bag for my Surf Foil Board Matata?
Understanding the GONG range?
We can very simply summarize the concepts of each board in our range:
HIPE: the inflatable with 95% of the stiffness. Ideal for beginners and much more!
Lance: the easy surf foiling board that’s comfortable to paddle.
Matata: maximum compactness for an unmatched reactivity.
Lethal: speed, control and total radicality for the pros.
What is the ideal foil?
To start the Rise or the X-Over front wing are the best choices because they make your first steps easier. They fly at very low speeds. Therefore it’s less scary and you can fly in almost nothing.
Then you should switch to wings with more performance to gain top speed and seek high performance.
The must is to upgrade this foil with a 70cm monobloc carbon Pro mast.
And for beginners, a shorter mast is easier.
Quiver partners?
If you’re into surf foiling you’ll be into classic surfing when the waves are good and hollow. You will have a wide range of choice in our range to complete your quiver.
Surf foiling tends to eat up the usual SUP program because it enjoys the same waves. It’s not easy to marry the two but having diversity in a quiver is always a plus. Surf foiling is typically perfect in the conditions of an NFA for example.
We will often complement a surf foiling board with a wing because it is the ideal combination when the wind is rising. The wing is really the ski lift for a surf foiler. It’s a completely natural extension of it.
Which settings?
A beginner will pull the foil all the way back.
And an expert will place his foil in the center of the boxes.
Which leash?
A short leash, a 5′ of 6 mm is sufficient in small waves. A 6′of 7mm will be much safer as soon as it gets bigger. It’s your lifejacket, you have to use it to protect yourself and others. It is imperative to renew it every year because it wears out.
How to place and adjust your straps?
Equipments
- 2 US boxes allow the assembly of a foil equipped with a plate of 4 screws + nuts.
- 8 inserts of 5-hole footstraps to optimize your position, Goofy or Regular.
- 2 GONG symmetric large light footstraps (screws included).
- A 5 mm grooved deck pad for absolute grip and comfort, incorporating a tail pad with kicker for perfect strapless rear foot positioning. Deck pad and tail pad glued during manufacture, in the factory.
- Leash plug Concrete Fixed at the tail so you never lose your board.
- Automatic vent screw.(LINK TO THE HOW TO)
