Inflatable surfboard type funboard, compact and dedicated to small waves.

Presentation

The GONG SURF INFLATABLE COMPACT is perfect for summer waves.

It paddles fast for its size because it is thick. When you take off, you just have to plant the tail a little to start in three paddle strokes. Its surfing qualities are surprising with a one third very wide rear to accelerate, which naturally generates a lot of speed. And paradoxically, it turns really well thanks to its small size, which is very playful. For an inflatable board, the surfing performances are amazing.

It’s the ideal board for soft waves, but also for hollow shorebreaks which require a small board to slide down the slope gently. Its range of use is therefore really wide and will cover most of the summer sessions.

Safety is a key argument on this range of inflatable boards. Storage is obviously an asset, but the protection of the inflatable against impacts for both the surfer and the board itself are a real plus.

A truly original board for an unbelievable pleasure without the constraints of a rigid board!

2 boards from 5’0 to 5’6 for all sizes. With the surfs GONG Inflatable Compact, you have a board at the forefront of modernity, 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 5’0 x 55L is intended for intermediate levels with small to medium builds.
The 5’6 x 62L is intended for beginners with small to medium builds but also for more advanced and heavier surfers.

In a nutshell

GONG was the first brand in the world to produce inflatable surfboards. Our know-how is therefore a reflection of our experience. But we don’t stop there because we are constantly innovating to make these boards as efficient as possible. GONG Inflatable Compact surfboards have a refined shape, unique in the world of inflatable, with a real affiliation with rigid boards.

These boards are reassuring by their generous width and volume allowing easy and fast take-offs even on the softest waves.

Their straight outline on the tail will boost acceleration. That’s why these boards perform in cool waves, without having to step up to a longboard. You just hop on it, give a little push and it bursts.

Its small size associated with a round and short nose ensures maneuverability and reactivity.

The very flat rocker at the rear third allows for a rapid speed gain with a good conservation of it on the soft sections of the wave.

The rails are round in front and hard at the tail which provides progressive grip while holding firmly in hollow sections.

It’s the inflatable board combining maneuverability and speed!

Rocker: almost constant and low with a kick nose. The board takes off early!!! Maximum speed.
Rails: hard at the tail and round all the way which gives a progressive and cool grip.
Volume: the thickness is generous and the width at the tail offers a reassuring volume at the take off.
Outline: Wide at the tail, moderate in the center with a median width and a thinner nose. It’s Simmons style!!!
Tail: big square tail to combine early take off, suppleness and radicalism.
Nose: round point nose that combines stability and radicalism.

Buying guide

For whom?

All those looking for something cool and carefree. A board that is super easy to store, solid, and reassuring.

This shape is short, therefore more technical. It’s ideal when you have a little surfing experience and know how to place your stance.

What’s it for?

Perfect for progressing and having a blast in waves that require acceleration.

This is a shape dedicated to soft waves or with long mellow sections. Its wide tail maintains speed and the small length of the board gives incredible responsiveness.

Some will also love this shape for its style of gliding, including in hollow and faster waves, to play with this reactivity.

What size?

The 5’0 x 55L is intended for intermediate levels of small to medium builds.

The 5’6 x 62L is aimed at beginner to intermediate levels of light to medium builds but will also suit bigger builds of good level.

What accessories?

A leash, a poncho, a good wetsuit and go !!!
