Description

Program

Super easy inflatable longboard for soft waves.

Presentation

The GONG Inflatable Longboard is perfect for long waves. But for a beginner, this is a great board for getting into the foam !!!

It paddles really fast thanks to its inflatable technology which offers great volume throughout. At the take off, it only takes a few paddle strokes to get on the wave early. Its glide is amazing, as are its precise curves with its fine tail and semi-rigid rails. We’ll even go play at the nose for fun.

It’s the ideal board for long soft waves, but also for those who want to combine rowing speed and comfort of use. The easy and hassle-free board on the market. Its range of use is mainly small waves but it also performs well in hollow waves if you know how to control it.

This longboard generous in volume is super easy and will amaze you by its maneuverability with its trifin assembly. It’s a board that makes you progress smoothly.

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 really great board in small waves, without the constraints of a rigid board!

2 boards of 8’0 and 9’0 for all sizes. With the surfs GONG Inflatable Longboard, 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 8’0 x 93L is intended for beginners of all sizes looking for versatility.
  • The 9’0 x 110L is intended for beginners of all sizes looking for a real longboard.

Shape

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 Longboard 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 rather round outline favors manoeuvrability to combine the strength of a big board when paddling and the liveliness we like when surfing. The feeling is really fun.

The steady rocker allows for a very supple glide, without hinder, perfect to go up the nose and enjoy all the length of the board to pass the soft sections. It’s also a very fast rocker for paddling.

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

It’s the inflatable board for catching waves from far, rising your wave count and progression without any risk of getting hurt.

Equipment

It’s a revolution in inflatable surfing: GONG innovates by adding FCS II boxes !!!

The most practical and top-of-the-range boxes in the world are finally available on our inflatable boards. With our patented inclusion system, you have access to FCS II performance, the best fins in the world, and all without a screw. Frankly that’s awesome.

GONG Inflatable Longboard surfboards are equipped with top-of-the-range pads, with a good cover and refined profile  which bring a maximum of grip.

Its rigid but foldable rear rails make it a digest of new technologies, providing performance without compromising the compactness of the inflatable.

There is no shortage of essentials, such as the stainless steel ring on the back to secure your leash.

Construction

These boards are equipped with the best inflatable technology: high quality materials are used such as the Dropstitch Mirasol produced in the best factories in the world.

These boards are made up of double PVC layers welded to the deck and the hull ensuring a rigidity that conventional technologies can’t compete with. The rails are also reinforced to ensure you have a durable board that is highly resistant to impact and abrasion.

Another benefit, not the least: it’s possible to repair these inflatable boards yourself, simply and thanks to the use of repair kits included in your pack. For all other requests, we keep all components in stock. At GONG, our boards are repairable from A to Z.

  • We make quality products. We are not “low cost”.

  • If we sold this board in a surfshop, it would cost 418€ (taking into account traditional margins that we should offer to distributers and stores).

 

Shipping

Availability:

The dates of availability of all our products are written on each product page, in the size and colour of the product concerned.

These dates are valid at the moment you consult the site and/or place an order. It is possible that this product may be ordered a few seconds after your consultation. It then becomes unavailable. If you have placed an order, this change does not concern you: the product you order is still available on the date indicated at the time of your order.

We sell several thousand products per week. The stocks are therefore very evolutionary. But our management always shows you the real availability live.

If it’s available online: it’s available ?

 

Pre-order:

Some articles are proposed in pre-order during their routing to our premises. You can buy this article which will arrive at our place in a few weeks. This method avoids the fair to grab upon receipt of the lot and the disappointed ones who would not order within the hour.

Upon receipt, we will ship it to you as a regular order.

The times indicated on the pre-orders are 95% reliable. First of all, because we only pre-sell finished products that are arriving to us after Customs, and therefore shipped right after. And also, because we add decent margins with concern to the dates announced by the shipping companies or railways.

However, a Worker Strike, a breakdown, an overbooking, can unfortunately happen. In the case of a delay, you will be notified by email (check your spam). It is generally less than a week and totally independent of our good will.

As soon as we receive the container in La Baule, we ship your order within three working days. Then the carrier takes over: delivery time and tracking numbers are under their responsibility.

It is possible that the date displayed on the online for the pre-order of the item you have ordered and paid for may change for two reasons:

  1. All quantities of the batch are sold (most common reason). In this case, orders placed for the first container will be delivered as scheduled.
  2. The container is late and we have to shift the date by a few days. (Strikes, breakdowns, overbooking, can unfortunately happen). You will be notified by email.

We never change the delivery dates of a container without notifying customers.

 

Delays:

The dates that we announce are shipping deadlines, which GONG has in stock and available here physically.

We usually give a shipping time within 3 days, but in most cases, we ship within 24/48 hours. Normally morning orders leave in the afternoon for example.

Then the transport service takes over. The variables are then important between the customer being delivered to France (very fast) or Bulgaria (a good week) or to a forwarding agent or to Asia or the USA… You understand that each location has its own type of delay.

We work with serious and well-known carriers. They do their utmost to make you happy even if a snafu can happen. In any case, we are there to make things easier and to arrange our customers.

 

Shipping Fees: 

Contrary to others, we do not hide shipping costs in the price of our products. At GONG everyone knows exactly what he pays. The transport is charged at its strictest value, and the person who comes to pick up his products does not pay hidden transport fees.

Shipping costs are calculated according to the weight and volume of each package, and your delivery address. To this is added a labour time of order preparation.

The invoicing of the shipping costs is identical in continental France and in the bordering European countries. A surcharge is automatically invoiced for deliveries to the most distant European countries and all European islands.

For a shipment in French overseas departments and territories or outside Europe, our logistics department will contact you before the payment stage to give you an estimate of the shipping costs. You will be able to accept this estimate and pay your order, or refuse it and cancel your order.

 

Any questions:

We answer you within 24 hours by email. But 95% of your questions are answered on the site. Try to use our contact form which will guide you to all these answers.

Don’t forget to read the Forum, where thousands of users exchange information and experiences.

In any case, don’t panic. If you don’t get an answer during the weekend, it’s normal: the team is resting ?

We are passionate and professional in our job. Our only goal is to make you happy, as much as possible ?

 

Tracking of your parcels :

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

If you ask us for this tracking, we will have to do as you do: we will go see on the carrier’s app because they are the ones who manage and are responsible for this job.

 

Delivery:

We collaborate with the best transport providers to deliver you everywhere in Europe and in the world in very short delays.

We have chosen them for their quality of service and their respect of deadlines. 80% of your orders reach their destination in less than 48 hours of processing in metropolitan and continental France.

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

For the rest of the world, delays can be up to 15 days.

Please note that the transport time is added to the preparation/shipping time. Two companies work on your order (GONG and the carrier). Each one controls its activity and commits itself to optimize its delays so that you are delivered as soon as possible, in good condition and at a reasonable price.

 

Reception of your Board:

Upon delivery, simply open and inspect the condition of your Board in the presence of the carrier. A complete email explaining the procedure to follow will be sent to you when your order is shipped.

In spite of our requirements and all the care we take in packaging and protecting your Board, transportation hazards may occur. Even if it concerns less than 2% of everything we ship around the world, a Board can suffer a more or less important transportation shock.

But in any case, don’t worry, just refuse it, and a new Board will be shipped back to you.

 

Returns:

You can choose to return your products if:

  • You are not satisfied (14 days right of retraction).
  • You want to change an item.
  • You have refused your package.

  1. Éric

    Planche gonflable 9′ reçue et testée.
    Les conditions :
    Médoc, 1m aux séries d’après le report, 1m20 aux grosses, 7s de période, pas très propre.
    Bref pas top, mais ça poussait un peu quand même.
    Mon gabarit, 1m66 pour 71kg.

    La rame est top bien entendu, et le truc super c est de pouvoir passer la barre à genoux pour revenir au pic, on économise beaucoup d’énergie, d’autant que la largeur de la planche rend la rame allongée un peu fatiguante à la longue.
    Une fois arrivé, on peut même rester un peu à genoux pour avoir une meilleure vue sur ce qui arrive.

    La planche part facilement.
    Une fois le bottom turn fait (merci le rail semi rigide à l arrière, ça aide je pense), on suit la vague avec beaucoup de stabilité.
    La glisse est moins bonne en gonflable qu en rigide, sans surprise, mais ce n’ est pas très gênant, ça fait le job.
    Et puis la sécurité apportée par le gonflable m a rendu beaucoup plus téméraire.
    Je suis parti sur des vagues qui m auraient intimidé en rigide. Y a un côté fun à “charger” sur ces engins !
    Bref très bon achat, une planche qui met en confiance.
    Et le tout qui tient dans un gros sac à dos.

  2. Galtain

    La rame est trèèèès facile. C’est une planche qui part très facilement au take-off mais il faut partir sur la face plate de la vague pour que ça marche. Les manœuvres doivent se faire en douceur. L’épaisseur des rails ne leur permet pas d’être plantés au bottom ni si on surfe trop près du curl. Toujours est-il que c’est une planche qui semble adapté pour les débutants. Elle est facile à prendre en main. Comme je l’ai acheté pour les zamis et la famille de passage pour les sessions estivales, ça devrait être nickel.

  3. Stephane

    Bonjour, j ai acheté la version longboard en 9. Mon gabarit 1.95 pour 92 kg. Cette planche permet très rapidement de prendre du plaisir surtout pour un débutant, se lever est facile tant la planche est stable, je peux tenir debout façon paddle. Même pour un grand gabarit qui n aide pas dans ce sport, cette planche permet sous réserve d avoir un minimum de conditions physiques de progresser rapidement.

  4. Benoît (verified owner)

    Planche 9′ testée hier dans des vagues d’1m un peu brouillonnes, j’en suis très satisfait.
    Une planche que j’ai choisi volontairement un peu surdimensionnée au regard de mon gabarit (1m66, 71kg), ca rame très bien, c’est super stable, je peux remonter au pic et passer la barre en ramant à genoux donc je ne me fatigue pas et je garde mon énergie pour prendre des vagues.
    En surf la glisse est moins bonne qu’une rigide, mais ca passe, et le côté sécurisant du gonflable (pour soi et pour les autres) compense en donnant le courage de tenter plus de trucs. Avec le gonflable en général, en surf il y a un coup à prendre car c’est un peu différent, mais on s’y fait. En tous cas pour moi qui ne demande qu’à faire un bottom turn et à suivre la vague sans grosses manœuvres c’est très bien.
    Une planche passe partout qui servira à la fois de planche d’initiation pour ma femme, les invités de passage etc. et de “mule à tout faire” pour moi, soit quand c’est petit, soit quand je n’ai pas la place de transporter une planche rigide.

    J’ai commandé cette semaine un surf gonflable GONG de longueur 8′. Livraison en deux jours. Je veux simplement mettre un avis sur la réactivité du service Gong. Après plusieurs tentatives de paiements par carte et échecs de règlement je me suis “emmêlé les pinceaux” et retrouvé avec 3 retraits sur mon compte correspondant à:
    une bonne livraison en deux jours et deux commandes en attente pour le même produit. Un simple message sur leur site et mon erreur a été “rattrapée” deux heures plus tard.
    Un grand Merci à Clara pour son efficacité. ( qu’aurais-je fait avec trois surfs alors que je ne sais à peine me servir d’un !!!)

  6. Ant Lrx

    En 8′ est c’est top pour toute la famille. Ça surf par contre un peu moins bien qu’un bon shape mousse, du moins pour un pierre Surfer comme moi ?

  7. Pierre-André

    J ai une 8 depuis 2 ans
    J en suis ravi ça aide bien à apprendre et progresser

  8. Guy Pascucci

    Acheter et après 2 semaines de surf dans les Landes que du bonheur facile stable rapide franchement que demander de plus respect Gong je parle même pas du prix nickel sur toute la ligne ???

  9. Sergio

    J’ai découvert par hasard les surf gonflables GONG, et je suis vraiment agréablement surpris du matos.
    En tant que débutant, J’ai acheté une 8´0 et cela fait deux semaines que je surf tous les jours, et c’est l’éclate à chaque session !!!
    Que ce soit sur des ptites vagues glassy, de la whitewater, ou bien du 2m courte ou longue, difficile de ne pas se lever.
    La flottaison permet une rame efficace; facile et peu fatiguante je trouve.
    Seul bémol les roller et autres manœuvres, sont impossible à réaliser pour ma part pour le moment. Je vais tout droit façon old school… mais ça reste bien fun quand même ^^
    Pour les grosses vagues, impossibles non plus de faire le duckdive.

    Bonjour,
    J’ai commandé la semaine dernière un surf gonflable GONG de longueur 8′ : mon objectif est de continuer à me perfectionner en tant que débutant.
    Reçu le colis en 3 jours. Suivi du colis parfait.
    Le surf est d’excellente qualité et très beau. Le gonflage/dégonflage est très facile est rapide ainsi que la pose et dépose des dérives FCS 2.
    Concernant le sac, il est très bien conçu et pratique.
    Bref, je trouve que pour un prix somme toute modéré, GONG offre un produit très bien conçu et qui vaut largement un softboard mousse beaucoup plus encombrant. C’est un choix qui facilite grandement la vie des personnes qui, comme moi, veulent surfer occasionnellement ou souvent, mais sans se prendre la tête pour le transport. Merci à GONG de proposer ce produit .
    Bien évidemment, je n’ai pu le tester en réel mais je pense, vu la rigidité et la qualité de construction, que je pourrai surfer sans problème avec ce matériel de très bonne qualité.

  11. Marc (verified owner)

    Board 8.0, riders weight 90kg. La qualité est super. prix hyper correct. la planche est belle et rigide. le sac à dos et la pompe sont également de grande qualité. la planche de surf fonctionne bien. nous n’avons pu le tester que par petites vagues.

  12. Xavier D (verified owner)

    J’ai débuté l’an dernier avec des planches en mousse (7’ et 7’4), j’arrivais un peu à me lever dans les mousses et je commençais à tenter les virages sans réel succès pour l’instant.
    Là je viens de tester la 8’ c’est vraiment simple pour se lever dans les mousses, c’est tellement simple de prendre les vagues que l’on a envie de tout prendre comme a déjà dit Emmanuel P.
    En plus j’ai eu l’impression qu’elle pardonnait un peu les take-off limites car elle est très stable, les pads sont aussi très bien les pieds ne glissent pas du tout.
    En tout cas je m’amuse énormément maintenant il ne reste plus qu’à progresser un peu ?. Il faudra voir dans le temps comment elle vieillit.
    Le seul point négatif c’est la largeur pour le transport il faut le bras long ou prévoir des sangles pour la transporter sur la plage pour ceux qui la gonfle à la voiture.
    Merci pour ce très bon produit.
    En résumé c’est un investissement que je ne regrette pas. J’avais beaucoup hésité après avoir discuté avec la monitrice qui m’avait enseigné, il me recommandé de prendre une planche en mousse même si elle reconnaissait ne jamais avoir testé. Pour le transport en voiture c’est quand même plus simple la gonflable.

  13. Emmanuel P

    Jeune et humble débutant de 49 ans :\…. J’ai acheté la 8′. 1m85 75kg. Jamais réussi à me lever sue la 7.6 mini n’ose rigide du fiston avec en plus la peur de me prendre la planche sur le nez en tombant. Donc je ne suis pas une flèche c’est sûr et pas une grosse condition physique :(.. mais je dois avouer que je m’amuse comme un gosse avec ce truc qui ressemble qd même à un surf. Ça glisse sur tout. C’est stable et ça flotte^^. Je me lève (faut pas vagues creuse ni de plus de 60cm à mon niveau) et restait dessus au bout de 1 séance. On prend vraiment confiance. J’ai essayé avant des mousses mais sans trop succès. Le seul défaut c’est quon veut toujours tt prendre du coup jai pas encore la “vista”. La qualité est bluffante pour le prix. C’est super rigide alors que juste 7.5 depaisseur. La finition et accessoires pompe sacs très bien. Une amélioration peut être : une poignée pour le portage car sous le bras c’est large. Bon vu le prix… La solution je transporte dégonflé plié en 3 puis 2min sur la plage c’est gonflé. Idem au retour. Je pense que je vais me laisser tenter par plus petit ds même série gonflable quand j’aurai plus d’expérience. En tout cas on progresse clairement avec ça car secu et pas d’apprehension. Bravo gong cet engin est très sympa.
