GONG Factory Surf 5'6 Alu EPS Pro SURF Custom Second Hand 9816
Program
Acceleration and wicked airs, the Alu is ideal in mediocre waves and has the potential to create a very modern and aerial surf.
Presentation
On this board, the hull is laminated with basalt fibre for optimum flexibility in choppy conditions, while the rigidity is provided by a biaxial carbon fibre deck. The custom boards created in our workshop are true works of art. We put all our know-how into designing these exceptional objects, which are both noble and high-performance, for a unique riding experience. The double bat tail guarantees maximum responsiveness, giving you amazing rail-to-rail performance. If you’ve only got one shortboard, it’s an Alu! Unless you’re staying in front of the Pipe, chances are your usual conditions are waves that need a lot of boost and pep. That’s the definition of this board. We’ve got a thin front third but with a bit of thickness, on the order of a few millimetres, for comfort when rowing. Its ultra-modern look invites you to send airs and 360 pops in all directions! With the rocker and rails of a competition board, a slightly wiser volume distribution and a clearly maximised surface area between the supports, the Alu is an essential board for your quiver.

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…
