Outline

With its very short no-nose outline, the Fronteira keeps only the essentials for maximum responsiveness. It offers an incredible feeling of lightness, dynamic, and freedom under your feet.

Nose

Large square nose for maximum lift and forgiveness, with a pronounced V underneath to absorb touchdowns in choppy water, even with a steep angle. It also provides additional stiffness.

Tail

The large square tail ensures immediate planning and minimizes touchdowns. The width at the rear foot is minimal to make touchdowns as rare and painless as possible. The tail is a magnificent squash tail, reminiscent of the finest shortboards, combining glide and lift.

Deck

Flat deck for control and driving precision.

Carène

Flat hull at the tail with a pronounced V under the nose for more control during touchdowns.

Rails

Rails are perfectly designed, providing a beautiful consistency to the board. Neither too thick nor too thin, they limit the impact of touchdowns and allow confident grabbing at moon heights, while maintaining a hidden volume that enhances usability of the board. The chamfered edges soften touchdowns and easier grabs. The rails have a slight and discreet sidewall that optimizes stiffness and resistance to potential impacts.

Strapped pocket board

In Freestyle and fitted with its straps and new pad, the Fronteira offers a perfect control and astonishing ease even in the craziest tricks.

It's the ultimate pocket board for big air.

Freeride, Freerace board

In Freerace and Freeride, the Fronteira HDCC is a board that provides comfort and precision at every moment.

Your foil’s control and your sensations of speed have never been so intense.

The HDCC revolution

Resistance and Durability:

High temperature molding provides a better bond between fibers and resin, increasing mechanical strength and durability under high stresses. The mechanical properties of the board remain stable even when exposed to high temperatures.

Lightness and responsiveness:

The full carbon prepreg lamination allows homogeneous and optimized distribution of the resin. All excess weight is removed without compromising strength. The boards are thus lighter and more efficient.

Precision:

Molds allow parts to be manufactured with ultra-precise tolerances. This improves the aerodynamics and hydrodynamics of the products.

High Density foam blank:

The foam blank used is an extremely expensive and efficient hydrophobic material used in aeronautics. It provides exceptional structural rigidity and longevity while maintaining a light weight.

Zero waste:

Unlike manual lamination which can result in excess resin and fiber, in-molded manufacturing optimizes material usage, minimizing waste and reducing the environmental footprint of production.

Low price:

The lower price compared to this exceptional technology is due to the efficiency of construction. Less human labor (about a quarter) equals lower expenses. Simply, with this board, you're primarily investing in well-assembled premium materials.

HDCC Technology

These boards have the high-performance HDCC (High Density Core & Carbon) technology. The manufacturing process is akin to that of a foil wing. The board is manufactured from aerospace-grade prepreg carbon fiber and a high-density foam core with mechanical properties that ensure structural cohesion and hydrophobicity in case of damage.

In a nutshell, it’s strong, stiff, and very lightweight

Industry-standard prepreg carbon fibers are positioned on the high-density foam core. Carbon H-stringers and full prepreg boxes are also placed before compression in a steel mold heated to 155°C to polymerize the resin. Mold pressure combined with high temperature ensures perfect layer cohesion to guarantee exemplary performance and durability.

Subsequently, the board is extracted from the mold. Board logos are applied. A thin layer of matte varnish is then applied to protect the board. The pad is glued, and the board is ready to ride!

This technology involves no sanding, hence no production waste. There's no sanding of the shape as it's molded, no sanding of the laminations which are pressed and fused, and no sanding of the hot coats which are integrated directly into the molding process. It's extremely costly to implement but the result is impeccably clean.

All our prototyping phases are tested on our own test benches. HDCC boards easily pass resistance tests with loads exceeding several hundred kilograms on the front foot.

The lower price compared to this exceptional technology is due to the efficiency of construction. Less human labor (about a quarter) equals lower expenses. Simply, with this board, you're primarily investing in well-assembled premium materials.

At GONG, our boards are top-of-the-line. Our competitive pricing is only possible due to direct sales, which eliminate intermediary markups. If, unfortunately, you break them, they are fully repairable with components we keep in stock for your favourite shape.

Buying guide

For whom ?

The Fronteira 4’0 is aimed at experts looking for maximum performances in freestyle and big air with an ultra-compact board.

For kitefoiling, it aimed to riders from intermediate to expert levels.

For those looking for versatility in dock/ beach starts, it's ideal for beginners to intermediate levels.

For what ?

Almost everything we love about kitefoiling but pushed to the extreme: freerace, freestyle, waves, and more.

You want to do tricks: it's made for that.

You want to dock and beach start: its stiffness makes it an excellent board even with giant wings.

You want to jump: the HDCC construction is made for that.

You want to surf: its shape is perfect.

You want to ride strapless: its dimensions invite you 100%

What is the ideal foil ?

The Fronteira will work perfectly with our foils, especially:

The Curve (S & M, or L) for easy riding in all-round freeride mode.

The Fluid (S, M & L) and Veloce (S, M & L) for increased glide speed and maneuverability.

For speed lovers, all XS and S sizes in Ypra-S, Veloce H, and Ypra.

Usually, very small surface area stabilizers like the Fluid 38 for example.

You can also opt for a Freestyle stab with a shorter fuselage for enhanced responsiveness and reduce turns.

Alternatively, opt for the easy performance option with a small-sized Curve stab.

The cherry on the cake is to upgrade this foil with a 100cm Carbon V2 mast or an HM 92 carbon mast.

And for the pumping ?

All the Sirus, Curve H, Fluid H giant wings will be perfect with an HM72 or HM79 mat.

Which is the ideal kite ?

In freestyle, big air and kiteloop, it will be perfect with an Ayto or a Vertigo, according to your preferences.

It's also fabulous with a Strutless for performance in winds below 20 knots. This kite is close to a race kite in its abilities, but with the safety of the inflatable edge. It flies in nothing and allows crazy upwinds, while remaining easy to handle. Ideal

But the Fronteira is also very close to the Unik, which will give you a lot of manoeuvrability to go on countless curves.

Equipments

2 US GONG Box Double Entry for standard foil plates equipped with 4 screw + nuts (9cm center distance). Compatible with our SCS system. This new system allows ultra-fast assembly of GONG foils. (INSERTS NOT SUPPLIED WITH THE BOARD).
New 5 mm Ridge Traction deck pad : deck covering designed for great comfort and absolute grip.
1 x GONG footstrap light and 1 x GONG V-shaped footstrap light (screw kit included).
5 x footstraps inserts with 5 positions each to optimize your position on the board.

Double entry US box system

The whole range of kitefoil boards is upgraded with our double entry US box system to accommodate the SCS system that equips all our recent foil boards. It is so easy to install your foil with this system that you will save time on the water.

With the SCS nuts connected by the composite rods, the nuts on the top plate are automatically perfectly set. You just need to position the top plate over the 4 entries, insert the nuts all at once, slide the foil back to the chosen position and in two turns of the key per screw the foil is mounted. The GONG double entry box facilitates the assembly and adjustment of the foil! Performance without the hassle. When dismantling the foil, you can leave the nuts and the screws on the top plate, just loosen the screws, remove the foil and off you go! It is the plug and play solution which facilitates adjustments (SCS nuts not supplied with the board).
