Description

An Artisanal Hand shaped Board. 

Tinted Resin and glossy hand polished finish make this Board an object of desire.

These Boards are shaped and decorated by L’Ours himself here at our Workshop in La Baule gives these Boards a distinguished ’Made in La France’ labeling.

Function: 

Simmons : boards that perform very well in practically all conditions due their natural speed but excel in average mushy waves.

 Introduction: 

The mini Simmons concept revisited by l’Ours. Wide board, extra wide tail, concave on the bottom in the back and convex under the nose. 

The volume, the glide, early take offs….. the ingredients for a perfect board in average waves. 

It’s a board that gambles evrything on the planning, so you get a board strong with rebound and that passes through the sections like nothing. 

The felling of this board is demonic; you can surf the rails with finesse AND power at the same time, the speed is crazy!!! 

The maneuverability will surprise you as much as its handling in more serious waves. 

This is the GONG version of Simmons concept. A super wide tail with a deep concave in the back on the bottom and a convex belly under the nose. 

The board is super fast, even on very slow waves.

You think it’s going to be hard to turn? 

Give it a try and you will be totally amazed!!! Surfing a Simmons is a full-on experience of a global concept based on natural speed. 

The best tool for small surf. 

It’s THE board, quick , compact and surprisingly maneuverable in smaller waves. 

Ideal Waves:

  • Size: ankle to head high waves.
  • Strength: at her best in normal/average waves.
  • Type: all conditions.

Stability:

  • Less than 75 kg: easy if you already have some skills.
  • 75 kg to 95 kg: do-able for a proficient rider.
  • More than 95 kg: a little bit too small.
  • Skill minimum:  proficient surfer. To short for a beginner but easy for her size all things considered.

Shape
GLOBAL
  • Rocker: tight for maximum speed in smaller waves.
  • Rails: hard at the tail and rounded off at the nose marrying with the convex belly for a smoother feeling.

Delivery

Delivery delay

We indicate a preparation and shipping time of 3 working days. In reality, the majority of orders are shipped within 24/48 hours.

The delivery time, i.e. delivery time of the package to your home, then depends on the delivery location and the carrier.

We work with reliable and efficient carriers. 99% of shipments go perfectly and quickly. In the case of the remaining 1%, rest assured that we will do what is necessary with the carrier.

Shipping fees

Unlike other sites, shipping costs are not hidden behind the price of our products. You know exactly what shipping costs you, and you are not disadvantaged if you choose to collect your order at our GONG Space Center.

Shipping costs are calculated based on the weight and volume of each package, and your delivery address.

Tracking your package

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

Carriers

We work with the best transport societies to deliver to you throughout Europe and the world within very short deadlines. We chose them for their quality of service and their compliance with deadlines.

For mainland France, 80% of your orders arrive at their destination in less than 48 hours of processing.

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

For the rest of the world, delivery times depend on transit time and customs clearance time. This delay depends on customs and can last from a few days to a few weeks depending on the destination and seasonality.

Please note, transport time is added to preparation/shipping time. Two companies collaborate on your order (GONG and the carrier). Each one masters its activity and is committed to optimizing its deadlines so that you are delivered as quickly as possible and at a reasonable price.

Eco-responsible packaging

Preserving the environment is an absolute priority. This is why we do everything possible to reduce our ecological footprint.

The most important thing is to sell quality, durable products that will be repairable and will please you for a long time.

For our shipments, we use:


  • Scotch craft paper.

  • Final packaging in high-end cardboard.

  • For rigid boards: Flexi-Hex, very high resistance ecological packaging.

This means:


  • Reusable and recyclable packaging.

  • An almost total reduction in single-use plastic.

  • Maximum protection and impact resistance for rigid boards thanks to the innovative Flexi-Hex honeycomb design (35mm thick).


Receipt of your product

Upon delivery, check the condition of your package in the presence of the carrier. A complete explanation email on the procedure to follow will be sent to you when your order is shipped.

Despite our requirements and all the care we take in the packaging and protection of your product, transport hazards may occur, and your product may suffer more or less significant transport damage.

Note that the products are protected in their carton. If you have any doubts, simply refuse delivery and contact us.

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…
