Acceleration and wicked airs, the Alu is ideal in mediocre waves and has the potential to create a very modern and aerial surf.

Presentation

L’Ours proposes a new Shape for the Alu to modernize this Board and make it even more efficient in its core program: the everyday waves.

If you can only have one Shortboard, it’s the Alu one!

Unless you are staying in front of Pipeline, chances are your usual conditions will be waves that require a lot of boost and relaunch. This is the definition of the Alu.

We still keep front third thin but with a little thickness, about a few millimeters, through the center for rowing comfort.

The tail is revisited with some park style sauce added! We have a wide diamond tail that propels the Alu into Mach II at the first impulse.

This strong presence of the rear foot is skillfully balanced by a set of wingers just behind the release point of the lateral ones to loosen up the tail at the end of the turns.

The hull work is also designed for water release and make it easier to get on the rail. Its ultra-modern look invites you to blast 360 pops and airs in all directions! The quad is no longer trend, and yet it is the fetish Fin set-up of the Alu that you’ll find in these two rear quad laterals a clear and precise support grip to push your moves to their fullest, even in soft waves.

A rocker and rails that scream competition, a more intelligent volume distribution, and a clearly maximized surface between the supports; this is what makes the Alu the essential board in your quiver.

Ideal Waves

Size: from a knee size to a decent man’s size.
Strength: she gives her best in soft waves but not only that ?
Type: it really goes everywhere but prefers the glassy, like all of us do.

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…
