Surf Misty EPS Pro















Program
The perfectly balanced noserider between stability and maneuverability for small to medium waves.
Presentation
The Misty is an intermediate board in the fully dedicated classic noseriding range, ideally positioned between the Winstone and the Pinta.
It borrows traditional noseriding codes while delivering an optimal balance between extreme stability and subtle maneuverability thanks to precise shape choices and revolutionary EPS Pro technology in carbon.
Its generously distributed surface includes a square tail with soft lines but a notably wide rear quarter. This surface, combined with significant volume and a well-proportioned round nose, makes the Misty a benchmark for fluid noserides and elegant movement on small to medium waves.
This wide tail holds a large volume of water when noseriding, creating a strong lever effect that automatically lifts and stabilizes the nose. You’re thus carried in perfect balance with a path that naturally stays on or above the trim line.
The much steeper and more accentuated rocker in the rear is the defining feature of this shape. It moderates the board’s natural speed to prevent it from rushing out of the pocket too early. We want nose time, not a board that escapes as soon as you step forward.
The sharply lifted rocker in the rear third shapes the rail curve to naturally bring the board back into the wave, greatly boosting noseriding performance. This pronounced tail rocker also improves maneuverability and facilitates turns, despite the board’s significant surface area.
The Misty’s rails, true to traditional 50/50s, offer extremely smooth and fluid glide. However, the tail is sharp with hard rails at the very end to maintain glide despite the strong kick tail, and to radicalize powerful turns.
The carbon EPS Pro technology further sets the Misty apart. This innovative construction gives it unmatched responsiveness in its category of longboards. Contrary to popular belief, this rigidity maintains the shape's consistency under load, ensuring refined handling and enhanced precision—enriching every movement on the board and maximizing nose time.
The Misty paddles early and maintains flawless flow. This board is designed for surfers looking for the ultimate balance between extreme nose stability and easy tail maneuverability.
For fluid noserides and a harmonious, aesthetic glide, the Misty embodies perfect balance within GONG’s reinterpretation of the classic noserider.
Outline
The Misty’s outline is extreme, inspired by pig shapes but with width at the nose. The rear third remains highly supportive, just like the nose. The outline curve is pronounced in the rear quarter to reduce turning radius and add surface under the tail for stability when noseriding.
The mid-width is moderate for a board of this volume, preserving excellent paddle ability.
Rocker
The Misty’s rocker is unique. It’s very low at the nose and steepens dramatically near the tail. It’s almost a “top rocker,” emphasizing the Misty’s ability to hold water on the tail and stay perfectly in the pocket, maximizing nose time.
Naturally, a flat nose and lifted tail enhance glide up front and radicalize stalls and turns.

Buying guide
For whom?
The Misty is for longboarders passionate about noseriding, seeking a classic board reimagined with modern performance tools to maximize nose time and maneuverability.
It suits both experienced longboarders and intermediate surfers wanting to refine their style and explore the classic log repertoire.
The Misty is not a versatile all-rounder or a radical modern longboard: it’s for those who want ultra-stylish glide, clean lines, stalls, and flow at the nose.
For what?
This board is built for nosework, not radical maneuvers. The wide tail and specialized rocker naturally lock the board into the line with ease, ensuring perfect stability during noserides.
With the Misty, everything is designed to match your surfing to the wave and extract its essence. It naturally fits into the right path and lets the surfer focus on placement and style—without struggle or loss of control.
Ideal waves?
The Misty is shaped for small to medium waves, where it can fully express itself.
It excels from knee- to shoulder-high in long, mellow waves where you can draw clean lines and maximize time at the nose.
Perfect for pointbreaks, slow beachbreaks, and spots that peel cleanly without much power.
Not intended for heavy surf or very fast conditions—this shape prioritizes glide and control, not radicalism.
What size?
What fins?
Fin choice plays a crucial role in how the Misty rides.
- A single fin (10” to 11”) is recommended, with a wide base for maximum control and stability during noserides. It may limit speed and agility.
- A pivot-style fin will maintain trim and lock the board under the nose if over 10”. Offers more speed and freedom than a wide, full-length fin.
- For more responsiveness and playful surf, a slightly more raked fin can be used, but Misty’s spirit is about restrained, elegant glide—not enhanced maneuverability.
- Single fin setup is essential to respect Misty’s pure noserider program and fully enjoy its unique flow.
