Surf 9'0 Moodgun EPS Pro
Programme
A streamlined longboard designed for taking on powerful, hollow waves with precision and control.
Présentation
The Moodgun is the counterpart to the renowned Moodrive, crafted for conditions that go with radicality and commitment.
Featuring a narrow, gunny shape, this board is made for surfers who want to challenge themselves in bigger, more powerful waves, prioritizing precision and control above all.
The Moodgun takes a different path from the Moodrive and Hyperdrive, leaving behind noseriding and retro log turns to embrace a more dynamic, aggressive style. Its narrower nose and compact rear OFO give it the feel of a gun in powerful waves. It’s the perfect longboard for surfers who want to attack with confidence while still riding a longboard with full control.
The Moodgun is designed for committed surfing. It excels in hollow conditions where speed and positioning are crucial. More maneuverable and radical than other models in the range, it encourages precise and sharp maneuvers, bringing it closer to the performance of a shortboard while maintaining the essence of a longboard.
With less surface area at the nose, it’s not designed for hang ten purists. Instead, it’s a finely tuned machine built for carving strong lines, tackling steep, hollow waves with confidence, and executing tight maneuvers while staying fully in control. It offers exceptional trajectory precision, just like a big wave gun.
A feline longboarder will instinctively enjoy carving this board in smaller conditions. In this setting, the Moodgun becomes a highly responsive and radical board, offering minimal inertia in rail-to-rail transitions. It delivers millimeter-precise placement and quick acceleration, just like a shortboard, while still maintaining the effortless early wave entry of a longboard. Could this be the best of both worlds?
Featuring EPS Pro construction, the Moodgun benefits from the same cutting-edge technology as GONG's other high-end models. The full carbon build on an EPS base provides outstanding rigidity and dynamism, crucial for handling heavy waves. Its lightweight, ultra-responsive nature enables razor-sharp precision when engaging the wave, while optimizing acceleration in critical sections.
To sum it up, the Moodgun is the perfect board for longboarders who want to charge powerful waves with a highly radical approach. It represents the final step before moving to a full-on gun, blending exceptional maneuverability, control, and power while staying true to the essence of longboarding.
OUTLINE
Crafted for superior control in heavy, hollow waves, the Moodgun features a streamlined outline. Its narrower nose, compared to the Moodrive, shifts the focus from noseriding to pure speed and precision in steep sections. The refined tips and compact tail enable sharp, controlled turns, even in the most demanding conditions. Meanwhile, the moderate width strikes the perfect balance between paddling efficiency and outstanding agility.
ROCKER
The Moodgun features a pronounced rocker with an important and progressive curve that enhances grip and responsiveness in hollow waves. This pronounced rocker, characteristic of gunny shapes, allows for effortless positioning on steep faces and enables precise, committed maneuvers. The overall curvature is designed to strike the perfect balance between high-speed control and maneuverability in critical sections.
HULL
The hull of the Moodgun is designed for stability and speed. A flat entry with a concave spoon shape ensures precise control when dropping into steep waves, while the flat center section generates speed without compromising control. The exit features a double concave V-shape from the fins to the tail, providing clean and efficient glide, enabling quick transitions and precise wave reading.
TAIL
The Moodgun’s tail, a sharp baby diamond, is designed for extreme precision in turns and maximum stability in powerful conditions. Its compact and refined shape ensures perfect grip in hollow sections while making tight, committed turns easier. This tail is a true asset for unlocking the radical potential of this model.
RAILS
The Moodgun’s rails are pinched and well-defined to maximize grip in powerful, fast waves. Their gunny profile ensures exceptional responsiveness, even in demanding conditions. These rails provide perfect hold in tight lines, delivering absolute control.

Buying guide
For whom?
The Moodgun is designed for longboarders seeking a board that can handle solid conditions with control and precision. It’s built for those who want to charge steeper, faster waves where a classic longboard would quickly reach its limits.
This board is ideal for advanced surfers looking for a more aggressive and responsive longboard, without going full gun with a point nose. It also appeals to those who want to retain the essence of longboarding while riding a board capable of delivering radical performance, much like a shortboard.
While a noserider like the Frank focuses on extended nose riding and the Hyperdrive excels as a high-performance longboard, the Moodgun takes a different approach. It’s built for total control and extreme maneuverability, excelling in tight, aggressive turns and committed lines.
For what?
The Moodgun is designed to harness the wave’s power, enabling a technical and committed style of surfing. Its gunny shape, featuring a narrower outline and refined tips, ensures solid hold in waves where a traditional longboard would feel bulky.
Sitting between a longboard and a gun, it’s the perfect choice for those who want to charge heavy waves with control and confidence without jumping straight into a pure big-wave shape.
This board excels in committed bottom turns, powerful cutbacks, and steep drops while maintaining the signature glide of a modern longboard.
Why only one size?
The Moodgun is available in a single optimized size because it provides the perfect balance of control, paddling efficiency, and maneuverability in solid waves.
- A length designed to generate speed and ensure confident take-offs, even on fast waves.
- Just the right volume for efficient paddling, avoiding excess that could compromise control on the wave.
- A narrower nose to prevent drag from chop or excessive catch on vertical lines.
- A sharp tail for precise pivoting and optimal grip in turns.
With this one-size approach, the Moodgun delivers uncompromised performance in powerful waves.
What are the ideal waves?
The Moodgun is designed for solid and demanding conditions.
It truly shines in waves from 1m to 2.50m and above, where a traditional longboard would be difficult to control. Its streamlined outline and pronounced rocker enable solid commitment, keeping speed and hold even in critical sections, making it perfect for:
Hollow reef breaks where quick take-offs and holding the line are crucial.
Heavy beach breaks where speed and agility make all the difference.
Rapid point breaks where mastering turns is essential to fully capitalize on a long, powerful wave.
It can still work in mellower conditions for surfers seeking precise control in a technical approach, but it’s in heavy waves that it really shines.
That said, be mindful not to snap it in half. Solid longboarding conditions inevitably lead to breakage at some point—that’s the game, even with top-tier technology.
Which fin setup?
The Moodgun comes in a 2+1 setup, featuring a US Box center fin and two FCS II side fins, providing an optimal balance of grip, maneuverability, and speed.
- A 2+1 setup with a 7’’ to 8’’ center fin and FCS II side fins offers an excellent mix of control and drive. This setup ensures perfect grip on fast lines while maintaining great maneuverability in tight turns.
- Opting for a smaller center fin (6’’ to 7’’) with strong side fins makes the board more reactive and playful, ideal for explosive maneuvers.
- In a pure thruster setup, the focus shifts to vivacity and acceleration, making the board even more playful and radical for airs, 360s, helicopters, and other progressive maneuvers.
- A single fin with a larger 9’’ to 10’’ center fin offers more control and flow for extended lines but will trade off speed and snap in tighter turns.
Equipments
Each board is fitted with a leash plug, two FCS II side boxes, and a US Box center fin slot for a high-performance setup. The package includes:
1 GONG Full Fiber 7″ (180mm) center fin (US Box).
2 FCS II Glass Flex side fins.
1 reinforced center US Box.
2 FCS II fin boxes.
Concrete Fixed plug at the tail to ensure you never lose your board.
