Program
The Steez Wood Flex is the high-end forgiving twin tip for maximum power, pop and responsiveness in Big Air, Freestyle and Freeride with a touch of comfort.
Presentation
The Steez Wood Flex is the forgiving board for freeride and freestyle. It’s the best of dynamism.
This very elaborated, yet subtle shape provides the perfect balance between high performance, comfort and versatility!
The Steez Wood Flex surprises with its incredible dynamism and its smoothness, which is enhanced by its construction. It’s a true performance board that delivers at the highest level. However, even terribly choppy conditions feel like powder snow. So nice to boost huge airs with no fear of a sketchy landing, or to accelerate hard without gritting your teeth...
The elaborated design of the hull that guides the water perfectly, its strategically refined rails, its deck plan which defines and distributes the flex, its biaxial fiberglass with carbon stringers, its Paulownia core; everything contributes to a crazy pop to send it and go high.
Its versatility and smoothness should not make you forget about its preferred field: Big Air!!! Reach for full speed, go full send, and make the landing stick. The Steez is a board for sending the big stuff!!!
The combo of Paulownia core wood, a benchmark for high-end boards, and biaxial fiberglass, is ideal to offer you a medium flex perfectly suited to a freeride/freestyle use. Combined with a French biosourced resin and a matte finish resistant to micro-scratches, this construction is super beautiful, clean, and durable.
In summary, GONG offers you the high-end twin tip that will meet your needs for excellence in freestyle and freeride with no compromise on comfort.
This concentrate of efficiency is a real sensation booster!
OUTLINE
Its Medium Curve Outline makes for an ultra versatile board.
The tips have surface for a monstrous pop in freestyle and give it maximum character.
A big air machine, the Steez has an outline that’s perfect for edging hard, but without making any full speed mistakes when boosting or landing.
TOP SHAPE
The precisely structured reliefs of the deck optimizes control of flex and dynamism zones for maximum performance.
By designing more or less protruding reliefs, we control the dynamic behavior of the board. In opposition to a flat deck whose dynamic behavior is only defined by the thickness of the board.
There’s a taut line near the rail. This mountain edge adds two additional edges to the classic volume drop around the rails, which has several effects:
The 3 edges stiffen the board longitudinally. More dynamism, more pop, less flex.
This addition of rigidity located on the outline of the board acts as strategic stringers.
They add rigidity, allowing to remove volume and therefore weight!!!
They allow certain central zones to be hollowed out to save weight in neutral zones.
This mountain edge directs the flows which are flush with the bridge to optimize the grip of the rails.
The mountain edge does not follow the outline. It is pinched at the fins to let the rail penetrate clearly into the water if necessary.
It is close to the rail at the heels/toes to avoid edging errors by not letting the rail go too deep without reacting (it edges just enough). It's obvious in the carves: we feel that we maintain a smoothness, a lift, a balance.
Between the heels/toes it moves away from the outline, thus allowing clear edging around the attack zone of the rail in the water when at full speed. By bringing this mountain edge in, we also add a little bit of flex in the central area so as not to overload the rider.
At the core of the board, the internal edge of the mountain edge moves closer to the center and the handle. It tapers down to add flex and therefore this little bit of very pleasant comfort. And it removes more volume and therefore weight between the feet.
At the tips, we find a concave in resonance with the bottom tunnel. This concave almost halves the central thickness of the tips. More flex, less weight, and a bit of twist so that the board absorbs excess power.
Between this central concave and the end of the mountain edges at the tips, our shaper also added a longitudinal Concave V which connects the heels/toes to the tips. Our dominant plantar contact points are directly linked to the critical area of the board. Maximum responsiveness.
BOTTOM SHAPE
An ultra-worked hull:
- a concave V in the center over the entire length. The concave will tunnel the flows for more speed. The V will absorb the impacts. And the whole thing will stiffen/energize the board.
- the side channel which goes from one fin to another with maximum intensity in the center of the board, will capture water to direct it and extract it near the fin. More grip, more sharpness in the drive, and like all reliefs: more rigidity and less weight.
- the Simmons channel forms an ogive which accelerates the exiting flows. We favor the flow on the fins and at the end of the board for more freedom in rail to rail, more edging and more acceleration.
We gain a clear grip on the pop with an insane upwind edging. Landing is cushioned thanks to perfect diffusion of flows from the center to the ends.
This hull will also “smooth” the spot. Even on a super choppy surface, we really gain in comfort. It’s simply stunning!
MEDIUM SQUARE TIPS
The tips are square with recesses and angulations to follow the work of the entire shape.
They promote the overall dynamics of the board and its perfect grip.
This very precise modulation of the water exits is the exact response to the balance of edging / softness that we wanted. Back foot pressure to pop hard, just enough to stay in control.
PROGRESSIVE ROCKER
The rocker of the Steez has been designed for great pop while maintaining comfort.
Almost constant, it accelerates at the tips but without a central break like on more relaxed freeride boards. We want speed and clean, precise edging. The heart of the board is therefore “flatter”.
The tips, on the other hand, have an accelerated curve to boost pop and responsiveness.
These millimeter variations make a real difference in behavior which gives the Steez its resolutely high-performance character.
45mm FINS
The Steez's GONG fins are 45mm deep for perfect grip in all conditions. This is the ideal depth to maintain the necessary grip in an imperfect body of water.
These fins benefit from our expertise in the world of foiling and flow simulation. They have an ultra modern profile and outline which gives high quality grip and excellent glide.

Which freestyle board to choose?
Steez Wood Flex: Perfect board for comfortable Freeride and Freestyle! We have a sharp freestyle shape, identical to the Carbon Pro version but with a less stiff and more forgiving biaxial fiberglass construction. Less pop than the Pro version, but more comfort in choppy conditions with less stress on the knees. No-brainer board for intermediate level freestylers.
Steez Carbon Pro: The performance Freestyle / Freeride board. The biaxial carbon construction gives maximum power when kiting. The pop is explosive and the board's response is immediate. Board to favor when looking for an explosive and light do-it-all board!
Sizzle Carbon Pro: Freestyle / Wakestyle Pro, the uncompromising high performance board! Best pop in the range, the size for solid landings, boots oriented. Model to choose for going full send, be it for kite or wake.
Wood Flex or Carbon Pro construction?
The Steez is produced in 2 different constructions, Wood Flex and Carbon Pro. The main thing that separates them is forgiveness and comfort.
The Wood Flex allows you to maintain a greater flex which cushions the body of water and will soften a slightly stiff surface. This is the one to favor if you are ok with sacrificing some performance for more comfort.
The Carbon Pro is the pinnacle of performance. This high-end construction provides the best balance of pop and nervousness, while lightening the board for limitless jumps! To be preferred if you are looking for uncompromising performance.
Is the Steez Carbon Pro lighter than the Wood Flex?
Yes, one of the many advantages of the Carbon Pro construction is precisely the gain in lightness! Less pendulum effect under the feet, your abs will thank you ;)
Carbon is also much more dynamic, each action will have an instant response, which will give more life to your board.
Does the board come with pads, straps and handle?
No. Our boards are delivered without pads, straps and handle, to allow you to choose the size and color that suits you perfectly ;)
Can we change the angle of the pads and the stance?
Yes you can. Our TT range has 3 different stance possibilities and our pads and straps allow you to open the angle and move forward and backward to best suit different styles and sizes.
Can we change the size of the fins?
Yes, the Steez Wood Flex comes with 45mm fins for maximum versatility between grip and maneuverability. Depending on your use, you can modify them to be shorter in wakestyle mode or longer to improve grip.
