High-end inflatable foil board 100% dedicated to performance.

Presentation

The HIPE Pro is the inflatable foil board for ultimate performance.

When traveling or on your home spot, it is the magic board to perform without any worry. It fits in a bag, inflates in two minutes and performs like a rigid board! What else ?

The sensations are so direct that you would swear to be on full composite. Firstly because our carbon plate covers the rider’s entire stance, and secondly because our technology is the best: way ahead!

From then on everything is possible: having chill sessions or sending it!!!

Its shape with a thin nose and tail concentrates the volume between your feet for maximum responsiveness.

The round tail avoids touchdowns in extreme carves and it improves the water exits of the hull for a takeoff 2 knots earlier, like on our rigid high performance boards.

The ICS Pro carbon plate, which takes up all the efforts of the foil and the rider, is lighter, more fluid, and even more rigid. You really have the performance of a rigid board, and the advantages of an inflatable one.

Our HIPE welded double layer Woven Dropstitch technology has been proven on thousands of GONG boards. It’s light, super strong, and really rigid! A true best-seller, our innovation is a game changer in practice because it combines simplicity and performance like no other.

 

The carbon plate is glued at high pressure to the hull of the inflatable structure. A large reinforcement is positioned under the plate, and a second one covers the outline of the ICS Pro plate for maximum rigidity and durability. This piece, made up of dozens of high-end prepreg carbon layers pressed at high temperature and two foam stringers, is a jewel of composite know-how. Its new design offers optimal rigidity with its vertical facets that block flex and channel water. The performance delivered by the HIPE Pro is totally comparable to a rigid board.

 Four box entries on the foil boxes designed to the stance of the top plate facilitate the assembly and adjustment of the foil on the ICS Pro carbon plate. Performance without the hassle. We leave the squares and the screws on the plate, we insert and screw and let’s go! The HIPE Pro comes with our Smart Connexion System (SCS) made of paired brass inserts. Setting up the foil is much faster and easier. It is the plug and play solution which facilitates settings!

 

In order to offer maximum performance, the HIPE PRO is equipped with the new GONG 2023 straps, a V-shape at the front and simple at the back. These ergonomic and lightweight straps have been specially developed for the practice of wing foiling. Your front foot is well centered for surfing, for example. The heel/toe feeling is perfect. And they are very easy to put on / take off.

The HIPE PRO opens up the same range of tricks and maneuvers as a rigid board with all the advantages of an inflatable one.

This board is also available in an all-inclusive pack: GONG PACK WING HIPE PRO

GONG has truly revolutionized the world of foilboards with the HIPE. The HIPE Pro with its new ICS Pro plate raises the bar even higher for the most demanding riders.

Your benefits are clear:

  • Ease of use, on land but also in the water.
  • Transportation of course.
  • Solidity because the inflatable does not fear shocks.
  • Safety if you hit your board.
  • 95% of the performance of a rigid.

Shape
In a nutshell
  • Rocker: flat enough to start early and glide well before the flight.
  • Rails: round because inflatable, very effective.
  • Volume: generous for each size.
  • Outline: compact to increase sensations and performance in flight.
  • Tail: round tail to boost take offs.
  • Nose: round point nose.
Hipe Pro in details

The shape of the HIPE Pro is designed for high performance wing foiling.

Its rocker is moderate at the nose. It is enough to make the landings of tricks, but not too much to keep gliding on the water before takeoff. At the tail we are flat to maximize acceleration before takeoff.

The rails are round, as on all inflatable boards. But we used this natural shape to help the water slide off the board. It does not stick to the rails, and this is even more true at the tail.

We designed the ICS Pro plate with a round tail to match the shape of the HIPE Pro. The tail is so fluid that it looks like a rigid Lethal Pro. It’s both elegant and efficient so as not to draw water before takeoff. We really fly earlier and with less effort.

The shape is compact and has a crazy vivacity. When landing tricks, we appreciate the generous volume for each size. The significant thickness brings a lot of comfort in pre-flight and ease to take off.

We love its unique glide on the water which is specific to inflatable boards. You take off easily, at least as fast as with a rigid board. It’s really stunning.

Buying guide

For whom?

You are looking for a high performance and hassle-free board, the HIPE Pro meets these specifications perfectly.

You must have a sufficient level:

  • Either you have a windsurfing background, it helps a lot to handle the wing.
  • Either you know how to fly a foil.
  • Either you already have a significant number of flight hours on a wing foil.
  • Either you are athletic.

In the big sizes, it is easy, but if you take a volume close to your weight, kneeling in the chop with thin tips will not be as easy as on a longer board or on a classic HIPE with its wide and comfortable tail.

So you have to be in good physical condition to be lively and have enough energy. And/or take a generous volume.

What for?

The HIPE Pro is the ultimate board to progress without complicating your life, it covers all programs, light wind, freeride, freestyle and waveriding. Brilliant in freeride, easy in surfing and perfect in tricks, it is limitless.

Its dynamic characteristics allow you to dare everything on the water. On land, it inflates and is stored away within a few minutes and there is no risk of shocks. This is the perfect board for traveling!

In wing, it is great for boosting your level. It’s the top level for performance in transitions, speed, heading, curves, surfing and tricks.

Which size ?


The HIPE Pro is a high performance wing board. But by playing on the volumes, you can adapt it to your needs:

Beginner

You should have enough volume to float, around your weight + 40 = volume.

  • Example: I weigh 80kg + 40 = L to float. Which means that with 120L and more I will be good.

Comfort

Have enough volume to float, around your weight + 15 = volume.

  • Example: I weigh 80kg + 15 = 95L to float. Which means that with 95L and more I will be easy, provided you have a good level in wing.

Sporty

You can also subliter it because the HIPE Pro is wide enough to be stable. So if you have a great level and want maximum responsiveness, you can switch to negative volumes.

Until your weight = volume you can go on your knees by leaning on the wing on the water.

  • Example: I weigh 80kg = 80L to slightly under-liter. Which means that with 80L my board will sink slightly when stopped and I should be precise and sporty at each start.

A small table that sums it all up :

Understanding the GONG range?

The concept of each board of the range can be summed up very simply:

  • HIPE First: the perfect inflatable board to learn wing foiling!
  • HIPE Free Fly: the best of strapless on an inflatable foil board.
  • HIPE Perf: the inflatable foil board with 95% of the performance of a rigid board, in an easy and scalable shape.
  • HIPE Cruzader Strapless: the strapless inflatable board with 95% of the performance of a rigid  board with an ultra specialized shape, ideal for light wind winging and chilled out SUP foiling.
  • HIPE Cruzader strapped : the inflatable board with 95% of the performance of a rigid  board with an ultra specialized shape, for the highest performance in light wind winging.
  • HIPE Pro: the inflatable board with 95% of the performance of a rigid one with a shape dedicated to advanced foilers who want fluidity and maximum responsiveness!
  • Mob 2taste: three sports in one board: SUP, SUP foiling and wing foiling.
  • Zuma: the easy rigid board for SUP foiling and wing foiling, and with good performance.
  • Lance: the compact Zuma, with great lateral stability, ideal for beginnings in wing foiling.
  • Cruzader: fantastic in SUP downwinders, pumping on the flat, but also in light wind conditions in wing foiling.
  • Flint: high performance in SUP foiling, great in wing foiling because it is simple and efficient in light wind.
  • Kube: pure freestyle board. Minimum length for maximum rotation.
  • Mint: compact without being too technical thanks to a perfect length and its round nose. Great performance in strapless too.
  • Lemon: maximum reactivity and liveliness, while maintaining stability.
  • Lethal: Absolute radicality among volume boards

Some will go for even more extreme with low volume boards like:

Which quiver partner?

The HIPE Pro is truly the performance inflatable foil board. So it will take a very large place in your sessions and a very small one in your quiver.

You can of course complete it with a range ofStand Up Paddleboards without foil. And surfboards for days when the waves are unsuitable for foiling.

  • XL for everyone in light conditions and the heavier riders in winds below 20 knots.
  • XXL for everyone in very light wind and the heavier riders in winds below 12 knots.

In the Fluid H range: wings with a crazy glide for a radical drive but easy and relatively fast:

  • S for those under 75kg or heavier riders in winds above 20 knots.
  • M for those under 85kg or heavier riders in winds above 15 knots.
  • L for everyone and heavier riders in winds above 12 knots.
  • XL for everyone in light conditions and the heavier riders in winds below 20 knots.
  • XXL for everyone in very light wind and the heavier riders in winds below 12 knots.

In the Veloce H range: fast wings with a crazy glide that love curves, and still are easy at low speed:

  • XL for those under 85kg in winds under 8/10 knots or the heavier riders in winds under 15 knots.
  • XXL for those under 95kg in winds under 6/8 knots or the bigger riders in winds less than 12 knots.
  • 3XL for everyone in the very light wind and the bigger riders in winds under 10 knots.

At this level, everyone can adapt their equipment to their needs. Just remember that the wingspan is a point to take into consideration when riding high aspect ratios. The glide is fabulous, but be careful not to sacrifice maneuverability and rail-to-rail precision by using large sizes if you are looking for a very reactive drive. This is why even the pros do not necessarily ride in high aspect ratios!

The size of the front wing and in particular its surface and its volume condition the speed/lift ratio. The smaller the wing, the faster you will go but the more uncomfortable you will be at low speeds. The bigger the wing, the earlier you will fly but you’ll be penalized in handling and top speed.


 Which Stab?

The stabs have a major role. They determine the stability of the foil and help with its lift, but to the detriment of the maximum speed of the foil and its maneuverability if they are too large. The role of the stabilizer is to stabilize the foil but also to compensate for the natural tendency of the front wing to dive. So you must have a good balance of surfaces between your stab and your front wing. A 38 cm stab with an XXL wing will give a catastrophic result at high speed: the foil will dive at high speed because the stab will no longer be able to lift enough to counteract the nosediving torque of the front wing.

Remember that the stab must be proportional to the front wing. This is why we have named them S M L XL like the front wings so that you can pair them easily. Creating an imbalance brings no benefit except the illusion of better glide.

Thus the X-Over stabs are slower than the Fluid or Veloce stabs, but are much more lifty, and therefore effective at low speed or with a large front wing (for beginners for example). The Curve stab is at the border of these two worlds and the Freestyle stab is 100% dedicated to radical moves.

In the X-Overrange: super easy and effective stabs from low speeds to progress smoothly:

  • L 44 for those under 75kg and for everyone in winds above 15 knots.
  • XL 48 for those over 75kg and for everyone in winds below 20 knots.

In the Curve range: very simple stabs that love beautiful curves, with a stable and smooth glide:

  • S 36 for those under 65kg and for everyone in winds over 25 knots.
  • M 39 for those under 75kg and for everyone in winds over 20 knots.
  • L 43 for those under 85kg and for everyone in winds above 15 knots.
  • XL 46 for those over 95kg and for everyone in winds of less than 20 knots.

In the Fluid H range: stabs with a crazy glide for a radical drive but easy and relatively fast:

  • S 38 for those under 65kg and for everyone in winds over 25 knots.
  • M 42 for those under 75kg and for everyone in winds above 18 knots.
  • L 45 for those under 85kg and for everyone in winds above 12 knots.
  • XL 47 for those over 95kg and for everyone in winds below 20 knots.
  • XXL 49 for everyone in very light winds and bigger people in winds below 12 knots.

In the Veloce H range: the fast stabs dedicated to high speeds which are off your mind when riding:

  • S 36 for those under 65kg and for everyone in winds over 25 knots.
  • M 40 for those under 75kg and for everyone in winds above 20 knots.
  • L 44 for those under 85kg and for everyone in winds above 15 knots.
  • XL 47 for those over 95kg and for everyone in winds below 20 knots.

In theFreestyle range: stabs totally dedicated to tricks with a psycho pop and tight curves:

  • S 39 for those under 65kg and for everyone in winds over 25 knots.
  • M 41 for those under 75kg and for everyone in winds over 20 knots.
  • L 44 for those under 85kg and for everyone in winds above 15 knots.
  • XL 46 for those over 95kg and for everyone in winds of less than 20 knots.

Which foil mast?

During your first sessions, you can reassure yourself with a short mast (65cm). Falls on the first flights will be less impressive. But apart from when launching, you will have everything to gain with a long mast (85cm and more).

More length = more headroom = easier = more efficient.

In choppy water, in transitions, in sluggish waters, a large mast will be ten times more pleasant. It will save you from touchdowns and give you the necessary height margin in all your actions.

Of course the must is the HM mast in 85cm, or in92cm for a race use. Absolutely magical. However the 85cm or 95cm aluminum masts are great too.
We recommend 85cm in freestyle and wave riding, and a longer mast in freeride and race for comfort.

In summary, for waves and freestyle, but also for beginners and progressing, an 85 mast (V2 or HM depending on your budget) is ideal. Simple to enter the water with, easy to switch from one rail to another, it’s perfect.

A mast of 90 cm or more is rather dedicated to Race because it offers more margin at high speed, namely in choppy conditions. However the maneuverability won’t be as good. Find all our masts : here.

Foil Positioning?

For GONG foils, place the plate in the center of the US rail box. The further you move it forward, the more it raises the board.

The further you move it backwards, the more the nose of the board pearls.

Be careful not to move it too far forward. We often tend not to let the back foot work enough, especially when we come from kite foiling. However, moving the foil back a little, forces more weight on the back foot and gives a more harmonious attitude and reduces efforts.

Which Leash?

Take a 6′ of 7mm minimum diameter.

Check its condition before each session and change it every year. It’s your life jacket.

Strap or Strapless? 2 or 3 straps?

When using the HIPE Pro with a wing

Riding strapless is sexy because it makes you feel free. But quite honestly, it’s not the best for performance…

So, it’s up to you to see if sensation prevails over performance. On a HIPE, we’re clearly going to miss a big part of its potential without straps.

With straps, you’ll have much more control and much less risk of the foil flipping over under your feet. When you are getting into wing foiling, the V front straps are an essential benchmark to position your feet properly. You save a lot of time.

In the waves, it’s obvious, you gain a lot with straps, including the rear strap. You can recover from crazy situations just by pulling up on your feet. And what to say in the tricks: the catalog is multiplied tenfold with the straps. All jumps are possible, and the cushioning of the inflatable is magic for the knees ?

Take your first steps with just the V front straps. You can mount the rear strap because it will make a good mark to wedge your foot just in front, and a good grip. But don’t put it on at first. Once you are comfortable in flight, remember to move the foil back 2cm to get used to the rear strap.

Good to know:

Never leave your board in the sun, even less an inflatable board, and even less a black carbon plate that will heat up very quickly. You might see it peeling off!!!

Don’t screw further than the bottom of the box, otherwise you’ll get into the skin of the inflatable. We deliver US squares with no opening, but be careful.

Never let your foil board get mistreated in the waves, especially close to the shore. You must protect it from major forces. A wave that carries your board away and rolls it away can do a lot of damages.

Equipments

The HIPE Pro comes with an ICS Pro carbon plate to attach the foil.

This ICS Pro carbon plate is equipped with SCS double entry boxes to install and adjust the foil easily. The double openings correspond to the position of the screws on the top plate. We present the foil with the nuts already mounted on the plate that we slide into the rails without dismantling them, we slide the foil, we tighten the 4 screws and off we go.

Adjusting the foil is also easier and more precise with the adjustment information listed on the ICS Pro plate.

The handle in the carbon plate placed on the hull is a real gain in comfort for launching and carrying over short distances. And it has no impact on the rigidity and resistance of our plate which are flawless.



The set of footstraps is offered with the board. For 2023 we have reviewed the outline of our straps to further improve comfort. Specially developed for wing foiling, these less covering straps do not bend when put on. More rigid, they are more precise in steering but still just as comfortable. There is less surface area on the instep: so there is less risk of staying stuck in it or banging your foot on the edge of the strap when putting it on in a rush. It also allows better leeward downforce (with the tip of the foot) and therefore a more natural attitude when sailing.
We have worked on every detail to improve your experience on the water.

The V-shape footstrap perfectly centers the foot on the front of the board. The position is thus more natural and allows direct and precise control in maneuvers.


The large diameter leash ring is the strongest on the market. It is essential for use in wing foiling or SUP foiling.

The top-of-the-range 5mm thick integral pad provides maximum grip and comfort when sailing. This year we have changed the grooving to provide even more comfort and more grip. This hard brush pad sublimates the board. This flat pad provides absolute comfort and a magical grip with more precision. This is obvious on long sessions: the feet are less tired.



The supplied double action inflation pump is so rapid and efficient you’ll be the first one in the water.

The screw kit for the straps and the foil is supplied with the board.

In order to facilitate the assembly of the foil, our US fixing nuts are connected by a carbon fiber rod and delivered with the board. With the Smart Connection System we save time to mount the foil and the adjustment is precise. No more risk of losing elements of your screw kit: you leave them screwed on the plate and you slide them into the US rails through the 4 new insertion holes. Nothing more to disassemble: you just have to tighten the screws and off you go!!!

A repair kit is also included in case of damage (be careful, the kit is delivered without glue that you can easily find in your DIY store (PVC glue)). Note that we have all the components of your board in stock in order to repair it easily. Everything can be repaired on an inflatable.

Everything is delivered in a super practical and solid transport bag. The bag is large, you can store your HIPE Pro, foil, wing and some accessories. It is designed for traveling, without excess baggage with most airline companies!

  • It is designed for travel and without excess baggage on most airlines!
  • The backpack straps are very padded and comfortable.
  • The handles are super strong and comfy.

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.
