PROGRAM
High performance inflatable wing foil board that’s totally dedicated to Surf-Freestyle.
PRESENTATION
The HIPE Stunt is a pure Surf-Freestyle board.
With an incredible glide, an insane repop, and great softness on landing, it's the inflatable board for sending solid tricks.
Be it in the waves or on the flat, in turns or in jumps, it offers maximum maneuverability to make everything possible.
We love its modern and over the lip surfing style. It is not limited to beautiful carves: you can send moves in all directions as our Team Riders say.
In freestyle, it's a great board that, against what one might think, makes tricks easier. GONG inflatable technology offers incredible potential that has nothing to envy of rigid boards. You can nail all the tricks in the book with the Stunt.
Like all HIPEs in the GONG range, it is the ultimate combination of the performance of rigid boards with the advantages of inflatable ones. Our innovative system of hybrid dropstitch boards with an ultra-rigid carbon plate is an absolute revolution in the world of inflatable foil boards.
So if you want to go full send in wing foiling, the HIPE Stunt is no limit.
In a nutshell
This new very round and compact shape has been designed to offer maximum agility in the air.
And conversely, with an ideally distributed volume and width, this shape offers great stability at a standstill and on landings.
The fairly flat rocker is ideal for boosting the take-off phase. It is relatively arched at the front to slide in landings.
A round tail for maximum maneuverability and even more glide, minimal bulk in turns and explosive repop.
The round nose is generous to ensure landing and reduce overall length.
Rigid rail
To improve takeoff, our designers developed a rigid rail at the tail of the board. This allows for a clean release of water streams at the end of the hull, resulting in better glide before flying and boosting acceleration. You pump less and fly earlier.
Round tail

Buying guide
For whom?
The HIPE Stunt is not a beginner or progression board. This is the board for those who have been riding for a while and who have unlocked the basic moves.
This is clearly the board to maximize the potential of wing foiling in Surf-Freestyle.
Good physical condition is a real asset.
For what?
The HIPE Stunt is a pure Surf-Freestyle board, with optimum take-off and record repop. Designed to throw the biggest tricks, it has no limits. It’s a real ping pong ball!
Ideal for tricks, it really delivers when surfing, especially in on or side-on conditions with slightly messy waves. If you like going for tricks and airs while surfing, this is a gem of a board!
What size?
The HIPE Stunt is the perfect board for Surf-Freestyle. Intended for experienced users, you can adapt it to your needs by choosing the right volume for you:
Comfort
You should take a volume that’s sufficient to float without difficulty, about your weight + 20 or more = volume of the board.
Example: I weigh 75kg + 20 = 95L to float easily. Which means that with 95L and above I will be very comfortable, provided I have a good level in wing foiling.
Sport
You can also go for a lower volume to gain responsiveness. You need a very good level and should want maximum responsiveness to go to negative volumes (in other words: weight > volume).
Up to your weight – 15 = volume you can still start on your knees by leaning on the wing that sits on the water.
Example 1: I weigh 75kg = 75L to keep it simple with a close to negative volume. Which means that with 70L my board will sink slightly when at a standstill and I should be precise and sporty each time I start.
In competition, our Team uses between 10L and 15L less than their weight on their rigid boards. To date, this is the compromise that offers them the most performance because it boosts responsiveness and secures receptions. This rule also applies to inflatables.
Example 2: I weigh 75kg and I take 65L to sub-liter without switching to the pure sinker. Which means that with 65L my board will partially sink when at a standstill and I will have to be very precise and sporty each time I start.
Best quiver choices?
The HIPE Stunt is THE inflatable wing board par excellence for Surf-Freestyle. It will take a big place in your quiver. For lighter sessions, the HIPE Diamond or the Cruzader will be a good complement, while maintaining the same level of performance.
You can of course complete it with a range of stand up paddleboards without foil. And surfboards for days when the waves are unsuitable for foiling.
Understanding the GONG range?
The concept of each board of the range can be summed up very simply:
- HIPE LEARN: the inflatable wing board for learning.
- HIPE FIRST: the perfect inflatable wing board for beginners and progression.
- HIPE PERF: the inflatable board with 95% of the performance of rigid baords in an easy and scalable shape.
- HIPE FREE FLY: the best strapless inflatable foil board.
- HIPE STUNT: the inflatable board for surfing/freestyle scoring.
- HIPE LETHAL: the must-have inflatable board for wave riding.
- HIPE DIAMOND: mid-length with the glide of a downwinder and the handling of a compact board.
- HIPE CRUZADER: the inflatable “downwinder” for the highest performance in light wind winging and obviously in DW.
- 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 POINT: fantastic in SUP downwinders, pumping on the flat, but also in light wind conditions for wing foiling, freefly, surfing, etc…
- CRUZADER DIAMOND: compact and easy to paddle shape for downwind SUPing. In wing foiling it’s ideal for light wind conditions, surfing and downwinders.
- FLINT: high performance in SUP foiling, really cool for wing foiling because it is simple, stable and efficient. All in one.
- MINT: absolute efficiency and ease thanks to its glide. A first-class wing board for take offs in a versatile shape geared towards surfing and freeride.
- LEMON: top-notch responsiveness and liveliness in surfing, high performance in freestyle, great stability and lots of glide.
- STUNT: 100% surf-freestyle. Great maneuverability. Instant take offs and re-pops.
- LETHAL: Absolute surfing radicality for a magical ride in all types of waves.
Which foil wings?
For the experienced:
In the Curve H or Curve range: super easy and effective wings at low speed:
- M for 50kg -> 65kg and all wind forces.
- L for 65kg -> 75kg and all wind forces.
- XL for 75kg -> 100kg and all wind forces.
- XXL for 100kg -> 120kg and wind less than 15 knots.
For Pros:
In the Fluid, Ypra Surf or Veloce range: high-performance wings
- M for 50kg -> 75kg and wind above the 15 knots.
- L for 65kg -> 85kg and wind above ther 15 knots.
- XL for 75kg -> 100kg and all wind forces, or for lightweights in light wind.
- XXL for 100kg -> 120kg and wind less than 15 knots.
The size of the front wing determines the speed/lift ratio. The smaller the wing, the faster you will go but will be uncomfortable at low speeds.
The stabs have a major role. They determine the stability of the foil and help with its lift, but at the expense of the maximum speed of the foil.
So thick stabs are slower than thin stabs, but are much more supportive, and therefore effective at low speed. A larger stab span avoids loss of control but reduces maneuverability.
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 mast of 85 cm or more.
More length = more margin = easier = more efficient.
In chop, in transitions, in lulls, a large mast will be ten times more pleasant. It will prevent you from touching and give you the necessary height margin in all your actions.
In pure racing, of course the must is the HM mast in 107 cm. Absolutely magical. But the 95 cm aluminum or 92 cm HM are great too.
In Freerace, a long mast is also a must. It's not more difficult and it will make fast reaches easier.
In Freeride, we often seek simplicity and versatility. The 85 cm mast is essential. 92 cm for those who want margin.
In Freestyle, we recommend 85 cm to keep rail to rail dynamic and controllable.
In Surfing, we favor radicality and control, therefore the 85 cm. But in solid waves, the 92 cm will give more room to apply huge leaning angles without dramatically ventilating at the bottom turn for example.
Finally, note that a shim of 1.5° under an 85 cm mast will give you the nose up margin of a 92 cm. This is the ultimate trick.
In summary, for waves and freestyle, but also for starting out and progressing, an 85 mast (V2 or HM depending on your budget) is ideal. Simple to put in the water, easy to move from one rail to another, it’s perfect.
A mast of 92 cm or more will be dedicated to the race by offering more margin at high speed in choppy conditions but less maneuverability. All our masts: here.
Positioning of the foil?
For GONG foils, place the top plate in the center of the US rails to start and move it forward a few centimeters when you get into transitions (a sign of good progress).
The more you move it forward, the more the board will pitch nose-up. The more you move it backwards, the more the board nose-dives.
Be careful not to move it too far forward. We often tend not to let their back foot work, 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 effort.
Which leash?
Take a 6’ with a minimum diameter of 7mm.
Check its condition before each session and change it every year. This is your life jacket.
Strapped or strapless? 2 or 3 straps?
When it comes to wing foiling:
Going strapless feels sexy because you feel free. But honestly, performance-wise, it's not the best option…
So, it's up to you whether the sensation outweighs the performance. On a HIPE Diamond, you'll clearly miss out on a significant part of its potential without straps.
With front straps, you'll have much more control and far less risk of the foil flipping under your feet. When you're starting out, front straps are an essential reference point for placing your feet correctly. They save you a lot of time.
In waves, it's obvious that you gain a lot with straps, including the rear strap. You can recover from crazy situations just by pulling on your feet. And what about tricks: the range is multiplied with straps. All jumps are possible, and the cushioning of the inflatable is magical for the knees ;-)
Take your first steps with just the front straps. You can install the rear strap as it will provide a good reference for placing your foot just in front and a good handle. But don't use it at the beginning. Once you're comfortable in flight, consider moving the foil back by 2cm to get used to the rear strap.
Good to know:
Never leave your board in the sun, especially an inflatable board, and even less a black carbon plate which will heat up very quickly. You risk seeing it come unstuck!!!
Do not screw further than the bottom of the box, otherwise you will pass through the skin of the inflatable. We deliver non-opening US nuts, but be careful.
Never let your foil board take a beating in the waves, especially close to the beach. You must protect it from major efforts. A wave that carries your board and rolls it can do serious damage.
Equipments
SCS SYSTEM
The composite plate is equipped with Smart Connection System (SCS) double entry boxes to easily install and adjust the foil. The double holes correspond to the stance of the holes in your GONG foil plate. Simply present the foil with the brass nuts already mounted on the plate, slide them into the rails without disassembling, tighten the 4 screws, and you're ready to go.
To facilitate foil assembly, our new US fixing brass nuts are connected by a carbon fiber rod and are included with the board. This saves time for foil assembly, and the adjustment is precise. No more risk of losing your brass nuts: you leave them screwed on the plate and slide them into the US rails using the 4 new insertion holes. There's nothing to disassemble: just tighten the screws and go!
Foil adjustment is also easier and more precise with the adjustment information engraved on the plate.
CARRYING HANDLE
The handle in the carbon plate, placed on the hull, is a real comfort enhancement for launching and carrying over short distances. And it has no impact on the rigidity and strength of our plate, which are flawless.
FOOTSTRAPS
The set of 3 footstraps is included with the board.
Developed for wingfoiling, these moderate coverage straps do not fold during wear. With less surface area on the instep, there is less risk of getting stuck or hitting the foot on the edge of the strap when putting it on quickly. This also allows for better leeward support (with the tip of your foot) and therefore a more natural stance in wing foiling.
Sufficiently rigid, they provide precise control while remaining very comfortable.
The V-shaped front footstrap perfectly centers the foot on the front of the board. This positioning is more natural and allows for direct and precise control during maneuvers.
Every detail has been carefully crafted to enhance your on-water experience.
FULL DECK PAD
The premium 5mm thick full deck pad provides maximum grip and comfort while navigating. This Velvet Traction grooving pad offers a velvety touch underfoot and magical grip. Exceptionally stylish and high-quality, it enhances your board.
This relief-free pad truly provides absolute comfort. It's noticeable during long sessions: your feet are less tired.
ROLLER TRANSPORT BAG
The HIPE Stunt comes with a super practical and sturdy roller transport bag.
The bag is spacious enough to carry your HIPE Stunt, foil, and wing.
It is designed for comfortable travel without exceeding baggage limits on most airlines!
The backpack straps are heavily padded and comfortable. The handles are super strong and comfortable to hold. The front pocket is generously sized to store your accessories and personal items without the risk of losing them. And the compression straps minimize the volume of the bag. Integrated compartments on the back of the front panel allow you to securely and neatly store your foil elements and hardware.
Nothing is missing!
PUMP, HARDWARE, AND REPAIR KIT
The provided dual-action rapid inflation pump is super efficient to get you on the water quickly.
All the hardware for the straps and foil is included with the board.
A repair kit is also included in case of damage (please note that the kit does not include glue, which you can easily find at your hardware store, typically PVC glue). Note that we stock all the components of your board for easy repair to its new state. Everything can be repaired on an inflatable.
