The best for surfing and freestyle in an accessible shape

Presentation

A compact shape, comfortable width, and optimized glide make the Lemon 2024 a little gem of ultra-accessible performance for surfing and freestyle.

Our goal was to preserve the numerous advantages of this best-selling shape while maximizing takeoff ease with optimal glide.

For surfing, the Lemon is a board with a comfortable yet non-bulky width to maintain agility and precision. Whether you’re on a small or big wave, the Lemon knows no limits when it comes to carving.

For jumping, the Lemon’s ideal dimensions provide top-notch pop and re-pop, with minimal wind resistance and maximum landing comfort. Landing jumps has never been easier.

Team’s Feedback

“I really like the Lemon for its ease of use and its ability to do it all. Its compact shape provides excellent maneuverability while remaining stable. In wave riding, it is very lively in carves, turns on the lip, re-entries, or airs.In freestyle, I find it very easy to handle for all aerial rotations, and its large hull surface allows for super soft landings. It’s a very fun board that allows for rapid progression in both wave riding and freestyle.”

Outline

With its compact, generous outline and perfectly distributed volume, stability in choppy waters is a breeze for the Lemon, given its size. You find your balance instantly. Despite its generosity and accessibility, the Lemon remains a very nimble board in the surf, thanks to its pointed nose.

Rocker

Thanks to a tight rocker on the rear third, the glide is optimal: the board accelerates immediately without waiting for the foil to engage and the re-pops are furious.

Hull

The flat hull on the rear third provides optimal water flow, allowing for maximum glide and ultra-easy, fast takeoffs. The double concave on the front channels the water flow and softens nose touches, making them painless.

Rails

Straight and sharp rails provide more stability at a standstill. This also enhances glide during planning while maintaining that added stability, making the takeoff phase easier. Why go sharp? The criteria have evolved with wings becoming much more powerful than in 2022. This transformation enables gliding before flying, even in low wind conditions, and facilitates the use of smaller foils. Front wing sizes have seen an average drop of 200cm2 to 500cm2 between 2021 and 2023/24. So, this paradigm shift necessitates a change in the design of shapes, transitioning from ‘we release the board from the water as quickly as possible by pumping onto the foil’ to ‘we plane before flying (allowing the use of a smaller foil)’. This trend is visible at high level with the scoring of repops and combos. In 2022 only 1 trick was scored per tack: only 1! In 2023, the introduction of combos, where two moves are seamlessly linked together, earned a perfect score of 10 points at the Leucate event. A total change.

Tail

A squash tail and a flat profile for increased glide, enhanced stability at a standstill, and explosive re-pops. The notable difference from a Lethal is clear: we feel much more comfortable kneeling and during moments of instability. Pumping is also more efficient. Thanks to this specific tail and a more generous outline, you won’t exhaust yourself with every restart. Sessions are more enjoyable and longer.

Buying guide

Who is it for?

The Lemon is a user-friendly board, but it requires a certain skill level:

If you have a background in board sports, it will greatly assist in handling the wing.
Proficiency in piloting a foil is beneficial.
Substantial hours of wing flight experience are advantageous.

Regardless, the Lemon is demanding, aligning with its intended use. In a larger volume, it’s user-friendly (your weight +30), but if you opt for a volume tailored to your weight (+10), kneeling in choppy conditions will pose more challenges. Therefore, good physical condition is essential for agility, particularly with several hours of flight experience.

It’s unmistakably the board designed for those seeking to maximize the Wing’s potential in waves while prioritizing comfort.

Why choose the Lemon?

The Lemon excels as a dedicated waveriding board, providing just the right level of comfort to simplify your experience and execute tricks effortlessly. In summary, it’s 80% waveriding and 20% freestyle.

All the essential features of the board are concentrated between your feet and above the foil, delivering high reactivity and playfulness. Experiencing everything falling perfectly into place is a fantastic sensation. The board offers exceptional high-speed control and maneuverability in carves.

Ideal for surfing, tricks, and perfecting jumps, the Lemon epitomizes 100% high performance.

What board size?

La Lemon est une planche ultime en wing dans les vagues. However, by playing with volumes, you can adapt it to your needs:

Comfort

You can select a volume large enough to float, which is your weight +10 = volume

Example: I weigh 75kg + 10 = 85L to float. This means that with 85L I’ll be all good as long as I have a good wing level.

Sport

You can also sub-liter to gain in responsiveness. If you have a good level and want maximum responsiveness, you can switch to negative volumes, by which we mean weight > volume.

Up to your weight -15 = volume you can start easily on your knees while leaning on your wing.

Example: I weigh 75kg = 75L to slightly sub-liter. This means that with 70L my board will sink lightly and I will have to be precise and sporty at each start.

In competition, our Pro Team are on boards that have volumes of 10L and 15L below their weight. To date, this is the compromise that offers them the most performance because it boosts responsiveness and secures landings.

Example 2: I weigh 75kg and I take 65L to sub-liter without switching to a pure sinker. Which means that with 65L my board will partially sink when stopped and I will have to be very precise and sporty each time I start.

Sinker

At your weight – 30 = volume, you will have to start by sinking the board: it’s technical, very physical, and you lose part of the low wind range. And above all: you need depth, which can be annoying. The performance gain is debatable depending on your level, but the gain in sensations and responsiveness is interesting for some. It is also the best way to have light equipment, which is essential for the pros and especially for the biggest riders.

Example: I weigh 75kg – 30 = 45L to use my board as a Sinker. Which means that with 65L and less, my board will completely sink and I will have to start with the help of the wing to get out of the water. In this case, less volume often makes things easier because we sink the board with ease. This makes it easier to place our feet on the deck or in the straps and climb on it. A small board won’t pop out as a cork, therefore easier to make it sink but not as quick to take off. Its stability qualities when on the surface remain the same underwater.

In the end, the most unstable volume is often around 20L less than your weight.

Equipments

The set of footstraps is offered with the board. Since 2023 we have reviewed the outline of our straps to further improve comfort. Developed for wing foiling, these straps with less cover do not bend when put on.

More rigid, they offer a more precise steering but are still as comfortable. There is less surface area on the feet so there is less risk of staying stuck in the straps or banging your foot on the edge of the strap when rushing into it. It also allows better leeward control (tip of the foot) and therefore a more natural attitude in wing foiling.

We have worked on every detail to improve your experience on the water.

The V-shaped footstraps perfectly center the foot on the front of the board. The position is thus more natural and allows direct and precise control in maneuvers.

Since 2023, our SCS system launched on the HIPE is integrated on all our foil boards. It’s beautiful, efficient and above all it saves time you can spend on the water. With its 4 entries, the GONG double entry box facilitates the assembly and adjustment of the foil. Performance without the hassle. We leave the nuts and the screws on the plate, just insert the foil, screw and off we go! Setting up the foil is much faster and easier. It is the plug and play solution which facilitates adjustments! (inserts not supplied with the board).

A handle developed by our R&D and our ergonomics engineer has been integrated into our boards this year. We can better close our hands in it: a firmer and more comfortable grip. The depressurization screw is directly integrated into the handle.

It is placed on the hull to allow one-handed carrying. You can have the wing in the other hand to get past the whitewater or to get out of the water. And as we always do things seriously, the handle is placed in a block of hydrophobic PVC foam and covered with fiber.

The top-of-the-range 5mm thick integral pad provides maximum grip and comfort when sailing, while protecting the board from shocks. 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.

2 US GONG Box Double Entry for standard foil plates equipped with 4 screw + nuts (9cm center distance). Compatible with our SCS system. This new system allows ultra-fast assembly of GONG foils.(inserts not supplied with the board).
5 x 5-hole footstrap inserts to optimize your position.
1 x large light double V-shaped front footstrap and 1 x large light rear footstrap (screws included).
5 mm pad : deck covering designed for great comfort and absolute grip.
GONG carrying handle integrated in the center of the board on the hull.
Leash plug to never lose your board.
Automatic vent screw. (link to the HOW TO)

Warning

When you practice foil you expose yourself to possible serious risks. A poor mastering of a foil can expose you to cuts and/or serious bodily harm, even death for yourself and possibly others around you.

Foiling should be practiced, in all circumstances, by taking precautions and taking into consideration all that is involved and associated with surf/SUP sports. Remember that a foil is long and has an edge that could cause slicing and is capable of reaching very high speeds. Getting hit by a foil, or hitting another, can have dramatic and highly unwanted consequences.

Always foil far from others, and in waters that are secure and without obstacle.

Always wear a helmet andprotective vest that assures floatability. Always wear a full body neoprene wetsuit.

When handling and manipulating a foil be careful not to cut yourself along its edges.

GONG does not accept and declines any and all responsibility in case of accident that implicates a GONG foil. The practicing of this sport and the use of our equipment makes the user fully responsable for his/her actions while being a foil user.
