Description

Preamble

Our Direct Sales Distribution Model has proven its efficiency on every level. Now we want to extend that system to Brands that are ‘Friends’ of GONG so we may offer more choices than ever. Jean Valère Bordenave entrusts GONG with his JVB Surfboard production and sales. He is a renowned Shaper from Corsica, a high level Surfer, and the first to have charged G-Land on a SUP (GONG Electric 9’11 in fact), so this is a collaboration and a long standing relationship between our two Brands.

Function

The super fast and compact board with a modern shape dedicated to small waves.

Introduction

The BO is a shortboard model made for speed. Its nose and tail’s width make the BO a small board on which its easier to paddle. It is stable and large even though its a shortboard. The BO offers an outstanding control and stability in terms of paddling which allows you to be alert and quick at the Peak and ready for the take off. Its rocker is shaped in a way that gives speed to the paddle and to enter the wave faster and earlier. Thanks to the concaves and hull combo, the BO keeps speeding in the wave, tearing the hollow parts and flying ontop of the soft sections. The BO model is “the upper level”. It gives you the feeling of speeding down the line, some flow and control in the small waves surf. It’s an awesome board to learn and progress with for tricks and airs.

GLOBAL

Outline: composed of short and long curves to obtain a non-standard outline combining control and ability to turn short.
Rocker: in 3 parts, the middle section streched out and the steepening of the nose and tail’s curves. This rocker is to combine speed and control according to the surfer’s weight shift on its front or back foot.
Bottom: Simple concave + double concave + Vee to limit theoutflow of water under the board and gain speed by using the “VENTURI EFFECT” principle.
Rails: soft under the front foot to maximise progress and control. Rails are generous and edgy under the back foot to emphasize speed and responsiveness of the board.
Tail: Diamond rounded that gives you control, rotation is made easier and there is some softness while moving from one rail to another.
Fins: Thruster

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.

How to properly glue your pads?

The question of the pad often comes down to an aesthetic choice for the look of your board. But what seems like luxury to non-pros is actually a huge help.
If surfing is the art of placement then you need to put your feet properly on the board. And what better than a touch marker to know, ok, I’m at the sweet spot for this turn.?

Sticking good pads is therefore essential. They will signal to your feet whether they are in the perfect position or not.
You still have to stick them properly, and some get very creative…
