JVB Surf Wave Pistol
The very versatile shortboard.
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 competition shortboard that works best in imperfect conditions.
Introduction
The WAVE PISTOL has been made for all surfers who want to own a shortboard that is efficient in small waves without the need of a longboard or an hybrid board to have fun.
Its nose and the wider tail combined with a fast rocker give the board a speed and a boost in soft waves.
The Wave Pistol’s hull is worked with concaves which give a boost in turns and projections in tricks.
The Wave Pistol is very efficient when the conditions are difficult.
This board is ideal for waves going from 1 to 5 feet, it can be used by all surfers and it is very versatile.
Features
- Outline : composed of eccentric curves to obtain 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 : medium and 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 : Swallow tail for maximum adhesion, speed and rotation in manoeuvre.
- Fins : Thruster
