GONG FACTORY CATCH 5’0 FSP 2X

INTRODUCTION

These Boards are shaped and decorated by L’Ours himself here at our Workshop in La Baule gives these Boards a distinguished “Made in La France” labeling.

Introduction:

The Catch is THE Board for killing it ion Freestyle with a Surf Board.

The Catch Shape has evolved quite a bit, notably with a large squash tail for pop and an almost fully squared nose. The Board is more rectangular for maximising you footing in the wind which optimises landings. Another big + of this Board: its monstrous pop.

Its Rocker is slightly more marked than the Catch 2SK,  but is still considered a low Rocker that gives serious stability and quick planing.

For control, its volumes been reduced with a minimum thickness through the tips. You’ve got solid footing on the Board, full control, no bouncing.

On the flat it’s a very nervous Board, ideal for Freestyle and upwind between two tricks. That’s its favourite playground. Her impulses are demonic. It truly is a great platform.

In the surf it’s relatively stiff. This means it has speed and impulse that are killer but its rocker will limit it in hollow waves. You can power surf with energy and for an aerial style.

Built in FSP 2X for a better compromise between weight/solidity and equipped with a 3D Function Pad that covers 2/3rds of the deck for comfort and maximum grip. The 3 Boxes are FCS II, for more rigidity and easier, tool-less, in and out.

The Freestyle Board par excellence!

 

SHAPE
  • Rocker: tight for maximum speed.
  • Rails: hard at tail and soft at nose for that feeling 100% modern.
  • Volume: the minimum for mad performance in small waves.
  • Outline: ample surface area, tail buoyant, nose compact. Solid, reactive board that flys through the water.
  • Tail: diamond tail large for planning, the cap and for pop.
  • Nose: diamond round nose cutting through chop smoothly.
Technology FSP 2X
  • 3D Shape on modeling software.
  • Preshapsd with numerical control for total reliability.
  • Shape control by traditional templates, finishing up to the last mm 100% by hand.
  • 100% Epoxy Board on 15kg/m3 EPS foam blank : solid and light.
  • Deck and Hull in PVC Sandwich under a 3mm 80kg/m3 vacuum: incomparable solidity and incredible dynamism.
  • Deck: Full PVC/Fiberglass sandwich composed of a core of high density PVC foam and 2 layers of 6oz Biaxial fiberglass, one layer of 4oz fiberglass, 6oz Biaxial fiberglass reinforcement on the foot area.
  • Hull: Integral PVC/Fiberglass sandwich composed of a high density PVC foam core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass, one layer of 6oz Biaxial fiberglass, and fiberglass reinforcements on the sensitive areas such as the Fin boxes.
  • Rails: the PVC sandwich structure completely covers the rails: increased structural strength, incredible impact resistance.
  • Tinted Resin hot coat: nobility within the process, weight saving and solidity of the finish.
  • Flat custom finish, hand-made, for weight saving and better glide.

The FSP 2X technology is easily repairable to new in case of dings. The PVC foam of the sandwich is waterproof and avoids water intake from everyday shocks.

This technology offers, at an affordable price, the incomparable solidity/lightness ratio of the Full Vacuum PVC Sandwich.
