GONG FACTORY SURF 5’7 EVOLT EPS

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.

The Evolt is the doped-up version of the Chemical to perform in Competition.

A true emanation of our bestselling Shortboard, the Evolt is more radical but oriented for waves in the lower range of the Chemical. We are clearly in the ultra performance for daily waves conditions.

The hard lines in the back of the OFO gives it more acceleration and shorter curve radiuses. But the tail is very close to the Chemical so it finishes the turns cleanly without dragging a big butt around. So, we have more width at the lateral Fins and ditto at the tail: the mania is boosted, as the acceleration.

The work on the hull is important: simple concave, very pronounced under the front foot, and double concave in front of the lateral, to finish up in V starting at the back foot. The rail-to-rail passage is instinctive and ultra-lively.
And this heavily marked V gives optimum water release for throwing spray.

The Evolt has a rocker that’s more accentuated in the nose than the Chemical. This curve releases the nose in the turns but also when preparing for heavy projections. You can really tighten up the curves at will.

We offer the Evolt in two constructions: PU for a bit of inertia and a more powerful drive; and super lightweight EPS for extreme mania and aerials. Available in 7 sizes to satisfy all rider sizes.

This is the Shortboard to lay it on the line when competing!

 

SHAPE
  • Rocker: pronounced on the nose for maximum maneuverability.
  • Rails: hard at the tail and round on the nose.
  • Volume: the bare minimum.
  • Outline: narrow Board and thinned out nose.
  • Tail: pure square tail for acceleration.
  • Nose: thin point nose to reduce inertia and facilitate radical moves.
  • Deck: domed for the thin rails.
  • Bottom: simple concave to double concave to V.
  • Fins: Trifin.
Technology EPS Surf
  • High Quality Materials : EPS Blanks, Epoxy resin, Glass Fiber. Material chosen for its adequacy with the demands of our technical specifications.
  • Deck details : 2 layers of Fiber Glass 6oz + 4oz.
  • Bottom details : 1 Fiber Glass 6oz layer, plus 1 patch of Fiber Glass 4oz wrapping the tail and the Fin Boxes.
  • Numerically controlled Preshape, modeled after traditional templates, 100% Hand Finished.
  • Mate finished for a better glide, less sensitive to scratching and a competative look.
  • This technology is easily repairable in case of damage and presents an excellent ratio solidity/reactivity/weight with all its technical qualities of its shape up front.
  • It’s THE lastest in modern technology sought after by the most technical surfers for the best performances.
  • These boards are 100% shaped and glassed in our workshop.
