Description

Function

Fish: A Board that is super fast, with a Rail to Rail capacity that is off the hook, and a trajectorial hold that is mind blowing.

Introduction

This Deep Fish Tail gives as much character as one can have on a board with dimensions that come with this generous shape. Incredibley fast due to the finnesse of its points, bouyant due to its width and coupled with an impressive incredibley maneuverable V. Literally the defention of Missile.

The outline is Traditional, pure and without exageration. The generous volume is exactly what it needs to be be in order to not hinder quick maneuvering.

The Take-Offs are as premature as they come, the glide immediate and the speed mindblowingly flagrant. It’s a molotov Cocktail of pure fun but does not demand the highest skill level for its qualities to be exploited correctly.

And then comes the speed; One of the most important qualities of this board is its incredible Rail to Rail capacity. With the Deep Fish Tail that liberates the excess pressure and guides the board you have at your disposal a lift that favors tight turns. The Twin Fin mounting procures you efficient hold that does not interfere with maneuverability so you can switch Rail to rail in full speed without hesitation!

The Original Flying Carpet on Steroids!!!

Ideal Waves

  • Size: from knee to head high.
  • Strength: at its best in normal and mellow waves.
  • Type: it loves it all.

Equipment

These boards are equipped with a leash plug and 6 FCS I plugs aligned 3 by 3 for solid 3 tab mounting.

Construction

This board is available in a PU or an EPS version, in 6 sizes for both constructions in order to satisfy all surfers and stick as close as possible to its program.

Shape

  • Rocker: tight enough for easy Take-Offs and maximum speed in small waves.
  • Rails: Retro up front… Performance in the back.
  • Volume: generous without excess for ealry Take-Offs and mad performance.
  • Outline: large through the center with a medium wide point and pinched extremities
  • Tail: Deep Fish Tail for early gliding without inhibiting maneuverability.
  • Nose: Rounded Point Nose for lift and re-launch.
  • Deck: slightly domed to conserve thinner rails and flat through the middle for control.
  • Bottom: marked V at the Tail, then subtle V with double concave in the center with a bellied under nose.
  • Fins: twin fin.

Innovation is at the core of our products

Buying guide

For whom?

An intermediate level surfer will quickly find its bearings by choosing the size adapted to its level. Under the feet of a good surfer, a fish will perform very quickly as it has everything going for it, glide, speed and maneuverability.

And after a first session, the reactions are very often the same, because this type of glide is generally a real revelation!

For what?

For the aesthetics of the shape, to have a “retro style”, or to have in your hands a piece of the surfing heritage, the reasons are numerous. But a fish generally complements a quiver to exploit the full potential of “average” sessions, eliminating a large part of the frustrations that a high performance shortboard can cause.

This shape, which has evolved a lot since its creation, now adapts to the vast majority of everyday waves. Often caricatured and intended for surfing small summer conditions, we quickly realize that the potential of a fish is much more extensive than we think.

What size board?

  • The small sizes from 5’2 to 5’11 should be reserved for experienced to pro surfers. It turns on the spot like a skateboard and offers instant speed.
  • The intermediate sizes from 6’3 to 7’11 are ideal for all surfers who want a board that is cool to paddle, easy to drop, and as fast as possible.

What are the ideal waves?

  • Size: From almost nothing to a man’s size, but a good surfer will be able to take it well beyond that.
  • Power: Its playground is soft waves, but its natural speed allows it to play in hollow waves.
  • Shape: It can handle it all, but prefers smooth waves.

Which shape?

Pie or Impératrice?

For the same volume, the Pie will have more length, it will be more slender. This will have a positive impact on paddling speed, but especially on the size of the waves you can surf with it. The Pie will have a higher top end, so you can surf a bit more wave size with the Pie. It is also more comfortable in hollow conditions with an early drop. The Pie is very round and easy to drive. The lines of its tail and its nose are more “pinched” for easy handling. The Imperatrice will show more character in the low end, in small and sloppy waves, by having more drive, and by being even easier for generating speed. The Imperatrice will be the board for a good surfer who seeks uncompromising excellence in a retro fish shape.

Pie or Fork?

The Fork will be closer to riding a classic shortboard, but with a huge speed boost and incredible pop. It’s not retro fish 😉

Which bag?

 

Included equipments

  • 6 FCS I plugs aligned 3 by 3 for solid 3 tab mounting.

Pricing

GONG SURFBOARD PIE PU/EPS: from 299€

  • We make quality products. We are not “low cost”.
  • We sell simply without an intermediary thanks to the internet: direct from shaper to surfer.
  • If we sold this board in a surfshop, it would cost 599€ (taking into account traditional margins that we should offer to distributers and stores).

 

Shipping

Availability:

The dates of availability of all our products are written on each product page, in the size and colour of the product concerned.

These dates are valid at the moment you consult the site and/or place an order. It is possible that this product may be ordered a few seconds after your consultation. It then becomes unavailable. If you have placed an order, this change does not concern you: the product you order is still available on the date indicated at the time of your order.

We sell several thousand products per week. The stocks are therefore very evolutionary. But our management always shows you the real availability live.

If it’s available online: it’s available ?

 

Pre-order:

Some articles are proposed in pre-order during their routing to our premises. You can buy this article which will arrive at our place in a few weeks. This method avoids the fair to grab upon receipt of the lot and the disappointed ones who would not order within the hour.

Upon receipt, we will ship it to you as a regular order.

The times indicated on the pre-orders are 95% reliable. First of all, because we only pre-sell finished products that are arriving to us after Customs, and therefore shipped right after. And also, because we add decent margins with concern to the dates announced by the shipping companies or railways.

However, a Worker Strike, a breakdown, an overbooking, can unfortunately happen. In the case of a delay, you will be notified by email (check your spam). It is generally less than a week and totally independent of our good will.

As soon as we receive the container in La Baule, we ship your order within three working days. Then the carrier takes over: delivery time and tracking numbers are under their responsibility.

It is possible that the date displayed on the online for the pre-order of the item you have ordered and paid for may change for two reasons:

  1. All quantities of the batch are sold (most common reason). In this case, orders placed for the first container will be delivered as scheduled.
  2. The container is late and we have to shift the date by a few days. (Strikes, breakdowns, overbooking, can unfortunately happen). You will be notified by email.

We never change the delivery dates of a container without notifying customers.

 

Delays:

The dates that we announce are shipping deadlines, which GONG has in stock and available here physically.

We usually give a shipping time within 3 days, but in most cases, we ship within 24/48 hours. Normally morning orders leave in the afternoon for example.

Then the transport service takes over. The variables are then important between the customer being delivered to France (very fast) or Bulgaria (a good week) or to a forwarding agent or to Asia or the USA… You understand that each location has its own type of delay.

We work with serious and well-known carriers. They do their utmost to make you happy even if a snafu can happen. In any case, we are there to make things easier and to arrange our customers.

 

Shipping Fees: 

Contrary to others, we do not hide shipping costs in the price of our products. At GONG everyone knows exactly what he pays. The transport is charged at its strictest value, and the person who comes to pick up his products does not pay hidden transport fees.

Shipping costs are calculated according to the weight and volume of each package, and your delivery address. To this is added a labour time of order preparation.

The invoicing of the shipping costs is identical in continental France and in the bordering European countries. A surcharge is automatically invoiced for deliveries to the most distant European countries and all European islands.

For a shipment in French overseas departments and territories or outside Europe, our logistics department will contact you before the payment stage to give you an estimate of the shipping costs. You will be able to accept this estimate and pay your order, or refuse it and cancel your order.

 

Any questions:

We answer you within 24 hours by email. But 95% of your questions are answered on the site. Try to use our contact form which will guide you to all these answers.

Don’t forget to read the Forum, where thousands of users exchange information and experiences.

In any case, don’t panic. If you don’t get an answer during the weekend, it’s normal: the team is resting ?

We are passionate and professional in our job. Our only goal is to make you happy, as much as possible ?

 

Eco-responsible packaging:

Preserving the environment is a top priority. That’s why we are doing everything possible to reduce our environmental footprint.

The first thing is to sell quality products that will last, be repairable and will please you for a long time.

The second thing is to sell for less. Most of the pollution coming from a Board is in its use (the km driven to use it) and in the countless environmental damages you have to do to pay for it. Each euro spent is a sum of damage related to your life quite simply: eating, working hard etc… By reducing the price of our products, we significantly reduce your ecological footprint on this item.

For our shipments we use:

  • Flexi-Hex: ecological packaging of very high resistance.
  • Paper Craft Scotch Tape.
  • Final packaging made of high-end cardboard.

All this for:

  • Reusable and recyclable packaging.
  • An almost total reduction of single-use plastic.
  • Maximum protection and impact resistance thanks to the innovative design of Flexi-Hex honeycomb (35mm thick).

 

Tracking of your parcels :

The tracking of deliveries is directly ensured by the carriers to whom we have entrusted your parcels. They will contact you by email or SMS to allow you to choose the delivery methods and to follow the route of your package.

If you ask us for this tracking, we will have to do as you do: we will go see on the carrier’s app because they are the ones who manage and are responsible for this job.

 

Delivery:

We collaborate with the best transport providers to deliver you everywhere in Europe and in the world in very short delays.

We have chosen them for their quality of service and their respect of deadlines. 80% of your orders reach their destination in less than 48 hours of processing in metropolitan and continental France.

For Europe, the delays vary from 3 to 6 days depending on the country of destination.

For the rest of the world, delays can be up to 15 days.

Please note that the transport time is added to the preparation/shipping time. Two companies work on your order (GONG and the carrier). Each one controls its activity and commits itself to optimize its delays so that you are delivered as soon as possible, in good condition and at a reasonable price.

 

Reception of your Board:

Upon delivery, simply open and inspect the condition of your Board in the presence of the carrier. A complete email explaining the procedure to follow will be sent to you when your order is shipped.

In spite of our requirements and all the care we take in packaging and protecting your Board, transportation hazards may occur. Even if it concerns less than 2% of everything we ship around the world, a Board can suffer a more or less important transportation shock.

But in any case, don’t worry, just refuse it, and a new Board will be shipped back to you.

 

Returns:

You can choose to return your products if:

  • You are not satisfied (14 days right of retraction).
  • You want to change an item.
  • You have refused your package.

 

For each situation, contact us by our contact form to help you.

3 reviews for GONG SURF PIE PU/EPS

  1. elijah.le-gall (verified owner)

    J’ai acheté cette planche pour aller plus souvent surfer sur mon spot (où les vagues sont parfois petites), la livraison s’est faite dans les temps.
    J’ai pu la tester immédiatement après son arrivé sur des vagues d’environ 1,6 m ( bonnes vagues en soit) et le résultat est bluffant, moi qui a la base était sceptique sur les fish, je sui ravi de cette achat, la vitesse de la planche est juste incroyable et très plaisante.
    Une fois que vous avez réussi à rentrer dans la vagues vous ne pouvez plus vous arrêtez, la planche fuse et donne une très bonne sensation de stabilité, elle est également plus maniable que ce que je pensais.
    Très bon rapport qualité prix (à voir sur le long terme, en tout cas une excellente première expérience)

    Hello, pour 100kg , j’ai eu la 5’10 eps et la 6’3 PU maintenant ,c’est top dans des vagues très molles, même vagues qu’en LB à condition d’avoir un placement plus précis. En fonction du spot une Pie en 6’10 peut être bien aussi et plus joueuse quand les conditions s’améliorent . L’eps c’est très léger donc réactif mais je trouve qu’il marque assez vite sous les pied (avec mon poids) et le PU un poil plus lourd mais permet de finir la session si pok . Pour mes spot de roches je préfère le PU.

    Je fais 1,70m et 75kgs, donc à priori j’ai pris une board que la plupart des surfeurs considèreraient comme surdimensionnée pour mon gabarit, mais comme je suis avant tout SUPeur (80% de mes sessions), que mes derniers surfs ont été des longboards (Moodrive et Zero) et que j’ai la quarantaine bien entamée, j’ai préféré me garder une bonne marge de confort et de simplicité d’utilisation.

    1ère session aujourd’hui. Je m’attendais à découvrir une planche facile et rapide, mais franchement la vitesse générée est largement au-dessus de ce que j’imaginais! Testée dans des petites vagues rapides dans un bon offshore, cette planche est un avion!
    Et pour ce qui est de l’accessibilité elle est juste top, il semble qu’il n’y a pas de mauvais placement de pied possible dessus! Ultra tolérante au take-off, elle turbine dès qu’on pousse un peu sur les jambes et projette fort vers l’avant, d’autant plus que la construction epoxy donne une planche très légère et dynamique: la longueur et le volume sont oubliés dès qu’elle est en action.

    Du gros plaisir en perspective!

    I am 1.70m and 75kgs, so I took a board that most surfers would consider oversized for me, but as I am above all a SUPer (80% of my sessions), that my last surfboards have been longboards (Moodrive and Zero) and that I’m in my forties since a while, I preferred to keep a good margin of comfort and ease of use.

    1st session today. I expected to find an easy and fast board, but frankly the speed generated is way above what I imagined! Tested in small fast waves with a good offshore wind, this board is a fighter aircraft!
    And when it comes to accessibility it’s just top notch, it looks like there’s no bad footing possible on it! Ultra tolerant to take-off, it speeds up as soon as you push a little on the legs and project forward, especially since the epoxy construction gives a very light and dynamic board: length and volume are forgotten as soon as it is in action.

    A lot of pleasure in perspective!

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…
