Gong Alu 5’6” Kite Surfboard

Description

Gong Alu 5’6” Kite Surfboard

All round surf shape, smooth carving, effcient drive and glide, stable and ideal for UK conditions.

The Gong Alu kiteboard is the sharpened shape to shred in onshore surfing.

Durable construction

Full length deck pad giving excellent grip all over

Used but still many years of use left in the board

Description

It planes early, with a back foot providing support for heading upwind and getting out past the waves, while remaining a board dedicated to radical surfing.

The big plus of this board is its incredible dynamism. In onshore or mediocre conditions, one often needs more acceleration, the ability to head upwind, and speed. With its powerful tail, the Alu takes off immediately and delivers these three essential qualities for mobility on the water.

As soon as you start surfing, it reveals its dynamic shortboard nature! With its narrow nose and rails, it performs strongly in both small, soft waves and big, powerful swells. It knows how to be radical in a variety of conditions.

In strapless mode, you have a board that will love freestyle thanks to its significant pop. The tail works miracles here too. And with the board’s surface concentrated between the feet, you have a board that will naturally stick to your feet in the air.

It’s THE ideal onshore kite surfboard.

Construction

FSP Kitesurf Technology

The FSP technology is easily repairable when new in case of a Ding. The PVC foam of the sandwich is waterproof and prevents water from entering on everyday shocks. The EPS foam blank does not deteriorate because it is really protected from water. And the repairs have a much larger support to stick on and blend seamlessly with the surrounding material.

This technology offers, at an affordable price, the incomparable strength/lightness ratio of full vacuum PVC Sandwich.

• 3D Shape on modeling software.
• Preshape by the numerical control for total reliability.
• Shape control by traditional templates, finishing of the last mm 100% by hand.
• 100% Epoxy Board and EPS Blank Foam: solid and lightweight.
• Deck, hull and rails in PVC Vacuumed Sandwich: incomparable strength and incredible dynamism.
• Deck: integral PVC/Fiberglass Sandwich composed of a high-density PVC foam core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass and 1 layer of 6oz Biaxial fiberglass, fiberglass reinforcements on sensitive areas.
• Hull: integral PVC/Fiberglass Sandwich composed of a high-density PVC foam core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass and 1 layer of 6oz Biaxial fiberglass, fiberglass reinforcements on the sensitive areas.
• Specific Foil reinforcements: high-density PVC block housing the two US Rail Boxes. Three layers of carbon cover the Boxes. Laminated PVC slats connect the reinforcement to the deck for maximum durability.
• Rails: the PVC Sandwich structure completely covers the rails: increased structural strength, very good shock resistance.
• Hot Coat integrated Tinted Resin: nobility of the process, weight reduction and solidity of the finish.
• Matt custom finish, hand-made, for weight reduction and better glide.
