Narrow sup foil probably intended for downwinding, showing versatility.
Injured at the moment but chasing a one board quiver for ding, sup and downwind.

Really like this idea. Love the shape and with straps such a versatile option.
Very interested in a light wind option + all options too!

Yes, downwind-specific.
I guess it requires some practice to use the foil to add the stability lacking from the lack of width while paddling... never stand still?

Colas, what foil setup is he using? He has great skills!

Well... he is the 2022 world champion :-)

So what he use may or not be adapted to your needs...
On the vid it is the HM 70 mast and Foil Pro Fluid H wing

I trust Gong is making wider models for the average rider. I have always liked Gongs range of products, but, only owned the Hipe 5'3" and an early 7m hand wing, both bought second hand.

Having a South Pacific distributor would be awesome.

If the big bear is listening, I would love to join the team.

He is too busy for reading other forum than the Gong one, but you can always contact him directly.
All regular full time employees have to be based at the HQ in France, but team riders can be anywhere on the planet.

That board looks absolutely amazing and such a fantasic video , what size is it Colas 6-6 x what

They're a good size - not too wide either.

6"6 x 18 7/8" and 112L
The 6"0 - 6"3 would be a weapon light wind wing board. And as Malo is doing, prone into sup, so good!

As King Crash said, everything is on the web site. The "size chart" offers a comprehensive summary:


And in the picture gallery, just click on the left arrow to look at the last image, which is a summary of main dims out of the shape software: (the version on the Gong site is legible as bigger, seabreeze auto-shrink it for consistency here). The curves are the volume (black) and surface (blue) distribution along the length.

Yeah the litres are the trick , gone are the ankle-wet days BUT still need to sink the rail for stability. The 7-0 for my 89kgs would be very nice (7.5kg not light though) even like to try the 6-6 . I'd pull the trigger if not for the freight cost. Seriously impressed with the Gong Emporium.

Roughly A$2,000 for the board. But any idea how much freight is? A friend is getting a few wings albeit they're much smaller and cheaper to ship hence negligible cost.

Currently Gong does not ship hard boards outside of Europe. Issues with logistics, support...
Although they may find a solution in the future.

Note that for the things they ship now (wings, inflatables...), non-EU customers do not pay the French VAT (20%) included in prices displayed on the site.

Oh. there I was getting hyped on potentially getting one of these. Damn alright well I'll have to stay waiting and watching! A$1,500 is beyond reasonable for a new board, given nothing is close to that domestically, and only really backyard builders can offer you close to that.

You can email and ask them at logistics@gong.com or something like that. I did it recently to ask about getting a wingboard to CA, USA. They said they could ship it with DHL and it was about $350.
