Couldn't wait to try this new version of Gong small-wave machine, the One, designed for 1' waves.
So I decided to get it out, even if the waves were more than its intended range... after some hairy out-of-control rides (before the video), I spend the rest of the session letting the board go through its paces to quietly (on the shoulder) feel its nature... and also a bit scared by the bigger waves at the beginning of the session :-)

PS: I love these kind of noses: wide enough for stability, but pulled-in enough for not to be cumbersome. With them, I can dig a lot of rail in late drops to get the stability of a longuer board...



There is also a youtube version, but it does not displays on mobiles due to restriction on the music:

That looks like fun Nice looking board too (from what I could see). 6'10" - seems so short! How wide is it?

Unique looking board, looks to be working for you though, nice little clip.

Cheers for sharing.

It is the Gong One, 31.5" wide

The buoy during the video was at 0.8m/1.3m, 12s. The day after I got a killer session with it in the conditions it shines in: 0.3m/0.5m 11s (clean tiny punchy waves)

Actually the wide nose gives a quite long rail, so the row effect is not as pronounced as with a semi-pointed nose.
The One was a quite specific shape the years before, but now this shape is made in 3 versions, a bit like wetsuits have now Short and Tall variants (M, MS, MT)

The Normal 120l: 7'6"x31" gongsupshop.com/GONG-SUP-76-MOB-120-PRO-XTR
The "Tall" version ("SP"): 8'3"x30" gongsupshop.com/epages/box1707.sf/fr_FR/?ObjectPath=/Shops/box1707/Products/GON7SUPMOBSPPRO83
The "Short" version ("One") 6'10"x31.5" www.gong-galaxy.com/magazine/pics/1-hour-4-boards/

The taller+thinner you go, the bigger waves it can handle. The shorter+fatter get a boost of power for small waves.
Or the taller+thinner are super easy boards for the intermediates, if they get one with enough volume for them.
The drawback is that you have to move a lot the rear foot to dance all around the wide tail. and boards with a more pulled-in tail are easier to manage in the pocket, such as the Fatal: gongsupshop.com/epages/box1707.sf/fr_FR/?ObjectPath=/Shops/box1707/Products/GON7SUPFATPRO75
