Inflatable FIRST Technology

The First range is our budget friendly range of inflatable boards, but do not be fooled by the name, the only cheap thing about them is their price. The construction truly is amazing at this price point, miles ahead of what you could find at your local supermarket.

First boards are perfect do discover the SUP and for recreational use but they can do much more thanks to their refined and well performing shapes. The Couine Marie range will be ideal to those who want to go further in their practice of SUP, or just want the best the industry has to offer.

The technology and materials used when manufacturing both First and Couine Marie boards are different, but the materials used on First boards are still very high quality.

First boards are assembled with one layer on the deck and hull, and two layers on the rails which offers excellent rigidity.

  • Board 100% Mirasol Drop Stitch, the best material.
  • Simple layered 1000D PVC on the top and the bottom, very light weight.
  • Double layered 1000D PVC on the rails, super solid board.
  • Thickness 6″ (15cm) for the best stiffness
  • Air Pressure: 15 psi. Factory controlled at 25 psi.

Built in the best factory in the world, the First is a magnificent board at a never seen price. Forget the low cost and low quality boards coming out of low-end factories, the First simply is a high end board with less accessories and a simple but styling visual to keep the price affordable.

Its technology uses thick PVC, which can handle every possible family use without bending. It is a very rigid board that performs really well.

GONG is a renowned and serious brand, who took Stand Up Paddle at its birth and brought it to the level of respectability and performance that is now associated with the sport . Proud of this, we would never consider building a low end board similar to those sold in supermarkets.
