FSP PRO Technology

  • Shape en 3D sur logiciel de modélisation.
  • Préshape à la commande numérique pour une fiabilité totale.
  • Contrôle du shape par templates traditionnels, finition du dernier mm 100% à la main.
  • Résine Epoxy et pain de mousse EPS : solide et léger.
  • Pont, carène et rails en sandwich PVC sous vide : une solidité incomparable et un dynamisme incroyable.
  • Pont : sandwich intégral PVC/Fibre de verre et carbone composé d’une âme en mousse de PVC haute densité et de 1 couche de fibre de verre 4oz et 1 couche de fibre de carbone 6oz, renforts en fibre de verre sur les zones sensibles.
  • Carène : sandwich intégral PVC/Fibre de verre et carbone composé d’une âme en mousse de PVC haute densité et de 1 couche de fibre de carbone 6oz, renforts en fibre de verre sur les zones sensibles.
  • Renforts spécifiques foil : bloc PVC haute densité accueillant les deux rails US. Trois couches de carbone couvrent ces box. Des lattes de PVC stratifiées connectent le renfort au pont pour la plus grande durabilité.
  • Rails : la structure sandwich PVC recouvre intégralement les rails : solidité structurelle accrue, très bonne résistance aux chocs.
  • Hot coat teintés dans la masse : noblesse du process, gain de poids et solidité de la finition.
  • Finition « custom finish » mat, réalisée à la main, pour un gain de poids et une meilleure glisse.FSP PRO

These boards are equipped with our innovative and high-end technology called FSP Pro. This full-carbon full sandwich PVC offers the best dynamism while preserving strength, at an incredible weight. It’s quite simply the ultimate in vacuum technology for customs, used as standard on our production models.

The shape is cut with a numerical control (CNC) from a high-end and lightweight EPS foam blank.

We glue in vacuum on the entire board, at a pressure of several tons, a fiberglass and high density PVC foam (called Airex) which forms a hydrophobic shell of 3mm that’s super strong and rigid.

Then we apply a carbon fiber which completely covers the sandwich of the board. This high-end fiber brings a crazy dynamism to the shape. The overlap of the two layers on the rails reinforces this portion of the shape and strongly stiffens the board.

These outer layers are also placed in vacuum. This modern process densifies the composite and leaves it only the exact dose of useful resin. The rest is absorbed by a blotting cloth to make your board as light as possible.

Then come the finishing coats with a first hot coat in epoxy resin, super resistant to impact. Then a polyester hot coat which will equalize the micro variations of the surface (less than a millimeter).

And finally the decoration which is as light as possible, therefore with transparency effects which reveal the construction for the greatest pleasure of the eyes. We don’t like painting because it puts on a lot of weight and it’s fragile. We prefer noble materials directly accessible under your eyes and sublimated by some stylish decorative elements.

Our technology is truly the pinnacle of board building. Durable, efficient, repairable, the brands capable of offering a total PVC sandwich in large series of surf foiling boards can be counted on the fingers of one hand and GONG is the leading one!

At GONG our boards are the highest quality. Our low prices may come as a surprise, but they can only be explained by our direct sales model which eliminates margins.

Finally if by bad luck you damage your board, it will be easily repairable because it was well built. We stock components for your preferred repairer and publish dozens of tutorials to help you maintain your equipment throughout its life.
