In a nutshell

This shape is designed for adventure. Its taut lines are designed to promote paddling speed and comfort. It is a clever adaptation of the thousands of templates that we have developed over the past 30 years that allows us to have such efficient and facilitating behavior.

In cruising, we appreciate its glide specific to inflatable boards, all in fluidity. Thanks to its volume and large width, this shape offers great paddling comfort, which is essential for long excursions. If you want to pick up the pace, its contoured nose will accelerate with ease. In more difficult conditions, its raised and slender nose allows the choppy water to flow calmly like a bow. The outline with its round tail is very buoyant, it accepts positioning errors and allows you to turn without forcing.

On waves or swells, the take off is early because the distribution of the volume of an inflatable makes it start early on the wave. It’s a very fast board thanks to its almost constant rocker. Its voluminous round tail allows you to step back in the surf or downwind, it’s super stable. Once back, it’s really fun!

For each size, the volume is important, it can accompany you from your beginnings to excursions of several hours. It’s the versatile shape between 90% ride and 10% surf for all sizes.

Rocker: almost constant and nose up. Quick and easy rowing.

Rails: by nature, soft and round all along, which provides a very fluid glide.

Volume: the ideal thickness to offer generous volume and rigidity.

Outline: an easy round tail, very stable in the center with a thinner nose for cutting through the chop.

Tail: easy and soft round tail to turn without forcing.

Nose: point nose for rowing speed.

Inflatable COUINE MARIE Technology

Couine Marie boards have a double thermo welded layer on the deck, hull and rails. It makes them even more rigid while still being very light.

The dropstitch used inside Couine Marie board is a Woven Dropstitch : it is the best assembly technique of the inflatable world, for best in class performance, rigidity and lightness.

Woven Dropstitch Double Layer Welded technology, the best compromise between weight/stiffness/strength. Combining our historical Double Layer Welded technology with the new Woven Dropstitch, this technology is by far the most reliable, lightest and stiffest.
Weight savings of around 20% compared to the classic Double Layer (no glue between the 2 welded PVC layers).
Rigidity gain of 30% compared to standard technology.
Strength gain: twice as thick as standard technology.
Double layer of PVC on the rails.
Triple layer central stringer on deck and hull for maximum rigidity and reduced vibration.
Premium Woven Dropstitch: the slightest irregularity is refused and the batch is resold to low cost factories.
High density Dropstitch Woven: with more threads per square meter than a basic Woven, it resists much higher pressures, lasts much longer, and does not present a risk of explosion.
Working pressure: 15 PSI. Our Stand Up Paddle Boards are perfectly rigid at 15 PSI. There is no need to overinflate them, but you can mount them at 20 PSI without any problem.
Two-year Warranty on all our Inflatable Boards.
We keep in stock all the elements that make up your Board because we are manufacturers. So, you can easily repair them and make them last for more than ten years. It’s as simple as repairing a bicycle wheel.

Buying guide

For whom?

The shape of this board makes it suitable for SUPers of all levels. From pure beginners to experienced enthusiasts.

First, because it is easy. This will help beginners, but offer a lot of comfort to the pro who will use it in a relaxed mode.

For what?

For a cruise, more cruising and a whole lotta cruising. Of course, this Couine Marie will take you everywhere. In nice little cruising or expedition mode, the CM Cruising is just great because of its comfortable width combined with a real fast shape.

Which size SUP Couine Marie Cruising ?

Even if anything is possible, we list here the main uses:

The 11’6 x 32’’ Cruising

Outings of less than an hour and a half on all types of water.
Not great for surfing. More like 80% cruising and 20% surfing. It glides well and straight ahead.
Rider size: less than 85kg ideally but it doesn’t matter because it’s very easy.

The 12’6 x 33’’ Cruising

Outings of more than one hour on all water bodies. Perfect to go on an adventure.
Not great in surfing. Rather 80% riding and 20% surfing. It glides well and straight ahead.
Rider size: Very easy for everyone. No stress.

The 13’6 x 35’’ Cruising

Outings of several hours on all water bodies. Perfect to go on an adventure.
Not great in surfing. Rather 80% riding and 20% surfing. It glides well and straight ahead.
Rider size: Very easy for everyone. No stress.

Understanding the GONG range ?

What is the difference between our First range and Couine Marie range ?

Best quiver choices?

This board is perfect with a Carbon Mix 100% GONG Paddle cut to the right size or adjustable, and a top of the range fiberglass or carbon fin.

What length of paddle?

The way you paddle, your stance and the frequency at which you paddle will depend on your program. You will need a longer paddle for touring for multiple hours, while you would need a shorter paddle for surfing in order to facilitate quick and strong paddle strokes to catch a wave. Take your time to pick the right length/setting for your paddle, because it will help give you the stability and performance you will need.

Examples:
For a 100% surfing session, set your paddle between your waist and +10cm.
For more relaxed surfing, a +10cm paddle will be perfect.
For a ride, set your paddle between +10 and +20cm.

Which leash?

For the Couine Marie Cruising range, a 10 ’leash is ideal. Depending on your preferences and your use, you can choose a classic ankle or knee leash for a mixed cruising/surfing use, or a coiled leash that limits drag for a 100% cruising use.

Check its condition before each session and change it every year. This is your life jacket.

Good to know:

Never leave your board in the sun, let alone an inflatable board which will heat up very quickly. You risk seeing it peel off because the materials it is made of become flexible in the heat. Never store it under a car window, or in contact with a heat source.

Never let your board get roughed up in the waves, especially when you’re close to the beach. You have to protect it from major strains. A wave that takes your board and rolls it can do damage.

Do not hold it by the leash indefinitely because it can give way under very high tension. Avoid big waves and don’t resist. If it breaks, it’s easy to change but annoying.

Stay away from oysters: this is one of the few seashells that can cut your board and sink it in seconds. Be careful +++

Don’t let your inflatable board rub on something for a long time. It can happen on a boat, for example, that your board moves with each wave and rubs for hours in the same place. The material will disintegrate because it will be as sanded. You will have a hole that will need to be covered with a patch.

Never put the board between the wave and you: risk of a broken nose type injury ?

Do not paddle far at sea with an offshore wind, and avoid windy outings as it is rarely fun and always dangerous. SUP is an activity that involves real risks, even in seemingly peaceful conditions. Always anticipate these risks and protect yourself.

Equipments

Our Couine Marie range is the Full Options version of inflatable boards, the very best out there.

The Couine Marie CRUISING comes with a US central fin because the objective of the Couine Marie range is to have a high performance SUP. When we know that the fin makes 50% of the performance of a board, GONG had to come up with a relevant solution. This is why our inflatable SUPs offer a US box for the center fin. Thus, you will have access to the largest standard on the high-end fin market. A huge choice of fins to adapt according to your level, your practice and the conditions.

It is equipped with all the high-end accessories:

a new ultra-worked Velvet Traction Pad which now equips all our top-end boards;
a central padded handle in soft neoprene;
ergonomic silicone racing carrying handles;
handles on the nose and tail to carry with someone else;
our ELS feature for very simply and firmly attaching bags / bottles etc. to your board;
a fin with a quality shape and a US box compatible with all the best fins;
a spacious and robust wheeled bag.

It is equipped with five carrying handles to grab it easily.

A central padded and neoprene handle to carry the board under your arm.
Two ergonomic silicone “turtle” handles in the front third that allow you to either pass the foams by pulling the board, or to get out of the water by dragging the board over the water.
Ergonomic front and rear silicone grips for easy launching and handling of the board in the water and on land. Really practical!

The Couine Marie SUP boards are now equipped with our ELS feature (Extendable Load System). These adjustable, elastic and aesthetic straps have been specially designed to allow you to easily install all your equipment on board.

We have made using the ELS system extremely easy and intuitive. The elastic straps are easy to adjust. No more struggle to slip (sometimes in vain) your bag under the bungee cords at the risk of crushing your stuff. Simply loosen the straps, install your gear, and retighten them to perfectly fix your load.

Our ELS feature simplifies your life and saves you precious time while bringing a touch of style and modernity to your board!

The large diameter leash ring is the strongest on the market. And we’ve added a towing ring for safety, but also because it’s really handy to have an attachment point on the nose during transport, at anchor, or to secure a camera.

The new 5 mm Traction Velvel Pad is particularly designed to be even more comfortable. Very aesthetic, it offers a perfect grip and a velvet touch! The feeling is ultra soft and you can feel the board perfectly under your feet. The board is all the more responsive. Long sessions without tiring or slipping are all yours!

The supplied double-action inflation pump is super efficient to be the first in the water.

A repair kit is also included in the event of damage (note the kit is delivered without glue which you will easily find in your DIY store). Note that we have the components of your board in stock in order to repair it fairly easily.

Everything comes in a super practical and solid rolling carry bag.

The wheels are on the opposite side to the carrying face so as not to pinch your buttocks when walking and not to roll on the carrying straps.
These backpack straps are very padded and comfortable.
The handles are super strong and comfy.
The large front pocket allows you to store your accessories and personal effects without risking losing them.
And the compression straps keep the bag volume to a minimum.

Nothing is missing !

To summarize the features of the Couine Marie Cruising

1 removable single fin with US Standard box allowing the use of a variety of fins.
2 forward ergonomic carry handles for transport, rolling over in the waves and for passenger comfort.
