In a nutshell

This shape is designed to share a session with others. Its huge surface area and record volume provide a lot of comfort and stability.

The impressive dimensions of this SUP are perfect for maintaining rigidity and ease for multiple person use. The surface is well distributed, especially at the nose and tail: it is very load-bearing at the ends to avoid falls. Everyone’s mistakes are imperceptible, that’s fun !!!

Rocker: almost flat and raised nose. Fast and easy paddling.
Rails: by nature soft and round all along, which provides a very smooth ride.
Volume: a huge and super stiff volume. Super easy.
Outline: an XXL square tail, very stable in the center and a generous round nose.
Tail: a huge, super-buoyant square tail.
Nose: round point nose that carries.

Doubled Layered Welded Woven Dropstitch

With its top of the range inflatable technology in Doubled Layered Welded Woven Dropstitch, this GONG XXL board is beautiful, light, very rigid and really solid.

Manufactured in the best factory in the world, with the densest and highest quality Woven Dropstitch, we are sure that its glue composites will last for years, without leakage or deformation. The I-SUP are the best, yet still accessible with our direct sales distribution that does not add margins.

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?

For those who want to have fun and share good times.

For what?

Cruising, games, cool surfing, but above all living these great experiences together.

What I-SUP Family size ?

Even if everything is possible, we mark here the main uses:

The 12’0 x 36’’ Family

Cruising for less than an hour on all water bodies.

Understanding the GONG range ?

What is the difference between our First range and I-SUP 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 I-SUP FAMILY range, a 10′ leash is ideal. Depending on your preferences, you can choose an ankle or knee leash. But on the 16 ’we recommend not to use it in waves and not to wear a leash. The traction would be too strong.

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 I-SUP range is the Full Options version of inflatable boards, the very best out there.

The I-SUP Family 16’0 comes with a US central fin because the objective of the I-SUP 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;

14 handles to facilitate carrying and maintaining passengers;
our ELS feature for very simply and firmly attaching bags / bottles etc. to your board;

two fins with a quality shape and a US box compatible with all the best fins.

It is equipped with fourteen carrying handles to carry it easily. Two handles on the central axis of the board for holding.

Ten ergonomic silicone handles on the sides of the board that allow it to be handled / carried by several people and for passengers to hold on to be more comfortable. Ergonomic front and rear silicone handles for easy launching and handling of the board in the water and on land. Really practical!

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 rapid and efficient so you can be the first in the water. Plan a compressor or several pumps if you don’t want to spend the day there ?
