Shortboard competition: the steroid version of our do-it-all Shortboard (the Alu) for incredible performance in our european conditions!

Presentation

Performance Shortboard shaped for excelling in small to medium conditions and/or imperfect ones, and what we usually see happening during Heats. The Chemical gives her best in 1m/1m20 on wave that is somewhat mushy with very little shoulder. The combination between acceleration and pivot nulifies these conditions, it’s impressive efficiency and allows you to lay down all your moves in your repertoire. It’s an extremely nervy board, hyper-active and makes it possible to solicite the entire length of the wave where its natural speed makes for linking moves with fluidity. The width at the back foot is consistent and the kick quite low. The resulting acceleration is magic, with speed reached very quickly and within a very short distance making the completion of move easy and radical. The hull has had some work done : a simple pronouced concave under the front foot and a double concave running between the stance ending up in a Vee at the back foot. The rail to rail is instinctive, magic and the drive super precise, speed and maneuverability are explosive. This board is available in PU or EPS, 2 different forms of construction and in 7 different sizes to fit everyones sizes needs and skill level to coincide with your personnal discipline. A highly reactive, efficient Board who’s directionnal guidance’s instinctual and perfectly conducive to a moderne and dynamic drive.

Delivery delay

We indicate a preparation and shipping time of 3 working days. In reality, the majority of orders are shipped within 24/48 hours.

The delivery time, i.e. delivery time of the package to your home, then depends on the delivery location and the carrier.

We work with reliable and efficient carriers. 99% of shipments go perfectly and quickly. In the case of the remaining 1%, rest assured that we will do what is necessary with the carrier.

Shipping fees

Unlike other sites, shipping costs are not hidden behind the price of our products. You know exactly what shipping costs you, and you are not disadvantaged if you choose to collect your order at our GONG Space Center.

We work with the best transport societies to deliver to you throughout Europe and the world within very short deadlines. We chose them for their quality of service and their compliance with deadlines.

For mainland France, 80% of your orders arrive at their destination in less than 48 hours of processing.

For Europe, delivery times vary from 3 to 6 working days, depending on the country of destination.

For the rest of the world, delivery times depend on transit time and customs clearance time. This delay depends on customs and can last from a few days to a few weeks depending on the destination and seasonality.

Please note, transport time is added to preparation/shipping time. Two companies collaborate on your order (GONG and the carrier). Each one masters its activity and is committed to optimizing its deadlines so that you are delivered as quickly as possible and at a reasonable price.

Eco-responsible packaging

Preserving the environment is an absolute priority. This is why we do everything possible to reduce our ecological footprint.

How to properly glue your pads?

The question of the pad often comes down to an aesthetic choice for the look of your board. But what seems like luxury to non-pros is actually a huge help.
If surfing is the art of placement then you need to put your feet properly on the board. And what better than a touch marker to know, ok, I’m at the sweet spot for this turn.?

Sticking good pads is therefore essential. They will signal to your feet whether they are in the perfect position or not.
You still have to stick them properly, and some get very creative…
