A legendary discipline once reserved for a few insiders, now ready for everyday practice.
With the new I-Prone Trainer range, GONG opens the doors to an incredibly complete discipline with huge benefits for both physical fitness and mental well-being, and virtually unlimited time on the water.
Far more than just training, prone paddling develops endurance, cardio, core strength, mobility and water-reading skills. Qualities that immediately carry over into all your other disciplines: surf, wing, foil, downwind or kite.
Until now, prone paddling remained reserved for a handful of insiders: long and bulky hard boards, difficult transport, complicated storage, fragility, high costs and demanding day-to-day logistics.
With the I-Prone Trainer boards, everything changes. It finally becomes possible to fully enjoy an intense, fluid and instinctive practice:
- kneeling or prone paddling;
- feeling the water between your fingers;
- working cardio, core strength, back and shoulders;
- improving surf paddling;
- reading the water surface from water level;
- taking off early on swells;
- making the most of weak waves, bumps and long diagonals;
- coastal rescue training;
- getting on the water even when conditions are too weak for anything else.
