A look at the retro shapes that make up GONG’s longboard range and the different technologies behind them.

Pampa, Deano, Frank, and Incredible—four shapes that embody a timeless and iconic era of longboarding—are featured in our extensive lineup. Designed for those who love endless noserides, cross-steps, stalls, and drop knee turns, these boards incorporate specific shape elements that the shaper of the range, Patrice Guénolé, breaks down in this video, model by model.

He also discusses the various technologies used, from classic PU to the innovative full carbon EPS Pro construction, which enhance the distinct character of these shapes and turn small conditions into sessions for the books.
