Description: Selling a lightly used Gong Inflatable compact 5'6" short surfboard. Comes with pump, FCS2 removeable fins, leash, and super nice travel backpack, and patch kit. You can check it as a regular back on airlines with room for you wetsuit or maybe even fit it in the overhead as carry-on depending on the airlines. Tons of volume, good nose rocker, and a added rubber tailbox help this board perform more like a hardboard.At 15 to 20 psi of inflation pressure this board gets quite rigid/firm. Compared to other boards its floats 4x better than our 5'6" Wavestorm and 2x as well as my 6'6" Catch Surf Skipper and ~1.5x my son's 5'10" Surface softtop. *as you can see the front-foot black deckpad/traction pad is not perfectly centered on the board (a little off to the right). That's how it came to me new and does not affect performance, strictly aesthetic.* I used it a few times in the ocean but cleaned it well before storing. As a 230lb novice who surfs once a year the short length was a bit aspirational.Was hoping to use it on some river waves but don't have the time or proximity to make that happen. Get more portability, convenience, safety, and fun than even a softtop foamboard for right around the same used price and catch some waves. Per the manufacturer... The GONG SURF INFLATABLE COMPACT is perfect for summer waves. It paddles fast for its size because it is thick. When you take off, you just have to plant the tail a little to start in three paddle strokes. Its surfing qualities are surprising with a one third very wide rear to accelerate, which naturally generates a lot of speed. And paradoxically, it turns really well thanks to its small size, which is very playful. For an inflatable board, the surfing performances are amazing. It’s the ideal board for soft waves, but also for hollow shorebreaks which require a small board to slide down the slope gently. Its range of use is therefore really wide and will cover most of the summer sessions. Safety is a key argument on this range of inflatable boards. Storage is obviously an asset, but the protection of the inflatable against impacts for both the surfer and the board itself are a real plus. A truly original board for an unbelievable pleasure without the constraints of a rigid board!
