"choppy and windy" are challenging conditions on anything.take care with the gong board ive got the 911 and it chips real easy exposing white under the red gloss,even resting mine on the beach caught it on a stone white scratch ouch

cheers ian

Good choice, this board is a killer.

No worries with the paint, the first generation of Gong boards had a really thin layer of paint, they improved that on the second generation.

I've had a 9'11 when I was in Gran Canaria and after 6 month of intensive use it never needed any resin job (but yeah, I've left red paint on the canarian rocks) ; actually after hitting really hard my paddle on the board when surfing I chipped the paddle (gong fiber paddle) and only took a bit of paint of the board.

If you like your paddle and go waveriding more than cruising, try to protect it as well.

I'm looking forward to see some pics of yours.

here's the video of Xavier Leroy riding the 10'2 :

Looks like he's got it set up as a full thruster as opposed to big centre fin with side biters.

The 10'2 has a quad fin set up

Eric, did you check surfing spots on Tenerife when in the Canary Islands?

Yeah, I've actually been living 2 years in Tenerife, it has plenty of good waves the best season is European winter and if you're not afraid of a good swim to the rocks when you snap your legrope you can find uncrowded jewels.

here's another vid from the Gongsup guys on the west coast of Tenerife :

For boards that scratch easy those guys are pretty rough with them. Great video though.

What are you going to call her sweden?
