The inflatable SUP board with real radical surfing capacities!

Introduction

The Couine Marie are high-end boards created by a renowned shaper and passionate engineers.

Our ShortSUPs are totally hassle-free surf performance oriented boards !!! Inflated within minutes, they are light and lively.

Revolution in the inflatable: GONG offers it with FCS II boxes on production models sincs 2021!!!

The most practical and top-of-the-range Fin Boxes in the world are finally available on our Inflatable Boards. With our patented attachment system, you have access to FCS II performance, the best Fins in the world, and all this without a screw. Frankly, it’s awesome.

The 2+1 configuration (2 removable lateral fins in the standard FCS II, and 1 center fin mounted on a Us Box) delivers remarkable grip in the curves and allows you to change your fin set-up to explore different surfing feelings. The board accelerates off the rail, and you can put it all away in two seconds. A revolution.
We offer 4 sizes to satisfy all surfers and remain accessible to those who want to get into surfing waves on a SUP but for whom transport or storage space is a real problem.

Very lively and responsive underfoot thanks to its Welded Double Layer Woven construction, it reveals very good surfing abilities that will amaze more than one rider out there!

Compact and easy to transport, it is the perfect Board for a surf break in between two appointments or long distance surf trips.

We like to define our Couine Marie line as the full option version of inflatable SUP boards. They are equipped with all the top of the line accessories, a beautifully worked pad and a semi-rigid edge-rail at the tail for precision and maneuverability.

With a superb design, the Couine Marie ShortSUP is really a beautiful stand up paddle board at a record price and at the top of the range

It has it all:

a super comfortable foam lined bag,
a US box compatible with all the best fins,
ergonomic silicone “racing” carrying handles,
a central foam handle in soft neoprene,
a tail pad with kicker for better control in the surf and good positioning of your back foot in turns.

Construction

With its top of the range inflatable technology in Doubled Layered Welded Woven Dropstitch, this GONG board is beautiful, light, very rigid and really solid.

The Couine Marie are the best, yet still accessible with our direct sales distribution that does not add margins. We are far from the low cost boards made in low end factories by people who know nothing about it.

GONG is a serious and renowned brand, which got into Stand Up Paddling in its very early days and brought it to the level of respectability that we know today. It is therefore unthinkable for us to make low-end products that we see in supermarkets.

Equipements

When we know that the fins make 50% of the performance of a board, it was crucial for GONG to find strong technical solutions to improve the performance of the inflatable.

The Couine Marie ShortSUP is therefore delivered with a US central fin plus 2 lateral fins to the FCSII standard.

Our fin configuration is revolutionary for an inflatable SUP: the central US fin coupled with the two FCSII fins allow it to be fitted as a rigid SUP, with all the choice of the best fins in the world compatible without tools with your board to surf almost like on a rigid SUP.

The semi-rigid rails at the tail form a ridge that precise handling and improves water outflow. We go faster and the steering is finer in surfing.

It is equipped with three carrying handles to grab it easily. A central padded and neoprene handle to carry the board under your arm. Two ergonomic silicone “turtle” handles in the front third that allow you to either pass the foams by pulling the board, or to get out of the water by dragging the board over the water. Really practical!

The large diameter leash ring is the strongest on the market. And we’ve added a towing ring for safety, but also because it’s really handy to have an attachment point on the nose during transport, at anchor, or to secure a camera.

The 5 mm thick 3D Diamond Pad is particularly designed to be comfortable. It offers flawless grip and allows long sessions without tiring or slipping. The position of the pad on the board is optimized for surfing, with a real tail pad very far back with kicker to place your foot in the curves.

The supplied double-action inflation pump is super efficient to be the first in the water.

A repair kit is also included in the event of damage (note the kit is delivered without glue which you will easily find in your DIY store). Note that we have the components of your board in stock in order to repair it fairly easily.

Everything comes in a super practical and solid rolling carry bag.

The wheels are on the opposite side to the carrying face so as not to pinch your buttocks when walking and not to roll on the carrying straps.
These backpack straps are very padded and comfortable.
The handles are super strong and comfy.
The large front pocket allows you to store your accessories and personal effects without risking losing them.
And the compression straps keep the bag volume to a minimum.
Nothing is missing !

Shape

This compact shape is the ideal compromise between speed and maneuverability in surfing. Its fluid lines are designed to facilitate maneuvers. It’s a clever adaptation of the thousands of templates we’ve developed over the past 30 years that allows for such efficient and easy handling.

The take off is early because the distribution of the volume of an inflatable makes it start early on the wave. But its rocker is heavy to negotiate the slope of the wave with ease.

The outline refined at the tips and the semi-rigid edge rails at the tail allow you to draw beautiful curves with precision. The contribution of semi-rigid rails to drive and stability in surfing is obvious. It clearly boosts your surf and you can attack harder.

For each size, the volume is important to head to the line-up quickly and comfortably in order to take a maximum of waves.

Hi,
I bought the 9’5 Couine marie ShortSUP 9.5″ 2021 recently and was able to surf with it for a few hours. Its rocker in not very heavy, so I nose dived quite a bit at first, but once used to it, it was a real pleasure to surf. It Feels lively and stiff for an inflatable. It is really worth looking at this board. Certainly given its very reasonable price.
