The artist Pongo 3D and the board design

Pongo 3D is a pioneer of Italian graffiti and the inventor of 3D painting on walls and canvas. He creates his three-dimensional works with spray paint and acrylics. They leave plenty of room for interpretation and invite you to look at things from a different angle.

The Pongo 3D board can be seen in three dimensions through iconic red and blue 3D glasses. Without the glasses the artwork looks like a colour shift, and with them it gains depth.

Construction and details

2LF Fusion: two layers without glue

The board is made of PVC laminated Drop-Stitch fabric with a second layer that is heat fused to the base without glue. According to the manufacturer, this construction is up to 25% lighter than a standard double layer board, with greater stiffness and durability. The board weighs 14 kg, has one air chamber, and the recommended pressure is 18-20 PSI (1.24-1.37 bar).

Carbon fibre paddle
The package includes an adjustable paddle with a carbon fibre shaft and a PVC blade (612 cm²). The length adjusts from 165 to 210 cm, so the paddle can be set to your height. An anti-twist joint keeps the blade from rotating while you paddle.

Bravo pump with pressure gauge
The Bravo hand pump (2x2000 cc) is designed for high pressure valves with a bayonet connection. A switch lets you pump in double action at the start and single action once the pressure is higher. The pressure gauge is built into the pump, so you see the pressure as you pump.

Action camera mount
The package includes a mount for a GoPro type action camera. Fit it to the board to film your outing from water level.

Stability and handling on the water

The manufacturer aims the Pongo 3D at ambitious beginners and intermediate paddlers who need a manoeuvrable board with a more serious technical character. The 81 cm width and 304 L volume give good side stability. The three-fin system, a removable centre Slide fin and two fixed side fins, helps the board track and turn easily. The maximum capacity is 145 kg, and the manufacturer recommends the board for paddlers up to 100 kg.
