The Wing Plus The Plus 2023 makes you progress faster than any other wing. First thanks to its record lightness which allows an easy and very comfortable handling. You don’t get tired with the Plus. All maneuvers are easier with this featherweight wing. Then thanks to its power at the heart of the profile which allows you to fly within two pumping strokes to discover wing foiling without having to be overpowered. We progress with confidence in a pleasant wind range. Finally, thanks to the smooth feel of the Plus 2023 which absorbs wind gusts like no other with its dynamic twisting that retains the air in the low range and releases the power in the high range. Magical. The PLUS is equipped with 3 windows offering an exceptional panoramic view when sailing. The integrated window in the hollow panel of the canopy allows you to maintain maximum visibility during maneuvers, which is crucial to your safety as you learn and progress in tricks. It’s no mystery, the number of hours of practice makes the difference in your progression. So when learning you need a wing that gets you flying early, handles gusts smoothly and is easy to handle . When progressing, solidity is a crucial point. The Plus is light but really strong. First, thanks to the premium materials we use. Then thanks to the quality of assembly which ensures record breaking strength. Finally by a clever design which positions the seams in a way that stiffens the wing but also limits tearing in the event of a contact with the foil. Note that the bladder is easier to access at the tips if you ever need to change it. The evolution of the 2023 models is truly incredible. Handling and accessibility are boosted. Steering the wing is really more comfortable and more intuitive; be it for your first flights or your first tricks. In high performance, the Plus compares to the best wings, namely since its thing is to do everything well and easily. Which gives it incredible potential that a rider like Malo will demonstrate with huge front flips in 15 knots with a 5m2. Crazy potential. The Plus 2023 is the most versatile wing to date. For more information, click here.

The Foil Rise XL This Foil Rise XL is the easiest to progress in wing foiling. Generous but without excess, they fly at very low speed, which is reassuring and allows you to complete maneuvers without being afraid. No need to overspeed to enjoy the Rise, you fly relaxed and you feel comfortable very quickly. The low ratio naturally reduces speed and increases tolerance. It’s ideal for feeling safe. The foil does not start at 25 knots as soon as you climb on it to catapult you into an uncontrollable fall. On the contrary, the Rise is gentle and simple. Be careful, it’s quite fast enough for a beginner because it will naturally go much faster than a surfboard! It’s not a turtle ? It’s simply adapted to the needs of a beginner who will regularly fly at very low speeds due to mistakes. And there the Rise will save you from losing the flight. A super reassuring wing in flight, but also in handling, so that your beginnings are really simple. Equipements :

The foil consists of a Rise Front Wing XL with a 45 cm Rise Stabilizer.
The 80cm Allvator Original aluminum mast and the fuselage will offer you nice perfs for an ultra tight price.
The 4-hole plate, with standard center distances, will offer you a perfect connection between your foil and your board.
The complete screw kit with tightening key is supplied. Everything is delivered in a very practical transport bag to store and transport your dismantled foil.

GLOBAL

HIPE First

The shape of the HIPE First is designed to facilitate beginnings. Great in flight, it is also designed to navigate easily on the water when take-off isn’t mastered yet.

Its rocker is relaxed at the nose then flat on the rest of the hull up to the tail to boost the take-off phase.

The wide but not excessive tail brings a lot of stability to accept positioning errors of beginners. It avoids the cork effect in the chop.

The max width is centered and generous to easily find your balance when on your knees, but also to help maneuverability on the tacks and during the first maneuvers on the water.

The nose remains thin in order not to stick to the water. The board is really pretty, and it works just as well gliding on the water as it does when flying.

The rails are round, as on all inflatable boards. We made use of this natural shape to help the water slide off the board. It does not stick to the rails, and this is even more so at the tail. This round tail is the most effective for gliding fast before flying.

You take off easily, at least as fast as with a rigid board. It’s really stunning.

Rocker: rather flat for early take-offs and pre-flight glide.
Rails: round because inflatable, very efficient.
Volume: generous for each size.
Outline: semi-compact for a good glide even when not flying.
Tail : large round tail for stability at standstill and to boost take-offs.
Nose : round point nose.

Wing

On the Plus 2023, the hollow is quite important in the center for power, the tips twist in gusts and its size is reduced to the maximum to facilitate learning.

The new leading edge segmentation includes a short (of a large diameter) center section to stiffen the dihedral. This also reinforces the connection between the strut and the leading edge, which blocks all deformations and this unpleasant feeling of seeing the leading edge twist leeward at the strut. The strut and the leading edge stay in the original plane, even if you pull hard. We really jump higher, further , we go faster and it accelerates hard!
A second section has been added to optimize the performance of the profile thanks to a more progressive cut in the front of the shape. The profile is softer, slightly more hollow in front, more domed. We no longer have the impression that the wing sometimes cavitates.

The Plus 2023 has a new smoother angulation between the leading edge segments to limit flex with moderate diameters, while allowing the wing to breathe more.

The diameter of the segments at the tips of the Plus 2023 has been reduced to offer a more tolerant, softer wing, with a natural glide. The tips are also closed in and slightly twisted, which reduces the wingspan by 20cm, keeps them away from the water in all three axes and guarantees efficient pumping.
It is for sure the easiest wing for beginners but not only.

All new central Z batten shape. The assembly of the panels is now perpendicular to the strut, like the leading edge, which makes it much stronger at high pressure. The connection with the new central segments is firmer. The central third is studied so as not to bend between the hands. Because it is between the hands that a large part of flexing develops, loosening the trailing edge. We blocked this point for more power and precision of the wing.
Finally, the rear third of the batten is sewn directly into the canopy without using an extra panel for the hollow. This increases the batten section at the back hand and gives it greater resistance to leeward bending. The strut is twice as stiff, guaranteeing a constant shape in jumps or gusts. The rear hand acts directly on the trailing edge thanks to a diagonal cut on the last section of the central strut. Thus the rear point of the rear handle is placed after the start of this wide cone, pulling on the rear hand closes the strut instead of letting it open on the classic struts. This reduces flapping and delivers an impressive power. The stiffness gained allows you to control the wing with great finesse and brings consistency in its behavior.

The wing PLUS 2023 is tolerant, easy and super efficient in pumping. You will take off early from the first pumping strokes and it will facilitate the frequent relaunches when you’re learning.

Many good riders make it their wing of choice for its versatility and lightness.

For whom?

Board

You are looking for a board to start in wing or SUP foiling, the HIPE First is made for you.

For wing foiling, the HIPE First is the super accessible board to get started. The large sizes are magic for your beginnings: zero stress.
For SUP foiling, you must know how to row in a straight line with a classic SUP. The rest is just a matter of method and time in the water to progress. The absence of strap inserts facilitates the placement of the feet in SUP foiling.

Each size is easy, just choose the right size in line with your level, your physical condition and your use.

Wing plus

Designed for beginners but also for experts, the Plus wing is really perfect to discover this sport and progress quickly.

But it is also suitable for the more experienced because its power to weight ratio is the best in the range. This is an incredible asset in a lot of situations, in freeride, freestyle, and also in the waves. And with its well placed hollow, it is game on in freerace.

Foil

You can start smoothly with this foil. Everything is simpler and safer. And in case of breakage you have all the spare parts for a ridiculous price.

For what?

Board

The HIPE First is the perfect board to start and progress in wing and SUP foiling.

On land, it’s inflated and stored away in a few minutes and there is no risk of shocks. It’s great for traveling. And it is super light.

In wing foiling. It’s very easy, you will progress very quickly.
In SUP foiling, it’s great to start and progress when you’re already a good paddler.

Wing Plus

Clearly its role is to facilitate your first year of wing foiling.

But it is also the most versatile wing offering a high level of performance in all registers:

It takes off early.
It holds far in the high end.
It is super maneuverable, and so light.
It sails upwind and flies downwind like a slalom sail!

Light, powerful, easy, it has all the qualities to bring you to a good level and even much further.

Foil

This is the foil for beginners, but also for progression. It’s not just a school foil that will peak at your fifth semester.

Flat on the water, you pick up a bit of speed, you sheet in twice on the wing and you can fly. The Rise Foil settles quietly at 10 knots, it goes through all the slack and you can head upwind easily. But if you sheet in, it will go through the 20 knots, still smoothly.

In surfing it’s very simple, soft and easy to handle. Really easy to hook, hard to stall, it is a model of tolerance based on proven profiles in the world of military aviation.

When pumping, you have lift. It’s not a fast foil, but our many videos testify to its qualities. You will pump in a slow rhythm, more on the legs than on the cardio. And above all without error, because the most energy consuming part in pumping are errors.

What size?

Board

The HIPE First is a board dedicated to learning. Several volumes are available to meet the needs of each practitioner according to their level, physical condition and use. In wing foiling :

Beginner

A beginner should choose a volume that’s sufficient to float comfortably, around your weight + 60 = volume.

Example: I weigh 80kg + 60 = L to float. Which means that with 140L and more I would be at ease.

Comfort

You should choose a volume that’s sufficient to float, around your weight + 30 = volume.

Example: I weigh 80kg + 30 = L to float. Which means that with 110L and more I would be at ease with previous experience on a wing foil board.

A small chart that sums it all up:

Wing

When you start, in 99% of the cases you start with a 5m2. Its ideal range is from 15 knots to 25 knots. Once in flight with a gust at 15 knots, you will easily hold the flight through 12 knots

The reality is that for a winger of 85kg, you need 20 knots with a 5m² to fly at the beginning. After about 15 sessions, you will fly at 15 knots with a 5m². And if you’re athletic, pumping hard can make you take off at 12 knots in 5m² and hold the flight through 8 knots. All this can be learned and requires practice.

Foil

In light wind, we tend to think that the bigger the more efficient. With some nuances, yes that is the rule.

Remember to play on the stabs to have more or less ease and speed as you progress.

Understanding the GONG range?

The concept of each board of the range can be summed up very simply:

HIPE First: the perfect inflatable board to learn wing foiling!
HIPE Free Fly: the best of strapless on an inflatable foil board.
HIPE Perf: the inflatable foil board with 95% of the performance of a rigid board, in an easy and scalable shape.
HIPE Cruzader Strapless: the strapless inflatable board with 95% of the performance of a rigid board with an ultra specialized shape, ideal for light wind winging and chilled out SUP foiling.
HIPE Cruzader strapped : the inflatable board with 95% of the performance of a rigid board with an ultra specialized shape, for the highest performance in light wind winging.
HIPE Pro: the inflatable board with 95% of the performance of a rigid one with a shape dedicated to advanced foilers who want fluidity and maximum responsiveness!
Mob 2taste: three sports in one board: SUP, SUP foiling and wing foiling.
Zuma: the easy rigid board for SUP foiling and wing foiling, and with good performance.
Lance: the compact Zuma, with great lateral stability, ideal for beginnings in wing foiling.
Cruzader: fantastic in SUP downwinders, pumping on the flat, but also in light wind conditions in wing foiling.
Flint: high performance in SUP foiling, great in wing foiling because it is simple and efficient in light wind.
Kube: pure freestyle board. Minimum length for maximum rotation.
Mint: compact without being too technical thanks to a perfect length and its round nose. Great performance in strapless too.
Lemon: maximum reactivity and liveliness, while maintaining stability.
Lethal: Absolute radicality among volume boards

Some will go for even more extreme with low volume boards like:

Lemon from 4’3 to 4’5: maximum responsiveness and liveliness.
Lethal from 4’3 to 4’5: absolute radicalism.
Catch Kite Foil: it works as well in kite foiling as with a wing when well powered.
Lethal Surf Foil: asymmetrical straps and minimum width to dare everything.

Best Quiver choices?

Board

The HIPE First will be perfect for enjoying the wind with a wing or to SUP foil small waves.

You can of course complete it with a range of Stand Up Paddleboards without foil. And surfboards for days when the waves are unsuitable for foiling.

Wing

The Wing Plus matches perfectly with a HIPE, a Zuma, a Lance or a Flint and our Aluminum Allvator Foil. It’s the magic combo for beginners and mellow sessions.

You can (should) add to this combo a SUP for windless days, and surely a board dedicated to surfing. But if you’re heading towards the wing, you may already have these toys in the garage ?

Foil

The Rise wing foil is ideal for beginners. It will therefore marry wonderfully with a HIPE, a Lance or a Zuma.

Positioning of the foil ?

For GONG foils, place the plate in the center of the US rail box. The further you move it forward, the more it raises the board.

The further you move it backwards, the more the nose of the board pearls.

Be careful not to move it too far forward. We often tend not to let the back foot work enough, especially when we come from kite foiling. However, moving the foil back a little, forces more weight on the back foot and gives a more harmonious attitude and reduces efforts.

Which Leash?

Board

Take a 6′ of 7mm minimum diameter.

Check its condition before each session and change it every year. It’s your life jacket.

Wing

Take a 5′5 to 8′ Wing Leash in light wind and a 10′ Leash in strong wind. Preferably a model dedicated to the Wing and of telephone type. A short leash allows you to resume the Wing quickly.

A long leash protects the Wing from the foil falling into the canvas by letting it go further.

Check its condition before each session and change it every year. This is your lifejacket.

Don’t let your wing flap in the wind at the end of the Leash, it is not unbreakable! Also in waves, do not hold your wing by the Leash, it will explode or you will hurt yourself.

Good to Know:

Never leave your board in the sun, even less an inflatable board, and even less a black carbon plate that will heat up very quickly. You might see it peeling off!!!

Don’t screw further than the bottom of the box, otherwise you’ll get into the skin of the inflatable. We deliver US squares with no opening, but be careful.

Never let your foil board get mistreated in the waves, especially close to the shore. You must protect it from major forces. A wave that carries your board away and rolls it away can do a lot of damages.

Equipments

Everything is included in the pack :

A stable and solid inflatable board that takes off super easily.
A light, tolerant wing that accelerates with the slightest puff of air .
A foil with a progressive and smooth take-off that offers a lot of stability.
The accessories to prepare, transport and protect your equipment.

HIPE First

Composite plate.
3D double diamond Deckpad.
2 non-opening SCS inserts paired with a carbon fiber rod.
Screw kite for foil plate.
Leash plug at the tail to never lose your board.
High pressure inflation valve on the nose for easy deflation and board rolling.
Multi nozzle and rapid double action pump (compatible with a wing).
Transport bag (95 x 75 x 18cm, 120L).
Repair kit (glue not included).

Wing

The windows have been positioned to have a panoramic leeward view. This is a real plus for your safety and that of others.

The new large rear handle naturally positions your hand where you are most comfortable. Once in flight, your hand won’t move much, but you’ll find this big handle very useful during take-off, pumping or certain tricks where moving your rear hand makes life easier. Easier to catch than the double handle, it remains precise in steering.

The handle for the front hand is placed ideally. Its position depends on the hollow, so it is more precise to have a small front handle because on a good wing the profile does not move back. There is no need to move your front hand.
A downwind handle on the leading edge that allows you to handle the shocked wing on land as well as on the water.
Two harness loops placed on the strut allow you to attach your GONG harness line to sail for long hours without getting tired.
The inflation/deflation valves are used directly with the tip of the hose (not supplied). No more non-compatible or lost nozzles!
The neoprene caps of the valves have been drilled to facilitate the evacuation of air when folding, even when closed!
The mini fiber battens at the trailing edge have been lightened for a considerable weight gain.

All our wings are supplied with a premium bag and a repair kit.
To comply with navigation regulations, we have integrated a plastic label on the intrados, close to the tip, to write down the owner’s personal information: surname, first name, telephone and address.

Foil Allvator

1 ALLVATOR Original aluminium mast of 80cm.
1 ALLVATOR aluminium surf fuselage.
1 ALLVATOR Rise front wing.
1 ALLVATOR Fast 45 cm stab.
1 fixation system by a 4 screw plate.
1 complete screw kit with spanner.

Warning

When you practice Foil you expose yoursef to possible serious Risks. A poor mastering of a Foil can expose you to Cuts and/or Serious Bodily Harm, even Death for youself and possibley others around you.

Foiling should be practiced, in all circumstances, by taking precautions and taking into cosideration all that is involved and associated with SURF/SUP sports. Remember that a Foil is long and has an edge that could cause slicing and is capable of reaching very high speeds. Getting hit by a Foil, or hitting another, can incrue dramatic and highly unwanted consequences.

Always Foil far from others, and in waters that are secure and without obstacle.

Always wear a helmet and protective vest that assures Floatability. Always wear a full body Neoprane Wetsuit.

When handling and manipulating a Foil be careful not to cut yourself along its edges.

GONG does Not Accept and Declines any and all responsability in case of accident that implicates a GONG Foil. The practicing of this sport and the use of our equipment makes the user fully resposable for his/her actions while being a Foil User.

Warning

You must read the detailed user manual completely before using your Wing for the first time.

Be sure to have a full understanding of it. Wings can be dangerous depending on their size and the strength of the wind. You have to check the wind range of your wing so that it corresponds with conditions and your actual skill level.

For the first few sessions, never use your new Wing in its high wind range. Use your Wing in a secure environment. Take the necessary time to learn how to handle the equipment under optimum safety conditions. Never underestimate the traction power of your Wing. Even a beginner’s Wing can develop a pulling force of several hundred kilos depending on its size and the strength of the wind. Do not overestimate your abilities. Misuse can cause serious injury or death to the practitioner or others. Do not use your Wing at sea in offshore winds. Use your Wing equipped with a leash. Be careful to avoid any collision. Be extremely careful if you sail with your Wing and a board equipped with a foil. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage or damage caused by improper use of the Wing or carelessness of the user.

Dry your wing ?

Unless you end your session with a long ride in the sun and land on a pontoon, it’s rather rare to get out of the water with a completely dry wing. ? Note that there is no need to dry your wing if it is to be used regularly in salt water, as the salt protects the materials from mold.

If, however, for transport or storage reasons you want to dry them, you must absolutely avoid hanging the deflated wing by the handle on the leading edge. It’s however very practical but it is the best way to obtain a hernia on the central strut at the junction with the leading edge following the collapse of the bladder inside. The bladders are movable in the strut and the leading edge. So if you hang it up deflated to dry, the bladder can slip, or even crumple, in the strut sleeve.

So ideally, you dry your inflated wing in the shade, and at worst flat or at least with just the inflated central strut.

How to inflate your wing?

Inflating your wing while it is still rolled can cause movements and twists of the bladder which will have the effect of deforming the inflated wing or causing hernias. It is therefore essential to fully unfold your wing before inflating it using the inflation valve on the leading edge.
