GEAR: HIPE FIRST 2026
The most accessible inflatable board to start wing foiling!
With the HIPE First, GONG introduces a board designed to make wing foiling simple, reassuring, and accessible to as many riders as possible. Easy to use, easy to transport, and available from EUR 299, it offers a hassle-free way to discover foiling with a complete pack including a carry bag, pump, and both standard and SCS hardware kits.
Confidence-inspiring from the very first session
Its generous volume and width provide excellent stability for stress-free learning: climbing onto the board, handling the wing, finding your balance, and riding your first reaches with confidence.
The comfortable deck pad and 5’’ thickness also make kneeling phases and positioning during learning much easier.
Lightweight, practical, and progressive
The HIPE First is also the lightest inflatable wing foil board in its category, with the first model weighing only 4.4 kg. A real advantage for transport, handling, and everyday comfort.
Compact once packed into its bag, quick to set up, and easy to live with, it also supports progression thanks to its balanced shape that helps riders accelerate easily and discover their first flights smoothly.
An accessible and progressive board, perfect for learning and improving without overcomplicating things.
