New V3 Foils: The Future is Already Here

The V3 range is a major evolution, offering more lift, more rigidity, more tolerance, and less drag for smoother gliding. From hyper-optimized front wings to stabilizers with less surface area, a faster oval fuselage, self-locking fittings—everything is designed for enhanced performance. With the V3, you get an ultimate foil that simplifies your ride, increases your speed, stability, and ease of use. The V3s are the new GONG standard and the absolute reference.

Our foils combine innovation and premium materials.

For the front wings and stabilizers:

• HM Carbon: High-modulus pre-impregnated carbon, the best of the best, offering extreme rigidity, minimal weight, and unmatched responsiveness.

For the masts:

• Aluminum: Perfect for beginners, rigid and affordable.
• Carbon: More dynamic, lighter, and more precise.
• HM Carbon: The best of the best, offering extreme rigidity, minimal weight, and unmatched responsiveness.

For the fuselages:

• Aluminum: Perfect for beginners, rigid and affordable.
• Titanium: Ultimate strength, extreme rigidity, minimal weight, and unmatched responsiveness. Essential for kitefoiling when jumping.
• Self-locking Fittings: Oval fuselage, 12% reduction in drag, +30% rigidity, easy to assemble, stable in navigation—truly a gem.

Modular Systems: Adjust the front wing, stabilizer, mast, and fuselage according to your preferences. Everything is compatible and logical.

• Covers: Protect your wings, masts and fuselages with our made-to-measure covers.

• Screws & Tef-Gel: Always have a few spare screws, apply Tef-Gel to prevent galvanic corrosion, and enjoy a hassle-free experience.

Changes from V2 to V3:

• Transition from a square fuselage to an oval section: Improved hydrodynamics, reducing drag by 12%.
• Constant profile on the front wings for uniform lift.
• Refined design for smoother transitions between sections (radiuses), making the foil more fluid.
• 50% reduction in drag on the lower 10 cm of the masts!!!

Impact on performance:

• Better stability in turns, increased rigidity for tricks and high-speed tacks.
• Super low-end range and exceptionally smooth behavior in complex situations: tip-out, high stall, re-pop, turbulent water, etc.
• Reduced drag makes it easier to glide and maintain speed over long distances without using excess energy.
• A reduction of 200 cm² on the front wing (FW).

Our V3s are a revolution: oval fuselage, constant profiles, "flat" take-off without pitching, smaller stabilizers, less drag, more glide, more speed, more tolerance. Gains of 12% to 40% depending on the model compared to the V2.

The V2s remain excellent, solid, and proven economical options, but the V3 represents the future—ultimate performance, ease, and amplified fun.

• X-Over V3: "I learned foiling in just a few sessions, it's stable, easy, perfect."
• Curve H Carbon HM V3: "In freeride, I glide at 10 knots effortlessly, smooth carvings, pure bliss."
• Ypra Surf-Freestyle Carbon HM V3: "I land tricks on the foil like it's nothing! Everything is easier."
