Fast moderate aspect wings, loose and highly maneuverable!

Introduction

The Fluid is the ultra maneuverable front wing. Perfect for tight turns, snaps, drifts, hitting a top turn, airs, and having a crazy pop. Its rail to rail is magical. Its outline favors smooth transitions from one curve to another. And the upward camber on the tips increases its ability to move from rail to rail in a flash. You really feel a liberated wing just waiting to go in the curve. There are no restrictions to your surfing creativity.

The moderate aspect allows you to work on your lines in a reduced space: the pocket of the wave, a furtive bump, you can really go for the optimal trajectories without restriction.

Its thin profile delivers amazing speed for a moderate aspect ratio. And since it lifts a lot more, you can undersize this new shape without difficulty. Going from a 1100 to a 950 is no problem. The gain in top speed and maneuverability is mind blowing. With its crazy potential in turns, comes a huge gain in pop because we all know that the key to a good pop is great maneuverability. Magic curves are your launchpad for sky-high jumps.

In pumping, the Fluid exploits the benefits of this new lifty profile. This front wing allows to lengthen the frequency. The precision this front wing allows in surfing, combined with how easy it pumps, optimizes your lines for an amazing glide when free-flying.

The great treat with this front wing is how tight you can turn. Your thighs will feel the push in those turns!!!

With a Freestyle Stab you will make the tightest turns of your life. Whereas with a Fluid H Stab it will be smoother and really fast. So adapt your Fluid to your use.

And for the pros? This is the front wing to do a quick snap on top of the wave, to drift. Each lip is an excuse to tweak an air, release a tip, slide on the top… Far from restraining them, the Fluid will give pros a huge boost in their way of surfing. And it shows on their smiles!

The queen of modern surfing, electric and “crazy”, or smooth and fluid, depending on how you set the tone.

Your benefits are clear:

An efficient shape created by one of the leaders in the Foil world.
A design at the cutting edge of R&D and ahead of its time.

Pro Clear Front Wing Technology

Carbon fiber is the Holy Grail of composite materials. Its use allows for the creation of products with high technical constraints. This enables both thickness reduction and increased rigidity, providing more speed and responsiveness in navigation.

These wings have no flex. Fibers are oriented along multiple axes to lock in bending and torsion, ensuring maximum responsiveness.

Thanks to pre-impregnated fibers, we can guarantee optimal resin usage, providing perfect cohesion at the lightest weight possible.

Each layer of carbon fiber is carefully hand-assembled around a high-density hydrophobic foam core, in a steel mold. A central stiffener is integrated to increase rigidity without compromising on lightness.

The mold is then subjected to high pressure and heated to 150°C to solidify the fibers. The foam core, seeking to expand under the heat, ensures even compression between the layers, guaranteeing a strong and durable structure.

Durability and repairability are at the heart of our development philosophy. Our foils are tested and proven by dozens of team riders, hundreds of employees, and thousands of customers worldwide. Even in case of damage, our products can be repaired multiple times, ensuring exceptional longevity.

Buying guide

For whom ?

You’re at the point where you’re flying all the time, you nail all your jibes and free fly on waves, in short you know how to wing foil and want to go next level?
The Fluid is made for you, it will give you a much higher average speed on the water than your beginner front wing. Its renowned glide, its further boosted maneuverability and its surprising top speed will completely unleash your sessions to bring you to another level of foiling while keeping a very playful and very maneuverable foil! ?

What for ?

Carve hard with speed potential while maintaining a predictable foil with lift.

In detail for each sport:

For wing foiling: the Fluid is the queen of rail to rail and modern drive. Curves and tricks in all directions!!! And it has an impressive top speed for its moderate aspect. So if you want a FW that ticks all the surf/freestyle boxes but is still easy, the Fluid is perfect.
For surf foiling: the Fluid is great for fast and aggressive maneuvers. It is very playful and allows you to go for tight turns and snaps easily. Its profile provides longer glide and higher top speed, giving surfers the ultimate feeling of speed and control.
For kite foiling: the Fluid connects curves and goes relatively fast. The more you go for it, the more it delivers with speed and power turns. The icing on the cake: it is a gem of front wing for freestyle tricks.

Which shape of the Fluid to go for? Fluid or Fluid H?

The Fluid and Fluid H have a common use: surfing with an unbridled foil in roll, both very manageable and with a formidable glide. These qualities give a lot of versatility on all types of water bodies and excellence in the waves.

Choosing the one or the other is dependent on the desired glide and the size that appeals to you. The Fluid H will offer an insane glide, while the Fluid will offer a stunning rail to rail. In both cases, they are magical front wings in the curves and with an impressive top speed for a profile that remains very accessible.

To put it simply, the Fluid H has more aspect ratio and will allow you to glide longer, to reach higher speeds but will be less efficient than a Fluid in carving and will be more complicated to take off with.

Some examples about choosing the Fluid or the Fluid H

I come from a beginner front wing and I want to favor ease of take-off in wing foiling, especially in the light wind conditions, I choose the Fluid.
My priority is to carve, whether in wing foiling or kite foiling, I take the Fluid.
I have an intermediate level in winging, and have never been at more than 20 knots and that suits me very well, I choose the Fluid.
I have a good level in surf foiling and I do dock starts on flat days, I choose the Fluid H.
I have a good level in winging and my priority is downwinders and freefly, I prefer Fluid H.
I love to tighten the curves in surfing, to optimize the smallest section to send a turn or an air: The Fluid is a great choice.
I like to glide, to feel that the foil is blasting off at full speed in the waves or on speed runs: Fluid H.

What size ?

The Fluid front wings can fit riders of all sizes.

The XXS has a 60 cm wingspan, 550 cm², 1.1 cm of thickness for a volume of 0.31L.

For surf foiling it’s really small, only for lightweights or for tow-in sessions.
For wing foiling it’s very small, super reactive and very radical. It will be great for an expert and/or a featherweight in strong winds.
For kite foiling, this is the front wing for experts and/or featherweights who want a radical, fast and reactive front wing for carving.

The XS has a 65 cm wingspan, 650 cm², 1.2 cm of thickness for a volume of 0.40L.

For surf foiling you need a very good level to be able to pump with it, but it will be perfect for tow-in sessions in hollow waves.
For wing foiling, it’s very small, super reactive and very radical. It will perfectly suit an expert and/or a featherweight in strong winds.
For kite foiling, this is the front wing for experts and/or featherweights who want a radical, fast and reactive front wing for carving.

The S has a 70 cm wingspan, 750 cm², 1.4 cm thick for a volume of 0.57L.

For surf foiling: it’s a treat for light riders on spots where you don’t have to pump over 300m. Super reactive. It will also be great in tow-in. We will have a wing that is both fast but also manageable which allows you to score in hollow waves for example.
For wing foiling, it’s small but as it lifts a lot it’s perfect for a light weight rider of a good level who wants to carve at high speed and jump high. In strong winds, a heavier person will lay the turns of his life!!!
For kite foiling, it is a reference wing for the majority of riders who want a fast and very reactive foil.

The M has a wingspan of 78 cm, 950 cm², 1.6 cm thick for a volume of 0.79L.

For surf foiling, it is a key wing for pros, lightweights and tow-in in solid waves. It is super manageable and very predictable. For those who like to surf with a capital S, this is the reference.
For wing foiling it’s small but very easy, let’s say like the old Fluid LS, so a medium build will love it and a strong expert too. In winging it’s also a key FW.
For kite foiling, it is great for a large number of riders who want a mix of top speed, maneuverability and control. The queen of tacks and tricks.

The L has a wingspan of 86cm, 1150cm², 1.7cm thick for a volume of 1.06L.

For surf foiling, it is suitable for light riders who want a large, maneuverable and relatively fast wing, or for strong riders who want an ultra-maneuverable all-purpose wing. The pumping/handling compromise is ideal for fit foilers.
For wing foiling it’s perfect for a good level rider who wants to carve, go fast, jump, do good DW, with a decent low range. A must for surfing in lightwind, for example.
For kite foiling: to forget, it’s too wide.

The XL has a 93 cm wingspan, 1350 cm², 1,9 cm thick for a volume of 1,43L.

For surf foiling, it is a large wing which is suitable for lightweights who want a fast performance wing to connect a maximum of waves on small days without handicapping their maneuverability with a large wingspan, or for strong people who want a fairly fast and maneuverable foil. The pumping/maneuverability compromise is great for strong and fit foilers.
For wing foiling it’s perfect for an intermediate level rider who wants to fly early, go fast, surf in aggressive mode, carves to be cool but effective, work on his transitions, send tricks with slides, do excellent DW, with an awesome low end.
For kite foiling: to forget, it’s too big.

The XXL has a 100 cm wingspan, 1550 cm², 2,0 cm thick for a volume of 1,58L.

In surf foiling, it is a large wing which is suitable for strong people. You can cover great distances by pumping. It is a very efficient wing in surfing due to its great finesse, and which is a hit in very soft waves. The area to wingspan ratio is awesome with this maneuverability.
In wing foiling this size is large and allows you to have fun without worrying in light wind. We surf, we send tricks on the water based on tacks and jibes. And it flies super early for a FW of this size.
In kite foiling: always too big.

General: a bigger front wing will be used in low ranges, in soft conditions. And conversely a smaller front wing in stronger conditions. What you need to remember is that the choice of your wing depends on your size, which requires lift, and your average speed, which generates lift.

Understand our foil range

Which stab ?
We recommend using Fluid H Stabs with all Fluid front wings. Use stabs that have some surface area because the H stabilizers remain thin. So do not undersize them.
This table allows you to easily identify which stab for which front wing, or which stab for a quiver of several Fluid front wings.

And for freestylers or surfers pushing it, a Freestyle stab will give you monster pop and allow for ultra tight turns. The difference is crazy. But it will be less efficient when gliding, and therefore when pumping.

Quiver partner ?

With a Fluid, anAluminum Mast or a Carbon V2 Mast are sufficient because the wingspan of these wings is moderate. But it is obvious that with an HM mast you will gain a lot of stiffness. A must have if you really are powerful in the curves, an HM carbon mast will allow you to transmit 100% of the forces to the front wing. The gain in stiffness and dynamism is incredible.
In surf foiling, you can use any board from our range with the Fluid, but to be more maneuverable, a performance board like the Matata or the Lethal will be perfect.
Ditto in winging, it can adapt to everything but it maneuvers better on a shortboard.

Positioning of the foil ?

For the GONG foils, place the top plate at the rear third of the US rails for surf, SUP and kite. Place it in the middle of the US rails when using it with a wing foil.
The more you move it forward, the more it makes the board pitch up. The further you move it backwards, the more the nose of the board dives.
Be careful not to move it too far forward. We often tend to forget to use the back foot, especially when we have a kite foil background. However, moving the foil back a little forces you to put more weight on the back foot and gives a more harmonious attitude and reduces effort.

Warning :

La pratique du foil comporte des risques d’accidents importants. Une mauvaise maitrise du foil peut engendrer des coupures, des blessures graves, voir la mort, pour vous ou autrui.

Le foil doit être pratiqué en prenant toutes les précautions d’usage en kite majorées de celles liées au foil. Rappelons que le foil est long, tranchant, et peut atteindre des vitesses élevées. Se faire percuter par un foil, ou percuter un tiers peut avoir des conséquences dramatiques.

Foilez toujours loin des autres, dans des plans d’eau sécurisants et sans obstacle.

Le foil se pratique majoritairement dans le vent léger. Celui ci peut tomber et vous contraindre à rentrer à la nage. En conséquence ne surestimez pas vos forces : n’allez jamais plus loin que ce que vous pouvez faire à la nage dans les conditions présentes et annoncées.

Portez un casque et une veste de protection assurant votre flottabilité. Portez toujours une combinaison en néoprène intégrale.

Lorsque vous manipulez le foil, faites attention de ne pas vous couper sur les bords de fuite.

GONG décline toute responsabilité en cas d’accident impliquant un foil GONG. La pratique du foil se fait sous l’entière responsabilité de l’utilisateur Foil.

LITIGES ET RESPONSABILITÉ

GONG SUP 1 ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de l’inexécution du contrat conclu, d’une part en cas de force majeure, telle que définie par les tribunaux d’autre part en cas de faute du client ou du fait imprévisible et insurmontable d’un tiers au contrat. GONG SUP 1 ne saurait être tenue responsable des conséquences résultant de la mauvaise utilisation des produits vendus sur le Site.

Bien que nos produits aient des performances compatibles avec des usages professionnels, GONG SUP 1 n’a pas vocation à vendre à des professionnels.

La dangerosité des sports pratiqués dépend pour une grande partie du respect des règles fondamentales de sécurité, de priorités et des règlementations locales s’imposant sur les spots.

Il appartient à chaque utilisateur des produits GONG SUP 1 de s’assurer qu’il est couvert au moins par une assurance de responsabilité civile, le cas échéant en souscrivant une licence sportive.

Les règles d’entretien, d’utilisation et de sécurité figurent dans la notice d’utilisation remise dans chaque produit. Elle peut également être téléchargée sur le lien suivant ou sur le site GONG-GALAXY.COM. La notice fait intégralement partie du champ du présent contrat, dont elle constitue une annexe à part entière. Vous reconnaissez en avoir pris attentivement connaissance.

Mention particulière aux produits « foils »

La pratique du foil, sur quelque support que ce soit, présente une dangerosité particulière. Sans préjudice de ce qui figure sur la notice d’utilisation de chaque produit, il est impératif d’observer quelques règles simples :

Porter un gilet de protection et un casque. Les foils comportent des zones contondantes indispensables pour leur bon fonctionnement mais qui présentent un réel danger en cas de choc. Vous êtes le plus exposé à ce risque en tant que pratiquant sur l’engin. Vous devez donc vous protéger en conséquence par du matériel de protection aux normes et adéquat. Et vous devez vous protéger en ne vous mettant jamais dans une situation à risque. Votre comportement détermine votre prise de risque.
Excepté pour les planches de kitesurf, équiper en toute circonstance votre planche d’un leash d’une longueur au moins égale à la longueur de la planche, ainsi que de footstraps. Ces éléments permettent de ne pas lâcher totalement la planche vers les autres utilisateurs. N’évoluez jamais à une distance inférieure à la longueur de votre leash plus celle de la planche plus votre dérive en cas de chute des autres pratiquants. Vous ne devez jamais faire entrer un tiers dans ce diamètre qui constitue la zone dans laquelle votre activité présente un risque.
Ne pratiquer que sur des spots se prêtant à l’activité (mise à l’eau sécurisée, absence de shorebreak, fonds réguliers, orientation adaptée à la direction du vent…), et non fréquentés par les pratiquants d’autres sports nautiques. Les vitesses d’un foil imposent de pratiquer seul ou entre foileurs afin d’évoluer dans un milieu où chacun anticipe en conscience les trajectoires des autres.
Respecter scrupuleusement les règles de priorité, d’autant que l’inertie et la manœuvrabilité sont différents des supports classiques, surtout pour ceux qui débutent. La courtoisie et le sens des responsabilités doivent faire partie de votre pratique pour ne pas engendrer de comportements déviants pouvant concourir à un accident.
Faire attention aux autres pratiquants, et de manière générale à tous usagers du plan d’eau, même s’ils ne sont pas prioritaires dans la zone où vous évoluez (ils peuvent entre autres sous-estimer votre vitesse de déplacement et votre zone de danger). Ne jamais pratiquer à proximité d’enfants ou de non-initiés à ce sport car leurs réactions pourraient être totalement imprévisibles. Votre responsabilité serait totalement engagée. GONG SUP met tout en place pour vous avertir des risques et vous expliquer le cadre de pratique que nous recommandons. Vous ne pouvez pas ignorer ces consignes car cela vous mettrait en danger, ainsi que les autres et l’image de marque de GONG SUP qui est une société responsable.
Faire attention à la profondeur d’eau, la présence d’un appendice de plusieurs dizaines de centimètres sous un engin de plage étant une donnée nouvelle pour bon nombre de pratiquants, même initiés aux sports nautiques. Les casses liées à un appui ou un choc dans le fond ne sont pas couvertes par la garantie.
Entretenir et vérifier votre matériel régulièrement et n’y apporter aucune modification technique autre que les produits et solutions commercialisés par GONG-GALAXY. Ne jamais affuter les bords de fuite car ils deviendraient coupants pour vous mais aussi pour le leash, ne retenant alors plus la planche !

Il est très fortement recommandé de débuter la pratique du foil dans un environnement pédagogique adapté, au sein d’un club ou d’une école agréés, de lire tous nos articles sur le forum GONG, ceci permettant d’acquérir un niveau suffisant d’autonomie et permettant une conscience réelle des enjeux de la pratique du foil.”
