Programme

The carbon downwind racing Tail Wing that minimises drag to overtake bumps, hold extreme speed and cover more distance with less energy.

Overview

The Veloce XTR V3 Atmo Pro Team Series Tail Wing is developed for downwind racing, when every acceleration, every metre of glide and every bit of energy saved counts.

Its very high 14.0 aspect ratio reduces induced drag to an absolute minimum. The foil accelerates instantly down the face, overtakes bumps and keeps enough speed to cross less supportive sections without constantly having to build speed again.

Its balance is deliberately tuned to apply very little front foot lift. The foil drops freely down the bumps without excessively lifting the board’s nose, never slowing down, which reduces strain on the front leg and keeps handling smooth on long runs.

Its thicker, more powerful and relatively neutral profile maintains the support needed to control take-offs, transitions and pitch changes. Hardly affected by saturation, it stays perfectly locked in as the foil accelerates, allowing the Front Wing to develop its full speed.

Its extremely elongated outline stabilises lines at high speed and frees up yaw. The area retained through the centre keeps precise central support to control pitch and initiate line changes despite the extreme slenderness of the tips.

Its Lower architecture positions the Tail Wing farther from the surface and frees up its upper surface. The tips have more margin before breaching, ventilation happens later and the behaviour stays cleaner through acceleration.

Built in monolithic CNC-machined T700 carbon, it holds its profile and angle of attack with extreme precision under heavy loads. This maximum stiffness is essential to unlock the efficiency of a 14.0 ratio Tail Wing.

The reference setup with a Long Tail Shaft and 0° Tail Shim maximises drive, longitudinal stability and long trajectories.

Paired with the Veloce XTR Front Wing, it forms our fastest and most efficient downwind race foil setup.

In wing foiling and lowkite, this combo offers another way to fly: little power underfoot, but lift generated constantly by exceptional glide. The foil keeps moving forward and flows through transitions with incredible smoothness. The ultimate glide.

ASPECT RATIO 14.0

The Veloce XTR features a very high aspect ratio of 14.0 to minimise induced drag and maximise energy retention.

This wide span lets the foil maintain very high speed between inputs, overtake bumps and cross less supportive sections more easily.

It goes further than the Veloce DW in terms of speed and pure efficiency. In return, this level of performance demands more precision in slower phases, transitions and pitch changes.

POWERFUL AND NEUTRAL PROFILE

The Veloce XTR profile is thicker, more powerful and more neutral, so it keeps enough support without generating excessive pressure on the front foot.

This power keeps the trim easy to read in take-offs, transitions and speed build-up phases, despite the Tail Wing's low overall drag.

Its neutral balance lets the aircraft accelerate without creating excess pressure at the rear. The foil stays locked in, and the rider can make the most of the speed without constantly fighting the front foot.

UNRESTRICTED PROFILE

The profile is developed to maintain a consistent response when speed and loads increase sharply.

It handles large variations in angle of attack through transitions and speed build-up phases without becoming harsh or holding back the Front Wing’s acceleration.

This very low sensitivity to saturation allows the aircraft to keep accelerating on steep faces without climbing endlessly. The Tail Wing stays clean and stable when the foil reaches race speeds.

EXTREMELY ELONGATED OUTLINE

The outline is extremely stretched to reduce peripheral drag and stabilise lines at high speed.

The very fine tips limit induced drag and free up the foil in yaw. Despite its substantial span, the foil retains real freedom to adapt its line to the contours of the water surface.

The surface area remains concentrated in the central two thirds to maintain precise support through the middle. This zone stabilises trim and creates a clear pivot point for committing to transitions and changing bumps.

VERY LOW ANHEDRAL

The very low anhedral keeps the geometry close to that of a flat wing, limiting flow deflection and maximising hydrodynamic efficiency.

This geometry maintains excellent efficiency right out to the tips and directly contributes to the Veloce XTR's exceptional speed.

Its very limited amplitude avoids locking the aircraft in completely. The foil stays free in yaw and keeps fluid line changes despite its very large span.

LOWER ARCHITECTURE

The Veloce XTR is developed exclusively around a Lower architecture. The Tail Wing is positioned below the Shim Tail and works with a Lower Tail Shaft.

This position keeps the Tail Wing further from the surface when the foil is flying very high. The tips have more margin before breaching, and ventilation happens later.

The Lower setup also frees up the upper surface and keeps the Tail Wing away from the turbulence generated by the Front Wing. Flow stays clean as speed builds and helps limit saturation effects.

This architecture further reduces the drag felt at the rear while maintaining the stability needed for downwind race.

A fully customizable Foil

The Tail Wing is only one part of your foil's overall behavior. With the V3 Atmo system, you can also choose your Tail Shaft length and Tail Shim angle of incidence to achieve a setup perfectly matched to your skill level, riding style, and discipline.

The Tail Shaft primarily influences the foil's dynamic behavior. A Short model makes the foil more responsive and reduces turning radius. The Medium version delivers the reference balance. The Long version provides greater longitudinal stability, smooths pitch movements, and makes long, flowing lines easier to maintain.

The Tail Shim then allows you to fine-tune the foil's longitudinal balance. It adjusts front-foot pressure, pitch attitude, takeoff ease, pumping cadence, and the foil's overall character, without changing the intrinsic characteristics of your Tail Wing.

The recommended setup for each Tail Wing is always the best place to start. It delivers exactly the behavior intended by the designer. From this baseline, you can progressively tune your foil to your own preferences by changing only one parameter at a time.

This modular system naturally evolves with your progression. The same Tail Wing can continue to meet your needs for many seasons simply by combining different Tail Shaft lengths and Tail Shim angles.

You're not simply choosing a Tail Wing, you're choosing a tuning platform that allows your foil to evolve with your riding, delivering a setup tailored with precision to the way you ride.

A Platform that evolves with you

At GONG, a new generation of products doesn't make your existing equipment obsolete. Our priority is to improve performance while protecting your investment.

All V3 Atmo Tail Wings share a standard mounting interface that defines their reference angle of incidence. This allows them to be installed on both the new V3 Atmo Tail Shims and the previous compatible V3 shims, without requiring you to replace your entire rear foil assembly.

This continuity also means that the same Tail Wing can be used with either a V3 or Micro V3 Atmo fuselage. Simply select the Tail Shaft and Tail Shim designed for your fuselage diameter. You can upgrade your platform progressively, without rebuilding your entire quiver every time a new innovation is introduced.

This compatibility is at the heart of our development philosophy. Every new generation delivers greater performance, finer tuning possibilities, and increased precision, while remaining designed to preserve as much of your existing equipment as possible.

You're investing in a durable platform that evolves alongside your riding, not in a succession of incompatible systems that must be replaced entirely with every new product generation.

V3 Atmo, a new era

The V3 Atmo range marks a major leap forward in the design, manufacturing, and finishing of our foils. Reaching this new level of performance required far more than evolving the shapes. We rethought the entire process, from R&D to the finished product.

Every V3 Atmo shape is designed in 3D, digitally optimized, thoroughly tested by the GONG Team, and manufactured with an unprecedented level of precision. Profiles, thickness distribution, transitions, fillets, connection areas, and trailing edges have all been refined to reduce parasitic drag, improve water flow, and maximize efficiency.

Our new production facility enables manufacturing in an ultra-clean, highly controlled environment with a level of precision approaching that of the world's leading aerospace, motorsport, and high-performance composite industries. Optimized extraction of solvents and dust creates better working conditions while ensuring cleaner parts throughout every stage of production.

Tighter control over every step, from material handling, layup, machining, and molding to cooling and finishing, delivers an unprecedented level of accuracy, particularly on the trailing edges. This controlled refinement minimizes hydrodynamic disturbances, reduces noise, improves glide, and contributes to the overall performance gains of the V3 Atmo range.

But the real breakthrough isn't just producing a beautiful part, it's producing the same beautiful part every time. Every wing leaves the factory with the same profile, the same fit, the same trailing edge, the same stiffness, and the same ride feel. In foiling, even a few tenths of a millimeter can affect ventilation, stall behavior, noise, speed, and stability.

Cleaner. Finer. Stiffer. More consistent. The V3 Atmo range represents a new era in the way we manufacture performance. From the Perf Series to the Team Series and Pro Team Series, every construction benefits from this new level of industrial precision.

Buying guide

Who is it for?

The Veloce XTR V3 Atmo Pro Team Series Tail Wing is aimed at expert riders looking for maximum efficiency in performance downwind and downwind racing.

It has been developed for riders who already know how to manage pitch, flight height and speed changes with precision. Its 14.0 aspect ratio cuts drag dramatically, but offers less support and less margin at low speed than a Veloce DW.

It suits competitors who want to overtake bumps, maintain a very high average speed and save energy over the length of a run.

It also speaks to expert wing foilers and lowkite riders who want to discover a very different aircraft from the usual powerful combos: little pressure underfoot, but glide that continuously generates lift.

Why?

The Veloce XTR is designed first and foremost for downwind racing. It lets you accelerate hard on every slope, overtake the bumps that choke your line, and keep enough speed to connect with the next ones. It feels like running downhill.

Its minimal drag reduces the number and intensity of the speed build-ups needed. The rider relies more on speed and the energy in the water, and spends less energy maintaining flight.

Its low nose-up effect lets the board follow the slopes naturally. The front leg works less to contain the aircraft, and control stays smoother on long descents.

In wing foiling and lowkite, it delivers a particularly smooth, gliding feel. Paired with a Veloce XTR Front Wing, it gives little power underfoot at low speed, but the glide quickly generates the lift needed for flight. Once up to speed, the combo keeps moving forward at all times, holds high speed through lulls, and delivers exceptional glide through transitions.

It can also be used for pure flat-water pumping by an expert rider. Its efficiency is extremely high, but this remains a niche use and requires precise cadence as well as excellent height control.

Avoid it if...

The Veloce XTR is not a progression Tail Wing. It requires excellent control of the aircraft and offers less margin in take-offs, slow phases and pitch errors.

To build your pumping foundations, choose a Trail. For more dynamic, playful pumping, a Hyper Trail will be more suitable. For long-distance flat-water riding, go for a Supra Trail or an Ultra Trail depending on your level.

For high-performance downwind with more support, versatility and low-speed control, the Veloce DW is a more accessible option.

For committed surf foiling, snaps, tight carves and landings, choose a Ypra Surf Carve Tail Wing or a more surf-oriented model.

If you are looking for lots of power underfoot in wing foiling or lowkite, the Veloce XTR will not match that feeling. It works through speed and glide, not through heavy support.

What size?

Size choice depends on the Front Wing, rider weight, target speed and the level of control you want.

A large Veloce XTR keeps more support in take-offs, transitions and speed changes. It stabilises pitch and makes control easier, but generates slightly more drag.

A smaller size reduces drag even further, frees up speed and lowers front foot pressure. On the other hand, it requires extremely precise pitch control and becomes more demanding when the aircraft slows down.

The best choice is not automatically the smallest size. A Tail Wing that is too small can force the rider to make constant corrections, lose height and waste more energy than it saves in drag reduction.

In racing, choose the smallest size you can control cleanly over the whole course, not just in the fastest sections.

What setup?

The Veloce XTR is offered exclusively in Lower architecture.

It works with a Lower Tail Shaft paired with a Lower Shim Tail. It cannot be mounted on an Upper Tail Shaft or an Upper Shim Tail.

The reference setup uses a Long Tail Shaft and a 0° Lower Shim Tail. This combination maximises drive, stabilises pitch and lets you make full use of the aircraft's speed over very long lines.

Always start with this setup before trying to free the foil up further. It delivers the behaviour intended by the designer and lets you identify the effect of each change precisely.

Why a lower setup?

The Lower setup places the Tail Wing farther from the surface when the aircraft is flying high.

This position gives more margin before a tip comes out of the water. It delays ventilation and makes acceleration safer when the foil is being ridden very close to the surface.

The upper surface also stays better fed and less exposed to turbulence coming from the Front Wing and the rear system.

At very high speed, this flow quality limits saturation, keeps the response more consistent and reduces the feeling of resistance at the rear.

What does the 0° Shim Tail mean?

The 0° Shim Tail keeps the reference incidence calculated for the Veloce XTR.

It does not mean that the Tail Wing is horizontal relative to the fuselage. The incidence required for the model to work is built directly into its carbon base.

The Shim Tail number only indicates the angle added or removed relative to this reference.

So 0° is always the best starting point for understanding the aircraft's balance before changing front foot pressure or its longitudinal behaviour.

Which angle should you choose?

Start with a 0° Lower Shim Tail, which is the Veloce XTR's reference setting.

A negative angle number increases the Tail Wing's nose-up effect. It adds front foot pressure and more support in take-offs or slow phases, but also increases drag and limits some of the efficiency you are looking for.

The -0.5° can correct a combo that is slightly lacking in front foot pressure or low-speed support. Larger values move a long way away from the XTR's natural programme.

The +1° reduces front foot pressure even further and frees up the aircraft at high speed. It does, however, require more control through the back foot and makes take-offs, transitions and slowdowns much more technical.

In racing, the fastest setting is not always the one that gives the least front foot pressure. You need to keep enough support to control the aircraft and use all its speed without constant corrections.

What Tail Shaft length?

Start with a 0° Lower Shim Tail, which is the Veloce XTR's reference setting.

In racing, the fastest setting is not always the one that gives the least front foot pressure. You need to keep enough support to control the aircraft and use all its speed without constant corrections.

Which Front Wing?

The Veloce XTR Front Wing is the reference pairing. This combo creates the fastest and most efficient downwind race aircraft in the range.

The Veloce XTR Tail Wing can also be paired with a Veloce DW to maximise speed and high-speed stability, with less support in slow phases than a Veloce DW Tail Wing.

With a Veloce FF or a Veloce LW, it greatly frees up glide in wing foiling and lowkite. This setup suits expert riders looking for high average speed and a very smooth aircraft rather than strong power underfoot.

Pairing it with an Ultra Trail Front Wing is technically possible for pure pumping. It then delivers extreme efficiency, but requires very precise control and remains marginal compared with Tail Wings specifically developed for pumping.

In wing foiling and lowkite

Paired with the Veloce XTR Front Wing, the Veloce XTR Tail Wing gives an aircraft with very little power underfoot at low speed.

You should not try to ride it like a foil that climbs through heavy front foot pressure. You need to let it accelerate. Speed gradually generates lift, and the aircraft starts flying with very little resistance.

This feeling is extremely smooth and enjoyable. The foil keeps moving forward at all times, holds its energy through lulls, and delivers exceptional glide when the pull disappears in transitions or in freefly.

The Veloce XTR Front Wing is natively set 2 cm farther back. So for use in wing foiling or lowkite, move your mast forward by around 2 cm compared with your usual position, then fine-tune this setting according to your board, your stance and the pressure you are looking for.

How do you progress with the settings?

Start with the reference combo, a Long Tail Shaft and a 0° Shim Tail.

Use this setup long enough to understand the low front foot pressure, the high-speed stability and the aircraft's behaviour in take-offs and transitions.

Then only change one element at a time. A change in Tail Wing size, Tail Shaft length, Shim Tail or mast position can deeply alter the overall balance.

Look for an aircraft that accelerates freely while remaining controllable when speed drops. Minimal drag brings nothing if it forces constant corrections or prevents you from holding a clean line.

In downwind racing, the best setting is the one that lets you stay high, overtake bumps and maintain your speed all the way to the finish with the fewest unnecessary movements.

Compatibility

The Veloce XTR Tail Wing is exclusively Lower.

It works with:

a V3 Lower Tail Shaft and a V3 Lower Shim Tail;
a Micro V3 Atmo Lower Tail Shaft and a Micro V3 Atmo Lower Shim Tail.

V3 and Micro V3 Atmo Tail Shafts and Shim Tails are not interchangeable on the fuselage side.

The Tail Wing remains compatible with both diameters thanks to its standard interface. You must use the Tail Shaft and Shim Tail that match the fuselage diameter.

It cannot be mounted on an Upper Tail Shaft, an Upper Shim Tail or an Upper wedge.

Equipments

The Tail Wing is supplied on its own, without mounting hardware.

The required screws are supplied with the Carbon Tail, wedge or Shim Tail used for the assembly.

Assembly on a Shim Tail Upper uses two M6 screws matched to the thickness of the Tail Wing.

The different Tail Wing thicknesses may require different screw lengths. Always use the hardware that matches the assembly in order to maintain sufficient thread engagement without bottoming out in the thread.

Stainless steel hardware suited to the repeated loads of foiling and marine use.

Simple top-mount assembly on the Tail Wing, with only two visible screws.

Standard GONG seat for precise, repeatable Tail Wing positioning.

Firm connection, rigid while riding and easy to disassemble after the session.
