FEEDBACK: VELOCE FREE FLY V3 ATMO

News
Lowkite

24 august 2026 0

More intuitive control, more fun, while retaining the signature glide of the Veloce.

Foiler: Mathieu, GONG team rider, on a Cruzader Squash FSP Pro, Neutra Light V3 4.5m2 lowkite, HM mast, Veloce Freefly V3 Atmo front wing and Veloce V3 Atmo Team Series stab.

Earlier take-off and intuitive pumping

“I tested the new Veloce V3 Atmo XL and the overall feeling is clear: you keep everything that already made the V3 so good, but with a real boost in comfort and efficiency, especially at low speeds.

From the very first runs, you can feel that it takes off earlier and more easily, without having to push hard on the front foot. The foil stays super balanced, even in light wind, which makes the session easy and enjoyable.

The biggest highlight is definitely the pumping: you can fly slower, for longer, and most importantly without wearing yourself out. That’s really one of the things that impressed me most from the very first session.

In terms of glide, it’s not necessarily faster at top speed, but it feels much smoother and more natural. You really get the impression that the foil just keeps moving forward on its own, without constantly having to “push” it.”

Glide and maneuverability in the Atmo era

“In the bumps and when gliding, it’s even more obvious: the V3 Atmo makes better use of the slightest variations, connects sections with ease and maintains speed really well. There’s clearly more glide, even if it’s obviously not twice as much.

In terms of maneuverability, it’s really clean too. Tips-out maneuvers are easy and the foil reconnects immediately, with no surprises.

In tiny 20 to 30 cm waves, it still performs brilliantly, but without being a revolution compared with the standard V3, which was already very strong in this area.

👉 Overall, this V3 Atmo XL doesn’t change everything... but it improves exactly what matters:

- earlier take-off

- better low-speed stability

- much more efficient pumping

- even better glide

- smoother, more fluid riding

- maneuverability that’s still just as impressive

Above all, it’s a foil that feels easier, more forgiving and more efficient in light conditions. A genuinely smart evolution that pushes the qualities of the V3 even further without changing its character.

Of course, I also have the L and it behaves exactly the same way 😉” Thanks FantoSlate for this feedback shared in the GONG Galaxy group.
