Wing in good condition, repaired in our workshop: a discreet sewn repair on the tip of the double-skin section. This is a prototype with a shape similar to the production model. Leading edge and central strut made of standard UPE (not Aramid). The stitching lines are visible in blue. It shows some typical signs of use and residual sand (purely cosmetic and unobtrusive). Equipped with a green V1 boom showing very slight scuffs on the grip. It features the old GONG logo. Sold without a repair kit.

The revolutionary double profile Race wing.

Presentation

The PULSE DP UPE ARAMID is a jewel of innovation and performance.

This concept of wide luff which is already known in windsurfing for example and in aeronautics more broadly, had never reached production for winging before GONG found simple and effective technical solutions. Developed by our engineers and our Pro Team, this design was born after dozens of specific prototypes and hundreds of hours of digital simulations. Converting a very common idea to a perfect realization took a lot of dedication.

The PULSE DP UPE ARAMID has been designed to be the best Race wing :

The ratio is increased from 4.0m2 to 5.5m2 to limit drag.
The wingspan is almost constant from 5.5m2 to 6.5m2 to have more torque and be able to sail full tilt over the chop without hitting the crests.
The draft is now flatter than on the PULSE Boom. The wing is more incisive in the air and glides even better!
The double profile which traps the air behind the leading edge greatly limits drag, the efficiency gained at high speed is stunning.
The leading edge diameters have been reworked, the central section has been refined for more glide, the diameters at the tips have been slightly increased to improve the rigidity and make the wing more powerful.
The tips have been opened a bit to optimize air flow, with glide as the main point of focus.
The wing is equipped with a new material on the inflatable structures, UPE Aramid, lighter and stiffer than UPE in order to offer unrivaled performance on the market.

UPE ARAMID Technology

The Droïd UPE Aramid benefits from the most advanced technology to excel in freestyle:

The UPE Aramid, a true gem of textile technology developed by experts in nautical textiles.

How does it work?

The PET film ensures the connection between the elements and waterproofing.
The Aramid fibers are arranged at a chosen angle to block the fabric’s extension under load without unnecessarily adding weight to the structure.
The thin layer of UPE, lighter than on UPE 200, ensures strength. This tight weave of Dyneema fibers is a veritable shield.

These three laminated layers create a fabric that is both extremely lightweight, highly rigid, and very resistant to tearing.

Our exclusive assembly, tested in the laboratory and by the Pro Team, ensures unparalleled longevity for UPE Aramid.

The whole system is so rigid that 8 PSI gives you the rigidity of a UPE 200 at 15 PSI. It’s truly deformation-resistant.

Less pressure = less stress in the wing = less time spent pumping.

More durability, performance, and lightness: the holy grail.

Buying guide

For whom?

It is aimed at experienced wing foilers who are looking for a fine and powerful wing to pilot that always delivers more speed.

The Pulse DP is technical, efficient and demanding; therefore we do not recommend it for beginners or people in the progression phase. You need a solid background in wing foiling, which can be enriched by extensive experience in windsurf racing or slalom since the piloting is essentially the same.

For what?

Go faster, in a straight line or on a long up and down course.

This is not a wing for jumping, surfing, maneuvering or doing cool tacks. This is the first pure Race wing!!!

What size?

With this PULSE DP UPE ARAMID, as soon as you fly you constantly have power in the wing by creating apparent wind which it loves and which it will convert into forward traction.

For a Slalom use, take the same size wing as usual to maintain handling and control when sailing crosswind.

For a Race use with upwind and downwind courses close to the tailwind, it is preferable to take it a size larger than a traditional wing.

Understanding our range of wings:

Plus: the wing for progression.
SuperPower: the powerful wing.
Pulse: the wing for racing and long distance.
Droïd: the wing for surf / freestyle.
Neutra: the perfect wing for waves and free-flying.

Which quiver?

You need a fast foil to exploit all the speed that this wing will offer. It will be perfect with a Veloce H, a Ypra S or a Ypra.

Generally we will even take advantage of the superior traction of the Pulse DP to remove 100 to 200cm2 on the front wing.

But you can also associate it with a Cruzader and a giant front wing like the Sirus in very light winds. Its magical glide will be a real pleasure.

For the board, the best choice is a rigid FSP Pro board to transmit all the energy to the foil.

With or without a harness?

With the PULSE DP UPE ARAMID, the harness is mandatory to sheet in properly, lean back in the harness and set your course, and relieve your arms on long runs at high speed!

The Pulse DP pulls very hard, and provides much more lift than a single skin wing. So you can really rest in the harness.

Moreover, a real harness is recommended for long overpowered sessions. It pulls really hard and all the time.

The wing is equipped with a boom so the harness line is adjustable to find your sweet spot.

Please note, the boom harness line is not supplied with the wing.

Equipments

The PULSE DP UPE ARAMID is equipped with the most prestigious elements in wing foiling:

The double profile, which is a second canopy that connects the leading edge to the intrado to optimize flow.
The Low Drag System technology on each tip consists of a rigid, removable slat tensioned by a profiled clip to allow smooth air flow.
The Prepreg carbon is wrapped around the boom in 4 directions to maximize its rigidity, it is the most high-end technology on the market! Its oval shape offers ideal ergonomics to be able to sail with this powerful wing without paralyzing the forearms.

The new windows were positioned to have a panoramic view downwind. This is a real plus for your safety and that of others.
A downwind handle on the leading edge which allows the shocked wing to be manipulated on land as well as on the water.
The inflation/deflation valves are directly connected to the hose of the pump (pump not supplied). No more incompatible or lost nozzle!
The neoprene valve caps have been pierced to facilitate air evacuation when folding, even closed!
The micro-slats at the trailing edge are ultra light for considerable weight savings.
The wing is always supplied with its repair kit.
To comply with sailing regulations, we have integrated a laminated label on the underside, close to the tip, to write down the owner’s personal information: name, first name, telephone number and address.
The PULSE DP UPE ARAMID is supplied with a high-end bag whose dimensions will allow you to store the wing easily and without dismantling either the boom or the LDS slats by rolling the wing like a windsurf sail. It’s really practical and space-saving since it’s smaller than your board.
