GEAR: CAN YOU TRAVEL WITH A WING FOIL BAG UNDER 23 KG?

News
Wing

18 august 2025 0

Absolutely! Pack your full setup—aluminum foil, two wings, and a wetsuit—all in a bag that stays under 23 kg!

Offering you ultra-high-performance, durable, and accessible gear is a core commitment at GONG. This ambition drives us to constantly reduce equipment weight while ensuring top-tier durability. We optimize every product in our lineup—just like the HIPE 2025 boards, now up to 2 kg lighter thanks to cutting-edge tech! The HIPE Perf 5’3 2025 (100L) weighs in at just 5.5 kg!

More comfort on the water and hassle-free travel—especially by air, where airlines impose weight limits: 23 kg for regular luggage and 32 kg for oversized baggage, often with an extra charge.*

Travel light with our HIPE packs—no extra baggage fees to worry about, as they all stay under 23 kg (except for the HIPE Learn pack). Most even leave you plenty of room for a second wing, an extra foil, or your accessories!

Example of a typical quiver including:

A HIPE Perf 5’3 2025;
Ascent foil setup including Alu 85 V3 mast, top plate, fuselage connector, V3 Alu fuselage, Ascent front wing and Ascent stab;
A Plus 5m2 Perf Series wing;
A Plus 4m2 Perf Series wing;
Two wing bags Plus;
A GONG two-parts carbon boom;
A double-action pump;
Screw & repair kit;
6mm coiled wrist wing leash;
7mm coiled adjustable belt board leash;
GONG protective helmet;
Vissla 2/2 shorty wetsuit;
GONG Travel Light poncho.

Riding with a rigid board?

A rigid board adds about 2 kg compared to a HIPE 2025 of the same volume. You’ll still be within the oversized baggage limit, but if you’re aiming for under 23 kg, consider these tips:

Stick to one wing—a 4m² or 4.5m² Aramid is your best bet: ultra-light, durable, and high-performance.
Use a Carbon V3 mast and carbon wings, saving nearly 800g compared to an aluminum setup with fiberglass wings.
Pack light—a lightweight bag will save you extra weight compared to a standard wing bag.
…

There are plenty of ways to keep your setup under the weight limit. Plus, our new travel-optimized board bags are 15% to 40% lighter! Go for the Wingfoil Travel Bag 5’5 and drop 2.6 kg from the previous version—or pick the Wingfoil Travel Bag Wheel 5’5 and save 2 kg, with the added convenience of wheels.

Recommandations

Keep your front wings and stabilizers safe with protective covers—they’ll protect both your gear and the rest of your luggage. Check out our "Covers" section for a full range of options for all your spare parts.

*Weight isn’t the only factor—some airlines also enforce size restrictions (HLW). Read your airline’s baggage policy carefully to avoid any last-minute headaches.
