All brands - The Foil Buddy

The Foil Buddy fits naturally into the GONG universe with tools developed specifically for wingfoil and foil riders. Created in Bayonne by riders, the brand addresses a simple need: being able to adjust or tighten a foil directly at the spot, or even on the water, without carrying a full toolbox.

Compact, floating and resistant to the marine environment, The Foil Buddy tools can easily be kept in a wetsuit or impact-vest pocket. A practical solution for always having the right Torx sizes within reach during a session.

The Foil Buddy offers tools combining two Torx keys in a single accessory. Depending on the version, T30/T40 or T30/T45 combinations can be used on different screws found in foil assemblies, particularly around the stabiliser or front wing.

The aim is to make quick tightening or adjustments possible without having to return to the vehicle. Their compact shape with rounded edges also makes them easy to carry while riding.

The metal parts are made from Grade 5 titanium, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in salt-water environments. The Foil Buddy therefore uses construction suited to repeated contact with seawater, where conventional tools can quickly oxidise.

The tools are also designed to float and use colours that are easy to spot on the water. This is particularly useful when an adjustment needs to be made during a session.

The range also includes a floating Torx tool with an integrated line cutter. This adds a useful safety function for quickly cutting a line or cord when the situation requires it.

At GONG, The Foil Buddy complements the equipment of wingfoil and foil riders with a minimalist tool designed to stay with the rider. Torx keys, salt-water resistance, buoyancy and a line cutter depending on the model: the essentials fit into a compact format ready for every session.
