Description

Program

The compact and ultra-maneuverable lowkite for upwind performance and full-on surfing. Designed for riders who want to take their riding to the next level: more control, more radical maneuvers, and more speed in transitions. Perfect with small foils and technical boards.

Presentation

A pure lowkite, geared towards surfing and performance, designed to exploit the water with fluidity and commitment. Compact, lightweight, intuitive, but above all remarkably efficient, it becomes completely unnoticeable, allowing you to fully enjoy your surfing.

Radical maneuverability

The Neutra turns sharply, quickly, and exactly where you want it to. Its pronounced arc, optimized tips, and shortened bridle provide immediate responsiveness. The result: clean trajectories, lightning-fast transitions, and the ability to truly surf without the kite, just like wing foiling, by playing with weight distribution and timing.

Active stability, total control

Stability has been further enhanced, without ever locking the lowkite or hindering its maneuverability. The leading edge gains stability and is lengthened in its effective area, while the infills have been extensively redesigned, with lengths increased by up to 30% and diagonal ribs that stiffens the entire structure.

The bridle at the wingtips, with optimized load distribution, locks the lowkite's shape into place throughout all phases of flight. As a result, the Neutra perfectly maintains its profile, even in gusty winds or during demanding maneuvers. Handling remains natural, fluid, and above all, extremely reassuring.

Comfort and precision in bars

The feel at the bar evolves with more precise and intuitive steering. Angle correction provides a more natural position, reducing fatigue and improving control. The bar width is perfectly adapted to each size, while the neoprene-sheathed pre-lines and shorter pig tails further refine steering precision.

Ultimately, reading the lowkite becomes intuitive, and control is effortless. A feeling of lightness and precision that makes all the difference on the water.

Impressive high-waisted beach outfit

The Neutra absorbs strong winds with disconcerting ease. Its perfectly shaped profile, combined with excellent depowering capabilities, allows for overpowered sailing without ever being affected. Even in gusty conditions or on choppy water, the lowkite remains predictable, stable, and comfortable.

You maintain control at all times, without excessive tension, allowing you to sail longer and more engaged, without fatigue.

Cap and yield

The heading is direct, efficient, and uncompromising. The stiffened leading edge, with increased overlap, combined with an optimized shape and excellent profile stability, allows the lowkite to sail upwind with ease.

Each input is converted into speed and heading, completely freeing up your navigation. You can effortlessly link upwind runs and maximize your downwind runs with total fluidity.

Clean power and instant takeoff

The launch is simple, quick, almost instinctive. Two impulses are enough to launch the lowkite, even when underpowered. The power arrives immediately, but remains perfectly controllable, with constant and progressive traction. The lowkite moves naturally through the wind window, accelerates smoothly, and maintains its shape throughout. This exceptional performance makes the sport easier, smoother, and incredibly efficient.

Lightness, compactness, freedom

The single-skin construction retains all its advantages, with an ultra-light lowkite that's easy to handle and pack. In seconds, it collapses, folds up, and becomes virtually unnoticeable. The shorter bridles make packing even easier, and the new bag opens up new possibilities, whether for downwinders or for carrying a second kite without any constraints. Freedom of movement is total, both on and off the water.

Ultra-stable tips

Extensive work has been carried out on the wingtips to improve their stability. Adding surface area to the leading edges of the tips, combined with longer, specific infill panels and precise repositioning of the tension points, significantly stabilizes this key area. Even under load or in gusts, the tips retain their shape. The lowkite remains clean, consistent, and perfectly controllable, regardless of the conditions.

Simple robustness, minimal maintenance

Without inflatable tubes or pressure plates, the Neutra focuses on the essentials. It doesn't retain water, withstands repeated handling, and proves remarkably reliable over time. It's a lowkite designed for frequent, intense use, without maintenance requirements or unnecessary fragility.

Technical versatility and intense sensations

The Neutra is designed for aggressive lowkiting. Its playful and technical nature allows you to fully exploit the performance of fast foils and technical boards. It's ideal for those who want to radicalize their riding, surfing bumps with agility and constantly pushing their limits.

Affordable performance

Despite its assertive character, the Neutra remains surprisingly accessible. It's easy to get the hang of, the sensations are immediate, and progression is natural. In just a few sessions, you'll improve, gain control, and fully exploit the lowkite's potential.

GONG, expertise and unique value for money

The Neutra, the result of rigorous development, hundreds of prototypes, and countless tests by our extensive team, fully benefits from GONG's renowned expertise in board sports. Thanks to our direct-to-user model, we offer you an ultra-high-performance lowkite at the best value for money on the market.

With the Neutra lowkite, discover a new vision of lowkiting, manageable, easy and radical, to push your limits and reinvent your foiling practice with each session.

Exceptional stability thanks to the new bridle and rods

The Neutra takes a significant step forward in stability thanks to a complete redesign of its structure and bridle system. The attachment points have been redesigned, with more precise load distribution, particularly on the wingtips where the new bridle system enhances stability and control. The shorter bridles also contribute to a more compact design and a more direct feel for the lowkite.

The work on the leading edge goes even further, with increased canopy overlap that stiffens the entire structure. The infill panels have also evolved: longer, better distributed, and now with diagonal ribs in certain areas, they lock the profile without ever making it rigid. This structure allows the lowkite to maintain a clean and consistent shape, regardless of the stresses.

The nylon stiffeners perfectly smooth the leading edge, improving both aerodynamic penetration and airflow consistency. The lowkite becomes more homogeneous, faster, and above all, much more stable in all phases of flight.

On the water, everything becomes simpler. Takeoffs are immediate, transitions are smooth, heading is natural, and waiting periods are effortless. Even in gusty winds or during piloting errors, the Neutra remains stable and predictable.

You experience a true glide through the air, with a kite that remains stable, efficient, and always ready to relaunch. Riding becomes more serene from the very first sessions, with a level of stability and confidence rarely achieved in lowkiting.

Benefits :

Maximum stability, even in the event of pilot error
Transition and recovery made easier, it's all a breeze.
Shorter lines for easier storage

Total control and perfect depower

The Neutra offers exceptionally precise power control thanks to a stabilized front profile and a rear that opens efficiently when depowered. Depower is crisp, progressive, and always controlled. Recent improvements further enhance this performance, with a stiffer leading edge, optimized infill panels, and a redesigned bridle that perfectly maintains the profile, even in gusts. On the water, the lowkite remains stable, absorbs gusts without shifting, and instantly releases power on demand. The result: comfortable, precise, and confident riding, even at high wind speeds or when overpowered.

Benefits:

Precise power control
Smooth navigation in high water
Ideal stability for harness riding

Optimal upwind performance

The Neutra goes upwind with surprising ease. Its perfectly smoothed and stiffened leading edge, combined with an optimized shape and increased overlap, allows it to generate a natural and efficient pointing ability, effortlessly. Further improvements stabilize the profile under load, enhancing stability and performance, even with demanding foils or in marginal conditions. On the water, there's no more struggling: you get upwind quickly, conserve energy, and enjoy downwind runs with maximum pleasure.

Benefits:

Optimized heading, comparable to a classic kite
Increased efficiency, maximized enjoyment
Less effort, more time on the water

Compact and lightweight

Thanks to its ultra-lightweight single-skin construction, the Neutra packs down instantly. In a second, it collapses and can be held in a ball in one hand, whether freeflying or simply tucked under a rash guard. This is a huge advantage both downwind and during technical maneuvers, especially when clearing a wave in shorebreak. The 2026 updates, with shorter bridles and a new bag designed for transport or downwind riding, further enhance this ease of use. The lowkite becomes even simpler to fold, pack, and take everywhere. On land or while traveling, you'll forget you're even wearing it. Ultra-compact, lightweight, and uncomplicated, it integrates perfectly into your quiver and opens the door to new ways of riding, without any added difficulty.

Benefits:

Total freedom, simplicity, efficiency
Perfect for downwind sessions
Easy to carry and store

Precise handling and high-end finishes

Our lowkites are available with several bar choices (as an option), all optimized for precise and responsive control. Every movement is instantly transmitted to the lowkite, guaranteeing optimal control and ultra-smooth riding.

Ultra-precise and responsive handling
Less risk of errors related to proximity to water

Nylon stiffeners, extended infills, and diagonal ribs for a perfect leading edge

The semi-rigid nylon stiffeners integrated into the leading edge give the Neutra remarkable stability and especially smooth glide. Combined with increased overlap and a reinforced overall structure, they help maintain a profile that stays perfectly clean and consistent in all conditions.

The result is immediate: a wider wind range, better upwind performance, and a more efficient overall ride. On the water, everything feels smoother and more comfortable, with a lowkite that stays mobile, light, and always fully controllable.

Perfectly stable, smooth profile.
Wider wind range, better upwind ability.
Greater mobility and comfort.

New simplified bridle

The Neutra’s bridle has been completely redesigned and simplified with just three attachment points. This layout greatly reduces the risk of tangles and makes all handling much smoother.

The result is faster, cleaner packing and a lowkite that is always ready to go without any hassle.

Advanced technology, robustness, and top‑end control

The Neutra features a fully optimized bridle that enhances its self‑stability and overall performance in all flight phases. Combined with the structural updates; reworked infills, a stiffened leading edge, and improved load distribution the lowkite remains perfectly shaped, even at the top of its range and in gusts.

This ability to handle strong wind makes all the difference. The lowkite does not deform, keeps a clean profile, and continues to depower efficiently on demand. Control remains total, even when overpowered, with a clear feeling of safety and comfort that lets you keep riding for longer without being overpowered.

The infill panels are also optimized to limit water retention, making handling and relaunches easier. Finally, the triple‑ripstop construction, inherited from kite and wing ranges, delivers excellent resistance to stress without sacrificing lightness. You get a lowkite that is both robust and high‑performance, and above all extremely reliable in strong wind staying composed and efficient where many other lowkites start to feel heavy and unstable due to deformation.

Innovative self‑stabilizing bridle.
Fast water drainage for easier relaunch.
Maximum durability with proven triple‑ripstop fabric.

Buying guide

For whom?

The Neutra lowkite is designed for foilers who want a high-performance lowkite right from their first rides. More dynamic and responsive than the Lowkite Plus, it's aimed at those seeking more sensations and maneuverability for carving, folding/unfolding, while maintaining great ease of use.

This model is ideal for:

Riders who want a playful and precise lowkite, with greater potential in waves than the Plus.
Downwind foilers looking for a light and compact tool to accelerate their starts and take advantage of the bumps with more fluidity.
Those who want a high-performance lowkite that can be packed away after takeoff, with better maneuverability to adjust trajectories in flight.
Riders comfortable with foiling, looking for more direct and responsive handling than the Plus, but still accessible, powerful and with incredible upwind performance.

For what?

The Lowkite Neutra covers the same range as the Lowkite Plus, adding more playfulness and maneuverability. It's designed for wave riding (carving), maneuvers, and upwind/downwind conditions, while also offering better control and precise handling on long freeride runs.

Its main use is to put in turns, whether packed in freefly, power in hand, in transitions, or in tricks.

It allows for immediate takeoff thanks to its moderate arc, lenticular outline and thin ears that concentrate its energy.

It can be easily packed in your hand, under a lycra or in a small bag once in flight, offering a natural, free and intuitive glide over bumps.

Unlike the Plus, the Neutra allows more variations in trajectory and can be used to make a few short tacks and especially to surf the waves with more agility.

What size?

The Neutra lowkite is available in 2m², 2.5m², 3m², 3.5m², 4m², 4.5m² and 5m². The choice of size depends mainly on the rider's size and the wind conditions :

How to choose the right size?

Keep in mind that this is very similar to wing surface habits.

Beginner/Safety: Opt for a larger size to ensure easier takeoff in moderate wind conditions. A 4m² kite in 15-20 knots is a good compromise between ease of use and power.
Experienced / Performance: Lighter or more experienced riders can go down in size for better maneuverability, or up in size to gain low-end range with a 5m2 in 10/12 knots.
Strong winds: The smaller sizes (3m², 2m²) are suitable for sustained winds and riders looking for more control. With a harness, the wind range is enormous.

Which quiver?

The Lowkite Neutra can be associated with a setup optimized for downwind but not only that, it can also be used with your wing setup once you have passed the progression stages.

Board: A mid-length or downwind foil board with good glide is essential to start with. But a compact wing board will be absolutely fantastic, especially with a full-power harness in a neutral setup later on.
Foil: A high-performance, responsive foil, around 800 cm² to 1200 cm², allowing for better relaunch after each bump. Consider a pure wave foil, in 600/700 cm², which will give you incredible maneuverability.
Accessories: A fitted lycra or a small bag to store the lowkite once launched.

This setup allows you to exploit the full potential of the Neutra, adding more control and sensations compared to the Plus, while remaining within an upwind/downwind and surfing program.

Which leash?

For your safety, we strongly recommend the use of a board leash because your lowkite has no buoyancy, so the leash becomes essential.

Board leash: A straight leash will prevent tangling in the bridles. A waist belt leash will be more comfortable: it won't drag in the water or get caught under your feet. A coiled leash has the disadvantage of tangling more easily in your lowkite bridles. Be careful of tangles in waves, where leashes and bridles can become dangerous. Be cautious.
Lowkite leash: in theory, you should use one, but it's clearly completely unnecessary. If you release your single-skin lowkite on the water, you'll see it won't travel more than 50 meters and will come to a stop on the surface. Paddling on your board will easily catch it. Obviously, in waves, if you let go, it risks being tossed around and sinking momentarily. It's hard to lose with its fluorescent color, but we think it's best not to be attached to it in waves because the pull is potentially enormous, and because getting tangled in the bridles in waves is extremely dangerous: risk of cutting your fingers or ears, or drowning from suffocation. Clearly, you must stay away from the lowkite in waves if it falls. We strongly emphasize this point, which means avoiding waves altogether.

Equipments

Carrying bag designed for performance and comfort

The Lowkite Neutra comes with a robust carrying bag, designed to simplify every session and every trip. Its wide opening allows for quick packing of the kite without bending or straining the nylon leading edge stiffeners. The optimized volume also allows you to safely carry a second Lowkite, ideal for adapting to changing wind conditions.

A GONG harness hook can be attached for added convenience on the water. Its reinforced back, adjustable strap, and secure zip and snap closure ensure comfort, protection, and efficiency for everyday use.
