Description

Program

The benchmark lowkite for glide and performance. Designed for freerace and committed freeride, it is aimed at those who want to go fast, upwind, and cover long distances with maximum efficiency and precision.

Presentation

The Pulse GONG lowkite is designed for riders seeking speed and performance.

Pure glide and performance

The Pulse GONG lowkite is designed for riders seeking absolute speed and performance. A true freerace and freeride kite, it offers exceptional glide, impressive upwind ability, and total mobility on the water. Every run becomes faster, smoother, with a feeling of lightness and constant efficiency.

High ratio and aerodynamic efficiency

With its high aspect ratio of 3.5 and ultra-taut profile, the Pulse maximizes performance. Its optimized single-skin construction, combined with a very rigid leading edge thanks to the large leading-edge overlap, allows you to reach high speeds while maintaining total control. The lowkite remains perfectly stable, trajectories are precise, and every bar input is immediately responsive.

Stability and profile retention

The Pulse stands out for its remarkable stability, even at high speeds. Optimized, triangulated, and intelligently distributed infills maintain the profile without restricting it, while the high bridle density ensures consistent rigidity. Even in demanding or irregular conditions, the lowkite retains a clean and efficient shape, guaranteeing smooth and controlled riding.

Cape and long distances

Designed for freeracing and long passages, the Pulse excels both upwind and downwind. Its significant leading edge-to-bar distance allows you to fully exploit its high aspect ratio while keeping the lowkite far from the water. The result: exceptional pointing ability, fast upwind performance, and smooth, effortless downwind runs.

Acceleration and control

The Pulse delivers direct and consistent acceleration. Its profile remains stable in all circumstances, allowing for precise and efficient depower control. The bar angle adjustment and sizing adapted to each rider size ensure comfortable handling, even at full speed or during long, demanding sessions.

Comfort and implementation

Every detail has been designed to simplify use and maximize enjoyment. Half sizes, pig tails adapted to the shape, and color-coded lines make adjustments easy. The sheathed pre-line improves handling and durability. The overall package offers optimal comfort for extended, unrestricted paddling.

Sensations and program

Riding the Pulse is like entering a new dimension of kitesurfing. The kite accelerates, tracks, and transforms every gust into pure speed. It's designed for ambitious riders who want to carve, go far, and make the most of every session.

Demanding but incredibly rewarding, it opens the door to high-level performance with a feeling of total control.

The Pulse spirit

The Pulse embodies GONG's vision of lowkite performance: fast, efficient, and uncompromising. A lowkite designed for pure gliding, where every detail is optimized to go faster, further, and with more control.

STABILITY AND CONTROL DURING NAVIGATION

The Pulse stands out for its impeccable stability, even in strong wind conditions. Its long bridle keeps the lowkite away from the water, reducing the risk of errors and improving handling precision.

Enhanced stability in the upper range
Smooth and predictable handling

3 bar options to match your riding style

The Pulse is available with several bar options (sold separately), all optimized for precise, responsive control. Every movement is instantly transmitted to the lowkite, ensuring optimal handling and ultra-smooth riding.

ADAPTABILITY AND COMFORT WHILE SAILING

The Pulse lowkite is designed for smooth, long-distance sailing. Its stable handling and wide wind range allow it to adapt to a variety of wind conditions.

Thanks to its ability to withstand gusts and remain fluid in light wind, it offers exceptional sailing comfort, perfect for committed and prolonged sessions.

A lowkite that is forgiving in low and high wind ranges
Smooth glide without loss of efficiency
Ideal for long and technical sessions

High ratio for maximum performance

With its very high aspect ratio of 4.5, the Pulse lowkite is designed to maximize aerodynamic efficiency. This characteristic allows it to achieve exceptional speed and upwind performance, while offering precise and smooth handling.

A high aspect ratio also means the lowkite generates less drag, promoting fast and consistent gliding. This is an ideal setup for maximizing apparent wind and maintaining sustained speed throughout the session.

The range of use is also greater because you can send the lowkite to the edge of the window to reduce the pull downwind and not get "pulled off for no reason".

High ratio for ultra-efficient gliding
Reduced drag for better speed
Aerodynamics optimized for freerace

Exceptional glide and upwind performance

The Pulse lowkite is built to cut upwind with outstanding efficiency. Its optimized design easily moves forward in the window, harnessing every gust to gradually accelerate and hold a high‑performance course.

Thanks to its taut profile and low drag, it delivers perfectly balanced traction, ideal for covering long distances with minimal effort. Whether riding upwind or downwind, the Pulse offers a unique gliding sensation with no loss of energy.

Ultra‑efficient upwind performance.
Smooth, progressive acceleration.
Perfect balance between course angle and power.

A powerful, fast lowkite

The Pulse is a true upwind machine. Its ultra‑sleek profile and speed‑optimized design allow you to fully unlock its potential in freerace and freeride.

With continuous, progressive traction, it maintains high speed without any loss of control. It is designed to extend distances and keep you riding calmly and confidently, while remaining highly responsive to every input from the rider.

Ultra fast and high performance lowkite.
Perfect for freerace and freeride.
High speed with total control.

Diagonal ribs

Diagonal ribs reinforces the profile’s rigidity and allows the lowkite to keep its shape even under heavy load. The result is a more stable profile, sharper, more precise rotations, and more controlled jumps. Each infill works in harmony, reducing deformation and maximizing responsiveness, for instinctive, reliable handling in all conditions, on flat water as well as in the waves.

Buying guide

For whom?

The Pulse lowkite is designed for riders seeking speed, glide, and performance in freerace and freeride. Unlike the Plus and Neutra, which are designed to be packed away after launch, and the Droid, which is surf-freestyle oriented, the Pulse is a lowkite dedicated to active riding, optimized for long edges, efficient upwind performance, and downwind runs at full speed.

This model is ideal for:

Experienced riders who want to maximize the performance of the lowkite.
Freerace and freeride enthusiasts, who are looking for a fast and efficient alternative to wing foiling .
Those who want to optimize their trajectories, with impressive upwind performance and ultra-efficient gliding.
Riders looking for speed and efficiency, to cover long distances in minimum time.
