Programme

The record-breaking carbon Tail Wing that reduces drag to the absolute minimum to maximise distance and duration in pump foiling.

Overview

The Ultra Trail V3 Atmo Pro Team Series carbon Tail Wing was developed exclusively for distance and duration records in pump foiling.

Its extreme 18.0 aspect ratio reduces induced drag to a minimum. The foil carries speed exceptionally well between pumps and turns a perfectly controlled cadence into maximum distance.

It takes the Supra Trail philosophy to its most radical extreme. With more glide, more stability and greater efficiency, it offers far less support and forgiveness in return.

Its extremely straight, progressive outline stabilises trajectories and eliminates unwanted movement. Manoeuvrability is deliberately sacrificed in favour of efficiency.

Its extremely thin, very lightly cambered profile completely frees up the Front Wing, reduces front foot pressure and generates very little nose-up under acceleration.

This low rear lift demands flawless technique. Take-off, cadence, trim and flight height must remain perfectly controlled.

Paired with the Ultra Trail Front Wing, it creates our most efficient and most demanding pump foiling setup.

Built in CNC-machined monolithic T700 carbon, it precisely maintains its profile and tips despite its extreme span.

The benchmark setup with a Medium Tail Shaft and 0° Tail Shim offers the best overall balance. The Long maximises stability and consistency for record attempts.

ASPECT RATIO 18.0

The Ultra Trail features an extreme aspect ratio of 18.0 to reduce induced drag to an absolute minimum.

The foil retains speed exceptionally well between pumps and covers more distance at a slower cadence.

This ratio puts the Ultra Trail at the top of the range for record attempts, but it requires perfectly dialled-in technique.

EXTREMELY STRAIGHT OUTLINE

The outline is extremely elongated, straight and progressive, with no concentration of surface area in the centre.

This distribution stabilises the foil across its entire span and almost completely eliminates unwanted lateral movement.

It maximises straight-line trajectories and efficiency, but offers very little rail-to-rail response or manoeuvrability.

EXTREMELY THIN PROFILE

The extremely thin profile reduces frontal area and drag to their lowest possible level.

Its very low camber generates little rear lift, fully frees up the Front Wing and greatly limits nose-up as the foil accelerates.

This thinness delivers exceptional efficiency, but very little support when speed or cadence drop.

MINIMAL TOLERANCE

The Ultra Trail tolerates very little variation in cadence, trim or height.

Its low rear lift hides no mistakes. The rider must maintain enough speed and fly the aircraft with great precision throughout the entire sequence.

This absolute demand makes it possible to eliminate the support and drag that do not directly contribute to forward drive.

VERY LOW DIHEDRAL

The very low actual dihedral keeps a geometry close to a flat wing to maximise efficiency all the way out to the tips.

It limits unnecessary flow deviations and optimises the transfer of every pump.

Combined with the extremely fine tips, it extends speed and glide through long sequences.

UPPER ARCHITECTURE

The Ultra Trail is developed exclusively around an Upper architecture. It works with a Carbon Tail and its matching shim, or with an Upper Tail Shaft paired with an Upper Tail Shim.

The benchmark setup with a Medium Tail Shaft and 0° Tail Shim provides the clearest baseline for making the most of its efficiency.

The Long Tail Shaft delivers greater pitch and cadence stability. It is a particularly high-performance choice for distance and duration records.

The Short makes the foil too twitchy and moves well away from the Ultra Trail's natural programme.

A fully customizable Foil

The Tail Wing is only one part of your foil's overall behavior. With the V3 Atmo system, you can also choose your Tail Shaft length and Tail Shim angle of incidence to achieve a setup perfectly matched to your skill level, riding style, and discipline.

The Tail Shaft primarily influences the foil's dynamic behavior. A Short model makes the foil more responsive and reduces turning radius. The Medium version delivers the reference balance. The Long version provides greater longitudinal stability, smooths pitch movements, and makes long, flowing lines easier to maintain.

The Tail Shim then allows you to fine-tune the foil's longitudinal balance. It adjusts front-foot pressure, pitch attitude, takeoff ease, pumping cadence, and the foil's overall character, without changing the intrinsic characteristics of your Tail Wing.

The recommended setup for each Tail Wing is always the best place to start. It delivers exactly the behavior intended by the designer. From this baseline, you can progressively tune your foil to your own preferences by changing only one parameter at a time.

This modular system naturally evolves with your progression. The same Tail Wing can continue to meet your needs for many seasons simply by combining different Tail Shaft lengths and Tail Shim angles.

You're not simply choosing a Tail Wing, you're choosing a tuning platform that allows your foil to evolve with your riding, delivering a setup tailored with precision to the way you ride.

A Platform that evolves with you

At GONG, a new generation of products doesn't make your existing equipment obsolete. Our priority is to improve performance while protecting your investment.

All V3 Atmo Tail Wings share a standard mounting interface that defines their reference angle of incidence. This allows them to be installed on both the new V3 Atmo Tail Shims and the previous compatible V3 shims, without requiring you to replace your entire rear foil assembly.

This continuity also means that the same Tail Wing can be used with either a V3 or Micro V3 Atmo fuselage. Simply select the Tail Shaft and Tail Shim designed for your fuselage diameter. You can upgrade your platform progressively, without rebuilding your entire quiver every time a new innovation is introduced.

This compatibility is at the heart of our development philosophy. Every new generation delivers greater performance, finer tuning possibilities, and increased precision, while remaining designed to preserve as much of your existing equipment as possible.

You're investing in a durable platform that evolves alongside your riding, not in a succession of incompatible systems that must be replaced entirely with every new product generation.

V3 Atmo, a new era

The V3 Atmo range marks a major leap forward in the design, manufacturing, and finishing of our foils. Reaching this new level of performance required far more than evolving the shapes. We rethought the entire process, from R&D to the finished product.

Every V3 Atmo shape is designed in 3D, digitally optimized, thoroughly tested by the GONG Team, and manufactured with an unprecedented level of precision. Profiles, thickness distribution, transitions, fillets, connection areas, and trailing edges have all been refined to reduce parasitic drag, improve water flow, and maximize efficiency.

Our new production facility enables manufacturing in an ultra-clean, highly controlled environment with a level of precision approaching that of the world's leading aerospace, motorsport, and high-performance composite industries. Optimized extraction of solvents and dust creates better working conditions while ensuring cleaner parts throughout every stage of production.

Tighter control over every step, from material handling, layup, machining, and molding to cooling and finishing, delivers an unprecedented level of accuracy, particularly on the trailing edges. This controlled refinement minimizes hydrodynamic disturbances, reduces noise, improves glide, and contributes to the overall performance gains of the V3 Atmo range.

But the real breakthrough isn't just producing a beautiful part, it's producing the same beautiful part every time. Every wing leaves the factory with the same profile, the same fit, the same trailing edge, the same stiffness, and the same ride feel. In foiling, even a few tenths of a millimeter can affect ventilation, stall behavior, noise, speed, and stability.

Cleaner. Finer. Stiffer. More consistent. The V3 Atmo range represents a new era in the way we manufacture performance. From the Perf Series to the Team Series and Pro Team Series, every construction benefits from this new level of industrial precision.

Foil Tail Wing Ultra Trail V3 Atmo - Pro Team Series Carbon / S / Black

Buying guide

Who is it for?

The Ultra Trail V3 Atmo Pro Team Series Tail Wing is aimed exclusively at expert riders who have fully mastered long-distance pumping.

It is designed for riders capable of clean take-offs with very little rear foot pressure, maintaining a perfectly steady cadence and controlling their flight height with precision.

It is intended for competitors, endurance specialists and riders looking to break distance or duration records.

It is not suitable for riders looking for forgiveness, ease at low speed or a foil setup capable of compensating for cadence errors.

Why?

The Ultra Trail has been developed exclusively for long-distance pumping, extreme endurance and flat-water record attempts.

It maximises the distance covered with each pump and allows you to stay flying with a very long, slow and efficient cadence.

It is built for record attempts, long crossings and efforts where every gram of drag and every unnecessary movement penalise final performance.

Paired with the Ultra Trail Front Wing, it creates the glidiest and most radical pumping foil setup in the range.

It can also be paired with a Supra Trail Front Wing to increase efficiency even further, with a major reduction in support and forgiveness.

Avoid it if...

The Ultra Trail is not a progression Tail Wing. To learn or stabilise your technique, choose a Trail.

For slalom pumping and smooth direction changes, choose a Hyper Trail.

For long-distance riding with more margin, support and forgiveness, the Supra Trail will be far more accessible.

It is not suited to surf foiling, wing foiling, lowkite or any use that requires transitions, speed build-up at low speed or manoeuvrability.

Its use in downwind is still technically possible, but of limited relevance. It offers very little control during take-offs, slowdowns and line changes.

What size?

The choice depends mainly on the Front Wing, the rider’s weight and their ability to control very low rear foot pressure.

A large Ultra Trail keeps more presence at low speed and makes take-off and speed build-up slightly easier. It does, however, increase drag.

A smaller size reduces resistance even further and frees up the Front Wing more, but makes pitch and cadence extremely technical.

The smallest size only performs if the rider can stay high, stable and perfectly consistent for the entire duration of the effort.

A Tail Wing that is too small can require more corrections, cause a loss of height and ultimately increase the foil setup’s overall drag.

Choose the smallest size you can control without degrading your cadence or pitch. Be warned, it is already very small.

What setup?

The Ultra Trail is offered exclusively in Upper architecture.

It can be mounted on a Carbon Tail with its matching Upper wedge, or on an Upper Tail Shaft paired with an Upper Shim Tail.

It cannot be mounted on a Lower Tail Shaft or a Lower Shim Tail.

The reference setup uses a Medium Tail Shaft and a 0° Upper Shim Tail. It offers the best balance between efficiency, longitudinal stability and control.

The Long Tail Shaft is a particularly relevant option for extreme endurance and record attempts.

What does the 0° Shim Tail mean?

The 0° Shim Tail keeps the reference angle of incidence calculated for the Ultra Trail.

It does not mean that the Tail Wing is horizontal relative to the fuselage. Its native angle of incidence is directly built into its carbon base.

The + sign indicates that the Shim Tail raises the Tail Wing’s leading edge. Its angle of incidence decreases, which reduces rear lift and front foot pressure.

A negative number lowers the Tail Wing’s leading edge. Its angle of incidence increases, which adds lift, front foot pressure and drag.

0° is the best starting point before making any changes.

Which angle should you choose?

Start with a 0° Upper Shim Tail.

The -0.5° adds slightly more front foot pressure and support during take-off or speed loss. It does, however, reduce some of the absolute efficiency being sought.

More negative angles move strongly away from the Ultra Trail’s intended programme and cancel out part of the benefit of its minimalist profile.

The +1° frees up the Front Wing even more and reduces front foot pressure. This setting is extremely demanding and reserved for riders capable of maintaining perfect cadence and pitch.

The loosest setting only performs if you can exploit it for the entire duration of the effort.

What Tail Shaft length?

The Medium Tail Shaft is the Ultra Trail’s reference setup.

It offers the best compromise between longitudinal stability, pitch control and efficiency.

The Long Tail Shaft stabilises the foil setup more, smooths out height variations and allows for a slower, more progressive cadence. It is particularly well suited to very long distances and duration records.

The Short Tail Shaft reduces longitudinal stability and makes the foil setup extremely lively. It moves strongly away from the Ultra Trail’s intended programme and is not recommended.

Tail Shaft length also changes the Tail Wing’s position in the Front Wing’s flow. This effect exists, but remains secondary compared with the change in wheelbase.

Which Front Wing?

The Ultra Trail Front Wing is the reference pairing.

This combo maximises efficiency, speed retention and the distance covered between pumps. In return, it demands perfect technique and excellent physical condition.

With a Supra Trail Front Wing, the Ultra Trail Tail Wing reduces drag even further and makes the foil setup more radical. It allows you to chase more distance at the cost of a major drop in support and forgiveness.

With a Hyper Trail Front Wing, it turns the foil setup into a very glidy combo, but one that is not very consistent with the Hyper’s dynamic, manoeuvrable programme. This pairing remains reserved for a very specific efficiency goal.

It can technically work with other Front Wings, but its very low support and minimal manoeuvrability will always orient the foil setup towards straight-line pumping and pure performance.

Why is it so demanding?

The Ultra Trail removes almost everything that usually brings comfort at low speed: surface area, camber, support and forgiveness.

This reduction is precisely what lowers drag and makes it possible to reach extreme efficiency once the foil setup is up to speed.

The rider therefore has to generate all the flight stability themselves through cadence, pitch and height management.

The slightest mistake immediately results in a loss of speed that is difficult to recover. This demanding nature is the direct price of its absolute efficiency.

How should you progress with the settings?

Start with an Ultra Trail Front Wing, a Medium Tail Shaft, a 0° Shim Tail and a Tail Wing size that you control perfectly.

Test this setup for long enough to understand its very low front foot pressure, its natural cadence and its low-speed margin.

Then change only one parameter at a time between Tail Wing size, Tail Shaft length, Shim Tail and foil position in the boxes.

The Long Tail Shaft is often the first relevant step for long attempts, because it increases stability without changing the Tail Wing’s angle of incidence.

Above all, aim for perfectly clean pitch and a repeatable cadence. Any further drag reduction is only useful if it can be maintained for the entire duration of the effort.

Compatibility

The Ultra Trail Tail Wing is exclusively Upper.

It works with:

a compatible Carbon Tail and its matching Upper wedge;
a V3 Upper Tail Shaft and a V3 Upper Shim Tail;
a Micro V3 Atmo Upper Tail Shaft and a Micro V3 Atmo Upper Shim Tail.

V3 and Micro V3 Atmo Tail Shafts and Shim Tails are not interchangeable on the fuselage side.

The Tail Wing remains compatible with both diameters thanks to its standard fitting. You must use the Tail Shaft and Shim Tail suited to the fuselage diameter.

It cannot be mounted on a Lower Tail Shaft, a Lower Shim Tail or a Lower wedge.

This is the Tail Wing for experts who want to turn every pump into distance and every session into a record attempt.

This is the tail wing for highly experienced foilers who want to maximise their pumping performance

Equipments

The Tail Wing is supplied on its own, without mounting hardware.

The required screws are supplied with the Carbon Tail, the wedge or the Shim Tail used for the assembly.

Assembly on a Shim Tail Upper uses two M6 screws matched to the Tail Wing thickness.

The different Tail Wing thicknesses may require different screw lengths. Always use the hardware corresponding to the assembly in order to maintain sufficient thread engagement without bottoming out in the thread.

Stainless steel hardware suited to the repeated loads of foiling and marine use.

Simple top-mount assembly on the Tail Wing, with only two visible screws.

Standard GONG seat for precise, repeatable Tail Wing positioning.

Firm connection, rigid while foiling and easy to remove after the session.
