Florent chooses the HIPE Cruzader as his light-wind board and shares his feedback with us!

Wing foiler: David, GONG staff, on a HIPE Cruzader 7’0, Droid Aramid, HM mast, and Fluid front wing and stab.

A board for light wind

"An incredible board! I had a 2024 Diamond 5’10 (great with my 78 kg) but I wanted one board for light wind and another for everything else (I went for a Lethal 5’3). So I got the HIPE Cruzader 6’6. Sure, it’s not wide, but stable enough for very light wind (and it forces me to engage my core strength!)."

Incredible lightness of the 2025 HIPE

"A great start because it glides well on the water. In the air, it practically disappears, cutting through the air as well as the water. I was just surprised at first to have to move the foil further forward on the Cruzader compared to the Diamond or the Lethal. Still a huge fan of GONG inflatable boards, and the lightness of the 2025 models… incredible!"
