GEAR: CHOOSING A PLUS OR NEUTRA LOWKITE?

News
Lowkite

11 february 2025 0

Find the perfect single-skin model for your lowkite sessions.

If you want to ditch the paddle for a compact lowkite wing that folds up easily under your rashguard or in a bag, you’ve got two great choices in our lineup: the Plus and the Neutra. Both are single-skin lowkites designed to pair best with a high-volume board and a lifty foil, so you don’t need to oversize them.

Deciding between the lowkite Plus and Neutra comes down to experience. If you're already a skilled foiler and love exploring different boardsports, you can confidently start with the Neutra. Their intended uses are quite similar.

The Plus lowkite is a bit more locked in, more stable, and will therefore make the learning phase easier.
The Neutra lowkite, on the other hand, is more playful and offers a more precise, responsive feel.

Foiler: Patrice Guénolé, GONG boss and shaper, with a Cruzader Diamod FSP Pro, HM85 mast, Fluid CL foil and Neutra lowkite.

In other words:

The Plus is the basic lowkite. Not ‘basic’ in a lesser sense, but because it’s designed to do everything well. With this lowkite, you’re not chasing peak performance in one area—you’re looking for versatility. Just like the Plus in wing foiling, the Plus lowkite is a straightforward but well-thought-out wing, holding its own or even outperforming many similar models. So yes, it’s stable, tracks upwind well, works great underpowered, is easy to use, delivers solid power in a compact design, and stays nice and light.
The Neutra sticks to the same philosophy but leans more towards maneuverability. Its compact, rounded tips make it great for carving, while the Plus favors a more stable, locked-in ride. The Neutra is playful and offers sharper, more responsive control.

These two lowkites aren’t worlds apart—they share a lot in common, just like the Plus and Neutra in wing foiling: both are designed for winging, but each delivers a distinct feel that favors different riding styles.

In this Tech Talk, Patrice Guénolé, GONG’s boss and shaper, dives into the evolution of this new sport and the gear that will help you get the most out of it.
