GEAR: NEW COLOR CHOICES FOR YOUR BOOM OR RIGID HANDLES

Sky blue and black now complement green in your choice of color for your rigid handles or boom that you can mount to our Perfs Series wings!

Thanks to the GONG Fastening System fitted to all our latest Plus, Droid and Neutra wings, you can upgrade your wing according to your uses or your preferences. You can now go from textile handles, by default on Perf Series wings, to rigid carbon handles or to our carbon boom. Replacing the handles is super easy. Simply loosen two screws from the US nuts on the handle: the same as those on your foil!

Choosing Your Handles:

The base of the handle attachment, which perfectly fits your central strut, already provides much more firmness, rigidity, and thus control when your wing is set up with textile handles. However, with our system and this triple solution of textile handles / rigid handles / boom, you can vary the entire dynamic of the wing.

  • Textile Handles

More rigid than those on the 2024 V1 wings, they offer a very soft and more secure feeling. You feel much less "pulled" because the strut can absorb the gusts. In case of a fall or impact, textile handles are much less aggressive than a boom. They have the advantage of being light and less cumbersome. We recommend beginners prioritize textile handles to protect their board and their teeth 😉. The same goes for when you attempt your first backflips and end up lying on the strut!

  • Rigid Handles

These provide an incredibly direct feeling and make the wing much more precise, taking you to another level of performance. The responsiveness is impressive, and the wing seems to be able to accelerate infinitely. You have a direct connection with the wing, responding in a split second. On the other hand, the wing will be more technically demanding. They are the exact compromise between a boom and textile handles, offering power and tolerance in the profile. Additionally, they are less cumbersome than the boom.

  • The boom

This is the ultimate handle for entering the world of performance. It absorbs a large portion of the bending forces exerted on the central strut: the wing is very rigid, maintaining its tension and reducing sagging. It locks the profile. The power gain is maximal, and the wing's maneuverability is facilitated by the ample gripping length available on the boom. It opens up new freestyle possibilities for you! backloop spins and backmobs are all yours!

It is also the lightest handle system of our rigid systems. In fact, we save two elbows which reduce the weight by 200g. A difference that is felt as soon as you take control of a wing mounted with a Boom. We win on all fronts: lightness, navigation comfort and precision.

The forward bends of the rigid handle and the boom have an ergonomic angle that eases long runs and provides an ideal pistol grip for DW/freefly and surfing. This way, you maintain a base level of power that you can modulate as needed, eliminating potential flaps that slow you down. Very practical when you know how to use it well.

Handles/booms are not just different gripping styles: they are performance elements that you can adjust with GONG! This way, the profile is even more effective in responding to your desires.

   

 

A simple and solid system

The handles are fixed with two screws on US nuts: the same as those of your foil! This allows you to switch from the new rigid handles to our new soft handles or boom with 3 turns of tightening key!


A real game changer at the service of your preferences.

Bonjour,
inconditionnel du boom que je suis (ancien windsurfer et kiteu) , j’utile une wing 5m à boom d’une autre marque.
La longueur du boom pose problème lors d’un voyage. En effet je voyage avec une hipe, le boom dépasse de son sac.
Auriez vous l’intention d’étudier un boom en 2 parties ? comme cela existe chez une marque italienne.
Je possède une Neutra 4m 2023 poignée souple, j’envisage un changement pour une avec boom.
Merci pour votre réponse
