From promise to performance… Let’s look back at the revolution of the V3 foils.

After two intense years of R&D and a first season of undeniable success, the V3 foil range has now established itself as a true benchmark in the foil world.

Praised by riders of all levels and by our Pro Team, it has reached such a level of technical maturity that it’s become a cornerstone of GONG’s foil lineup. Built to last, to make you perform, and to accompany you for a long time on the water, across all your riding programs.

Victories in Wave, Surf-Freestyle, and Freefly-Slalom

In a sport where performance is closely linked to equipment, the V3 foils demonstrated their phenomenal potential in competition. Speed, glide, pop, and maneuverability, everything that gives a pro rider confidence was brought to the forefront. A perfect symbiosis between our riders and their gear, leading to countless wing foiling achievements:

Victory in Wave in Brazil for Malo Guénolé with his new FW Fluid V3 / Stab Ypra Surf-Freestyle setup
Freefly-Slalom victories in Leucate and Fuerteventura for Francesco Capuzzo with his FW Ypra Race micro-V3 / Stab Ypra Race micro-V3 setup
Surf-Freestyle victories in Tarifa and Gran Canaria for Benjamin Castenskiold with his FW Ypra Freestyle V3 / Stab Ypra Freestyle V3 setup

V3 foils now boasting several world championship titles, the latest of which was won by Benjamin, who underscored the importance of the equipment in his title quest:

“I feel like gear is the most important thing that a rider can have. You have to have the right gear for the right conditions. And that’s what you need to have to win. Honestly, I think I won this year because of the gear (...) If you don’t have the right gear you’re not gonna get to the top.”
