GEAR: THE PERF SERIES WINGS ARE GETTING A SOLID UPGRADE!
- News
- Wing
The Perf Series wings benefit from the proven evolutions of the Team Series wings, undergoing a complete renewal!
Shape, look, and equipment upgrades renew our Perf Series wings in Dacron construction. As promised, they inherit the advancements validated by the performance of our Team Series wings. This is the principle of our range: cutting-edge Team Series wings in constant evolution and Perf Series wings upgraded to match these advancements as soon as the cumulative progress justifies it.
This evolution of the Perf Series range marks a phenomenal performance gain and astonishing comfort at any skill level. You get wings capable of unprecedented performance in such a construction:
- The Plus features a new shape that promotes ease, lightness, and versatility with more low-end torque and great tolerance in gusts.
- The SuperPower DP and Pulse DP move to a 30% double profile, offering significant improvements in glide, acceleration, and stability.
- The Droid and Neutra fully adopt the shape evolutions of the ultra-high-performance Droid and Neutra in UPE Aramid, with the added modularity of the interchangeable handle system, just like the Plus.

Innovating with a 30% double profile on the SuperPower and Pulse
This GONG innovation has revolutionized freeracing and racing in wing foiling by providing exceptional glide. The strong low pressure usually found in the intrados is smoothed out, resulting in very clean laminar flows. Depending on the program, we adjust the coverage of the double profile on the original profile. The greater the coverage, the more glide is gained and the less power is produced. At 100%, a classic wing would be unrecognizable for example.
On the Pulse DP Team Series, we aim for maximum endurance at very high speeds, so it has a 50% double profile.
However, on the SuperPower and Pulse Perf Series, we want to maintain more power for easy takeoff in very light wind and strong relaunches. Therefore, these two wings from the Perf Series range are equipped with only a 30% double profile.
The maneuvers and overall feel are similar to a classic wing, but with much more glide, acceleration, and stability. It is very close to a racing sail in windsurfing. Full tilt speed runs are a delight on such a wing.

A new downwind handle on all the wings
Among the evolutions inherited from the Team Series wings, the Perf Series collection features our new semi-rigid downwind handle which significantly improves the piloting of the wing in freeflying and surfing.
The new oval seams and reinforcements on the downwind handle anchors better distribute the forces on the leading edge, enhancing durability.
The dyneema leash attachment is now on the lower side of the DW handle. The leash is no longer caught in the hands when freeflying.

New semi-rigid handles on the Plus, Droid and Neutra
Among the many areas of development on the new Perf Series wings, we have optimized the textile handles. The two textile batten handles and the one on the leading edge are highly stiffened.
Two new longitudinal seams provide total cohesion of PVC, EVA and nylon. Zero twist and we really gain more rigidity and therefore more precision and responsiveness in maneuvers.
The feeling is totally different from the previous textile handles which we now describe as soft. With the new handles, the performance is close to the rigid carbon handles, but they are lighter, protective, minimalist and therefore easier to transport.

New shapes
- The Plus
This new Plus returns with more torque to give you an early takeoff, thanks in part to a slightly thinner central strut that promotes airflow over this critical area for the wing's performance. The tips are also thinner to offer more tolerance in overpowered conditions.
An even lighter wing that allows you to comfortably enjoy long sessions and easily perform maneuvers. You will always benefit from a reassuring view thanks to its five perfectly placed windows to prevent surprises downwind.
A wing that remains just as comfortable and versatile, effective across a very wide range of conditions, and significantly gains in performance thanks to a shape evolution inspired by the Team Series wings.
Wing foilers: Mélissa, Jules, and Julien, using Plus wings, Mint FSP 2X, and HIPE.
The SuperPower DP, the ultimate reference in light wind conditions for its power and ultra-reduced wingspan, now comes in this new edition equipped with a 100% carbon boom and a double profile!
Decidedly freerace, it follows the trend of high-glide planing boards. Thinner and with a higher ratio, the new SP has inherited a touch of madness from the Droïd.
The improved glide on the new boards and foils requires less brute force and more rhythm and liveliness. This is exactly the new formula of the SuperPower: lively and rhythmic.

- The Pulse DP
The Pulse DP is an extremely rigid wing, with a well-defined draft and dynamic twist, acting like a true racing sail. You can achieve high speeds effortlessly, similar to a cambered windsurf sail, and you truly feel the glide on long reaches.
The double profile is revolutionary. At 30% coverage on this Perf series version, this GONG innovation provides incredible glide without changing your riding habits, although a harness is clearly no longer optional.
In hand, the Pulse feels like a blade. Its low dihedral gives it a very stable and smooth behavior, allowing for strong acceleration without being overwhelmed, and the responsiveness is absolutely fantastic.

The new Droid incorporates all the design elements that made the Droid UPE Aramid the essential wing for Surf-Freestyle enthusiasts, except for its reduced diameter Boom-only-Strut, replaced with an interchangeable handle system.
Like the Team Series edition, the Droid Perf Series is a compact, powerful, and ultra-maneuverable wing. It has all the qualities for freestyle and aerial practice while also excelling in waveriding and freerace thanks to its incredible glide. In freestyle, it maneuvers effortlessly in transitions and rotations. Its power in jumps lifts you higher and farther than ever before.

The new Neutra adopts all the shaping elements that have made the UPE Aramid Neutra the reference in wave riding, except for its reduced-diameter Boom-only-Strut, in favor of the interchangeable handle system.
This new Neutra is even more geared towards a pure wave riding program with stability, tolerance, and agility. A wing that has never been so neutral in surfing thanks to reduced sections. It can be piloted with fingertips and delivers the torque you need for relaunching and for sending it on the kickers ahead of you. Always with the excellent rotation capacity that characterizes it.

Bonjour, ces nouvelles wing ont l’air top, petite remarque toute fois, il me semble qu’il n’y a toujours de patch neoprene au niveau de la poignée de downwind, c’est dommage pour le freefly. personnellement mes sorties sont axées exclusivement sur cette pratique, sans protection au niveau de la poignée ça devient très contraignant…..
Pour le reste je valide à 100%!!!
Hi, Gong!
We are waiting for yellow-orange-red wings 😀
