NEWS: NEW 2024 WINGS!

The new Plus, Droid and Neutra 2024 from the Perf Series collection are in stock!

 

The Perf Series is our collection in Dacron construction, affordable and durable, with our 5 reference models: Plus, SuperPower, Pulse, Droid and Neutra.

The “summer” models, the Superpower and the Pulse, renewed last March, notably with the introduction of the boom, remain in the Perf Series range and will be updated next spring to have a blast in the light wind and flat conditions of the 2024 summer.

Today we renew the Droid and the Neutra, for the stronger conditions coming in fall. These two wings designed for pumped up riders inherit from proven R&D on the UPE Limited Edition. We find on these two shapes the huge performance leap demonstrated in the World Championship, here in a more affordable construction and a more tolerant shape.

The Plus, on the other hand, had not been renewed for a year. So here it is more beautiful and more versatile than ever. It really is the ultimate “do it all” wing. If there was to be only one, it would be the Plus!!!

These 3 new models from the Perf Series benefit from remarkable innovations such as our modular 3-in-1 gripping system which allows you to set textile handles, rigid handles or a boom. It also displays important shape developments validated by our team riders. The tensions are perfect. The twist is fine-tuned for each program. The power / control couple is cleverly balanced… Nothing has been left to chance. These wings are the result of a year of work, hundreds of prototypes, tests in all directions, research on assemblies and components, in short, we are really very proud of them 😉

 

2024 Fall Line

The new Plus, Droid and Neutra incorporate the latest developments in shape, equipment, construction and assembly, which our Team Riders have validated with their fantastic performance in competition, including world titles across all disciplines, Race, Surf-Freestyle and Big Air.

Textile handles, rigid handles or a boom!

The Plus, Droid and Neutra of the Perf Series are equipped with our modular handle system with textile handles as standard for their tolerance, their lightness, their non-aggressive material and their affordable price.

A patented GONG innovation at the service of your sensations. Adapt your wing to your level, to your feelings, and even to the type of session you wanna have because nothing prevents you from mounting the rigid handles for freestyle, the boom for speed runs and the textile handles for freefly rides.

The new Plus

The Plus will make you progress faster than any wing. But it is much more than a beginner’s wing: it is the most versatile wing out there. On this version of the Plus the aspect ratio has been decreased and the cutouts have been totally reviewed. This is explained by :
  • A more torquey wing thanks to a draft shape, which pulls more when stationary and makes the most of every little gust. Take-off is really easy.
  • A reduced wingspan to facilitate pumping and limit the risk of touching the water during navigation.
  • A more manageable wing for smoother maneuvers
  • Tips that limit mistakes.
  • An all-new panel layout for total power control at low speeds and when overpowered.
Maximum comfort in navigation and endless possibilities.

The new Droid

The Droid is the freestyle wing par excellence: maximum compactness, impressive acceleration, lightness, extreme maneuverability and ON/OFF power. Qualities that made it a World Champion wing the hands of Clément in Surf/Freestyle.

Its shape is 100% new. Its very curved leading edge is inspired by the Neutra in an ultra-compact version. With a central strut only 5cm longer than a Neutra, we remove 25cm of wingspan on a Droid. The virtual elimination of the negative roach also makes it possible to maximize the surface area for a reduced wingspan.

Its new multi-axial canopy cutouts which take up forces at +/-45° in the canopy, in addition to the dynamic triple ripstop weave which takes up forces at 0/90°, optimize the tension of the entire profile. And the four large leech battens guarantee total efficiency of the Droid, even overpowered. The feeling in navigation is firm, precise, powerful, and as soon as you shock it goes to neutral, as a pure wave wing.

The new neutra

With a Surf-Freestyle World Champion title and a Big Air World Champion title, the Neutra is the best performing wing in the waves.

This new edition of the Neutra benefits from shape changes tested, proven and validated by our Pro Team, meeting their expectations and those of the most demanding riders.

Surfing is the name of the game with the Neutra thanks to its neutrality on demand, as its name suggests, which makes it the perfect wing for committed surfing, freeflying and even freestyle. Its ability to get off your mind when held by the downwind handle is fabulous for a fluid style.

The Neutra‘s very curved architecture centers its power for maximum maneuverability. It really does feel like it’s pivoting around a point just behind your front hand. It delivers precise and instinctive piloting.

Je “wingue” avec la Neutra UPE 5m² depuis 2 mois en méditerranée (donc mistral = rafales). Cette aile m’a fait passer un gros cap autant dans les vagues que dans les sauts. Auparavant, je passait 1 “tack” sur 50, maintenant, je n’en rate plus beaucoup. L’aile est puissante mais hyper stable et complètement neutre à la demande. Je tenais particulièrement à vous féliciter pour cette superbe réalisation! cette aile est un vrai régal!!
