The new range of high aspect foils and the new V3 fuselage raises a lot of questions to which Patrice, GONG boss & shaper, answers you in person.

Proximity and direct relationship with our users is in our DNA. We put in place numerous channels so that interaction is quick and clear: online chat, technical advice by email and phone, ultra-detailed product sheets and daily news in our magazine such as recently this tech talk on our new high aspect foils.

On this subject, there were many questions on another channel that links us together, that of our Facebook group GONG Galaxy. Patrice offers clarification on these new V3 foils. Below, a melting pot of the best question-and-answer exchanges between you and our Boss & Shaper.

Wing foiler: Patrice, GONG Boss and Shaper, with a V3 Fluid H, stab H, fuselage and mast HM, plus a Neutra UPE Aramid X and a Stunt FSP Pro.

New high aspect front wings

GONG user: What about a Fluid XL-H V3 to replace a Curve XL-H? I like the Curve XL-H for its low end and the fact that it never stalls. So for light conditions it's great. But something is missing a little in glide.

Patrice: The Fluid H V3 will be largely as comfy at low speed as the Curve H V2. The gain with our new profiles is considerable. With the Fluid H V3 you will have a livelier and faster foil. Note that you could also go down a size.

GONG user: Why upgrade to Veloce H V3 when you have V2?

Patrice: The glide is crazy and it takes off super early. 40% better than the Veloce H V2 on all counts, that’s huge.

HM Mast

GONG user: Is there an improvement on the new HM V3 mast compared to the HM V2? And in particular, is there a difference between the HM 85 V2 mast and the HM 85 V3 in its 15 cm thickness version?

Patrice: The difference is significant at equal thickness, the profile is different, the outline is different, the morphing is different and the top plate is different.

Alu mast

GONG user: Hello, I haven't understood yet. Will there be a V3 aluminum mast?

Patrice: The part between the aluminum mast and the fuselage (editor's note: Mast Fuselage Connector) exists in V2 and V3. Quite simply.

Evolution of the fuselage

GONG user: Will GONG liquidate all V2 front wings and stabs and only offer V3 foils and stabs? Or will the “old V2 models” still be made in the future?

Patrice: To be super transparent: we make the same profits on V2 and V3 foils.
The molds for the V2 being amortized, we can now offer you an attractive discount on these foils.
You are therefore 100% free to choose.
If you want V2s, we make V2s.
If you prefer V3s, we make V3s.
Please note that we still have spare parts for the V1 in stock.
I don't want our users who bought a foil 5 years ago to feel shortchanged.
So, I always offer all solutions as long as I can.
