TECH HIGHLIGHT: THE NEW FEATURES OF THE 2025 PERF SERIES WINGS

New features of the perf series 2025 wings: two key evolutions for more intuitive riding.

Our 2025 Perf Series wings represent a major advancement in the world of a sport that has now reached maturity. The 2024 models had already set a benchmark for versatility and performance, but the 2025 range takes the experience even further. This isn’t about simple adjustments or marginal differences: these are subtle but significant evolutions, precise and designed down to the smallest detail to meet the needs of both beginner and expert riders.

In a sport that has reached a certain level of maturity, the rules are clear, the programs well-defined, and the expectations specific. GONG responds to this demand with focused research and development aimed at refinement and precision, rather than drastic revolutions. The 2025 wings don’t redefine the concept—they perfect it. Each evolution is smooth, controlled, and sharp, with one clear goal: to offer riders the best possible feel on the water.

Performance is no longer the end goal, as it’s already been established over the past year or two. What matters now is going further in the enjoyment, making the wings more forgiving, comfortable, and intuitive, while maintaining and enhancing their performance range. On the water, the difference is immediate: smoother, more fluid navigation, but still dynamic and precise.

Among a series of details, two key evolutions define this progression:

A re-segmentation of the leading edge for more responsiveness and comfort.
The introduction of a 100% boom version: professional precision within everyone’s reach.

Redesigned leading edge segmentation for greater reactivity and comfort

The leading edge has undergone meticulous re-segmentation, as shown in the illustration below for a Droid, with 6 additional segments that completely transform the way the wings perform while navigating.

Increased reactivity: The wing is livelier, more agile, and responds instantly to your input, whether it's for quick transitions or precise maneuvers.

Perfect balance between rigidity and flexibility: A stiffer core ensures excellent power delivery and stability under all conditions.

Softer tips with reduced surface area: These allow the wing to breathe, providing more forgiveness and making the ride smoother and more intuitive.

Smoother feel in hand: The more fluid, rounded leading edge creates a lighter sensation in the grip, making each session more enjoyable, reducing fatigue, and improving comfort—even in challenging conditions. The impact of touch downs is minimized, and the wing glides smoothly over the water.

In short, this evolution doesn't just improve raw performance. It makes the wing incredibly pleasant to control, offering a complete sense of mastery.

The introduction of a 100% boom version: professional precision within reach of all

2025 introduces a major innovation for the Droid and Neutra models in the Perf Series range: a 100% boom version. This choice marks a turning point by bringing these wings closer to the high-end Team Series models, while making them more accessible.

Thanks to a smaller diameter strut accommodating a carbon boom:

Optimized rigidity: This delivers pro-level control precision.
Intuitive hand placement: Enhances comfort and responsiveness during maneuvers.
Forgiveness remains central to the experience: With softer Perf Series materials compared to the Team versions, designed for riders who want to progress without complexity or constraints.

This 100% boom version allows riders to access the ergonomics and sensations previously reserved for competition wings, but with flexibility and comfort designed primarily for enjoyment.

Also noteworthy is a new EVA coating on the boom, which now wraps around the front elbow of your boom (with a rubber bumper covering the screw hole) to protect your board from hard contacts.

Other notable developments:

Evolution of the Outline

In parallel with the re-segmentation work, the leading edge has been curved backward to reduce the surface area at the tips and to better center the wing's power. This results in a much lighter feel and accelerates rotation during maneuvers and tricks.

Reduced diameter of the central strut on wings with handles

The diameter of the central strut has been slightly reduced on the Plus, Droid, and Neutra models, which come standard with the modular GFS handles. While maintaining the necessary rigidity for precise wing control, this reduction significantly improves the flow of air through the area that concentrates most of your power, which is crucial for the wing's efficiency. Optimizing this was one of our key focuses for this new range.

New GFS System

In 2025, we are evolving our GFS system to make it even better. The new geometries of the supports and elbows bring significant improvements:

Still no play, but with firmer and more direct contact for better control of your wing.
The functional support of the boom now has five times the surface contact: increased rigidity.
150 grams lighter for a set of handles and a 40-gram reduction on the boom.
An even simpler and easier assembly, always with your Torx 30 foil key.
A unified, sleek, and technical look.

And everything is fully compatible with the GFS V1 system. Your current boom is fully adaptable to a 2025 wing without needing to purchase new parts. A 2025 boom will be fully compatible with 2023-2024 wings when using the handle support V2.

Developments on wings benefiting from mature design

In addition to the 2025 developments, the Perf Series wings for 2025 boast the qualities that have made them benchmarks on home spots:

Shapes recognized for their quality, with World Cup victories in programs that align with the practices we all love: speed, freestyle, waves, big air, and more.
GFS Handle modularity for Plus, Droid, and Neutra: All models not equipped with a "boom-only" central strut can be set up with:

Textile handles (soft* or semi-rigid)
Rigid carbon handles
Carbon boom for total control and precision

Inflatable Dacron Structure: Used for its durability, lightweight, and controlled flexibility, Dacron is perfectly suited for riders seeking progression with wings that are both high-performing and more forgiving.

Why Switch to the 2025 Range?

The 2025 range doesn’t revolutionize the concept of the wing, but it refines every detail with surgical precision. If you're already a fan of the 2024 models, the 2025 improvements will win you over with:

Smoother, more forgiving navigation, yet still highly performant.
New modular options and 100% boom versions, enhancing the experience without compromising simplicity.
Reworked ergonomics for longer, more enjoyable sessions.

By investing in a 2025 Perf Series wing, you're choosing an evolution designed to maximize your enjoyment on the water, regardless of your level.
