FEEDBACK: GONG WING SUPERPOWER 9M !!!

Building up a Quiver of Wings will allow you to sail in a variety of conditions. To sail in the light wind, Nicolas had already equipped himself with the 6m Superpower. To gain a few more knots, he recently added a 9m Superpower to his Quiver. And the result was up to his expectations:

“First a short feedback of the 9m Superpower freshly recovered from the shop yesterday afternoon! So I arrive at home a small  and soft 5/8 knots  in the entrance of the port. I say to myself that it is the occasion or never to test… And I was a little burnt after  2h30 of riding in the morning in La Baule but the temptation was too big.

I unpack, and the beast is already imposing itself. Next to the 6m Superpower makes me think of a Wing for dwarves! From the top of my 1m76, I tell myself that it could be problematic at takeoff, I doubt.

I inflate and I put myself in the water with the Lemon 5’0, XXL Curve, and go. I notice the incoming gentle breeze, I pump it and in the phase where I pull the Wing towards me I find that nothing happening. Strange. But 1/4 of second later I feel in my arm a kind of spring effect that makes me lighten the Board, reboot and bang with the 2nd spring effect I’m in the air, mind-blowing. A 100m tack and it’s already time to turn, I switch the feet and the Wing turns quietly as easy as the 6m and it’s gone in the other direction.

30 minutes later after many flights the test is conclusive. Super Wing which will save me a lot of sessions in marginal conditions, a very good surprise. I was a little bit doubtful about the gain of low range compared to my 6Superpower. As promised I win the 3/4 knots which are often missing and make the difference between staying on the beach and having a good time!
Thanks GONG and Patrice Guénolé !”
