Technos Wing ARAMID CZ

UPE ARAMID CZ Technology

The UPE Aramid CZ wings feature the most advanced technology on the leading edge and the strut, along with the exceptional rigidity of its Code Zero canopy fabric.

The UPE Aramid, a true gem of textile technology developed by experts in nautical textiles.

How does it work?

The PET film ensures the connection between the elements and waterproofing.
The Aramid fibers are arranged at a chosen angle to block the fabric’s extension under load without unnecessarily adding weight to the structure.
The thin layer of UPE, lighter than on UPE 200, ensures strength. This tight weave of Dyneema fibers is a veritable shield.

These three laminated layers create a fabric that is both extremely lightweight, highly rigid, and very resistant to tearing.

Our exclusive assembly, tested in the laboratory and by the Pro Team, ensures unparalleled longevity for UPE Aramid.

The whole system is so rigid that 8 PSI gives you the rigidity of a UPE 200 at 15 PSI. It’s truly deformation-resistant.

Less pressure = less stress in the wing = less time spent pumping.

More durability, performance, and lightness: the holy grail.

UPE Aramid

The UPE Aramid is the lightest and stiffest material on the market. The sensations in hand are simply astonishing. The wing is both one of the stiffest and one of the lightest on the market, providing an entirely new sailing experience, all at an amazing price. It’s simply incredible and perfectly in line with our commitment to offering the best to as many people as possible.

At 85g/m2 (2 times less than Dacron!), this UPE Aramid present on the leading edge and the central batten ensures, in addition to a considerable weight savings (400g on a 5m2), an unparalleled gain in stiffness and reactivity. It’s simple: the wing no longer bends! We control its twisting through the Aramid axis and the design of the shape. Thus, deformations are no longer present.

In addition to its exceptional mechanical properties, this material also has a very low absorption rate. The wing gains very little weight when wet.

Obviously, a superb material without perfect assembly is worthless, and we have worked in infinite detail to ensure the reliability of the technical solutions for its implementation. For this, we have tested all known assemblies on traction machines and innovated with new and exclusive assembly methods at GONG to surpass the standards. Our wings have never been so robust.

Better than gold !!!

Spi Code Zero

Le code Zero est notre tissu de canopy le plus rigide jamais utilisé. Ses caractéristiques mécaniques sont tout simplement au-dessus de tout ce qui se fait sur le marché. C’est un matériau spécifique qui a été conçu pour répondre aux spis classiques trop élastiques.

Grâce à sa structure en X-Ply qui lui donne cette rigidité incroyable, il en résulte une wing hyper raide qui vous renverra toute la puissance pour performer au plus haut niveau.

Sur l’eau ça se traduit par des accélérations fulgurantes qui vous envoient à mach 12 en un éclair et vraiment très haut dans les sauts. Ceux qui recherchent la pure performance y verront le graal.

A 75gr/m2, le Code Zero est plus léger que le Code X pour une rigidité et une résistance du plus haut niveau. C’est un tout autre feeling avec un tissu qui ne bouge pas, à l’instar d’une voile de windsurf, mais avec la légèreté d’une aile de wing. C’est ultra puissant.

GFS V2 System Boom

The geometries of the handle support and elbows of the GFS V2 system introduced in 2025 bring notable improvements:

Less play, with a firmer, more direct contact for better control of your wing
150 grams lighter for a set of handles and 40 grams saved on a boom
Zero rotation of assembled parts for zero wear
Assembly remains just as simple and easy with your Torx 30 foil key

A solution perfectly compatible with your textile handles, rigid handles, or boom in the GFS V1 system. You simply need to mount them on the V2 handle support of your new wing: learn more about the backward compatibility of the GFS V1 and V2 systems.

Boom with prepreg carbon

The boom with prepreg carbon applied in 4 directions enjoys the most high-end construction on the market to allow optimal rigidity with very low weight. Its oval shape offers an ideal grip which prevents fatigue, reduces the overall diameter of the boom, and increases rigidity. It is also covered with embossed EVA for perfect grip and comfort.

The fixing parts of the boom are designed to cancel out any play and to be completely removable, therefore scalable but above all extremely durable. We made the choice not to use sewn soft plastic whose lifespan is quite poor in the marine environment, under heavy loads and because of UV exposure. We have therefore chosen to make our fixing parts in a rigid plastic heavily loaded with fiberglass to offer them a longer life than those of soft handles.

The boom is screwed onto webbing reinforcements that go around the central batten to distribute the forces over its entire circumference. This system has already proven itself for many years on our wings with soft handles. The assembly sandwiches the strap for maximum strength and does not allow any twisting.

And the ultimate trick: the screwing nut is a standard nut for US foil box. A smart choice to never find yourself helpless 😉
The boom has an ideal opening angle for your wrist and for a pistol grip which allows you to have a new way of gripping the wing which can be extremely useful in maneuvers, in freeflying or simply on land.

In order to protect the wing from rigid parts, we use Kevlar reinforcements, very expensive materials but which offer incomparable abrasion resistance.

Our freefly handle has been redesigned to provide more control during your extended surfs or during the most committed surf maneuvers. It’s the small details that make all the difference.

Rigidity

The structure of our wings is composed of a leading edge and a central strut which form a rigid skeleton when the internal TPU bladders are inflated.

The rigidity of the structure is ensured by bladders in the leading edge and in the central batten. Our bladders are made of 80 microns thick TPU for added strength. The tubes themselves and all the accessories are heat-sealed to withstand significant pressures.

2025 : A special reinforcement is added to the strut to handle the new stresses induced by the use of a boom. Proven by our riders in the toughest conditions, our new reinforced bladders will go with you everywhere and last long.

And of course, we keep all spare parts in stock for repairs if necessary.

The structure is made up of two independent bladders: one for the leading edge and one for the batten. Connected by the One Pump system, you can inflate them simultaneously thanks to the valve on the leading edge. The One Pump clip separates the airflow between the two bladders at the end of inflation. You thus benefit from a double chamber of safety when sailing and an ease of replacement if necessary.

Structure

To reinforce the rigidity of the structure, we worked on the longitudinal and volumetric dimensions of the sections of leading edge. In the center, the sections are reduced and with a large diameter, the closer you get to the tips, the thinner the leading edge becomes to reinforce the rigidity of the arc of the wing.

Being the control area of the wing, the central strut has also undergone major transformations to stiffen the structure of the wing. The assembly technology for the strut is the same as the one used for the leading edge, with specially reinforced seams to ensure material hold in all conditions.

Our expectations are clear: a very rigid, resistant and light structure.

Spinnaker fabric

We dress the structure of the wing with a woven textured canopy to stiffen and reinforce it. A mesh will stop tears to prevent them from spreading. But it will also lock in the fabric's deformations to ensure the stability of the shape while sailing.

This fabric is coated with a protective layer that forms a near impermeable barrier to air and protects it from the sun and humidity so that it lasts as long as possible. This surface treatment also has a water-repellent effect to repel water on the spinnaker instantly and lighten the wing when sailing.

Reinforcements

Wing foiling is an extreme sport. The equipment has to cope with harsh conditions and this requires the integration of reinforcements.

The stitches subject to these heavy loads have been reinforced by the addition of a strap at the seam. Collages, specific stitches, multiple layers for example.
The stitches of the leading edge and of the strut are lined with a thick and robust Nylon layer.

The leash attachment point on the leading edge is even more reinforced than the bridle anchors on a kite. It’s super strong and it’s essential because a break there would cause the wing to explode.

Assembly

The panels are cut using a numerical control. Accuracy is absolute to guarantee you a shape that is 100% compliant with our 3D design.

The assembly of the panels is achieved by a succession of sometimes very complex seams. Indeed, while the flat seams in the canopy remain simple, other assemblies such as the batten for example must be sewn using specific techniques, to withstand the constraints of this new sport.

The canopy is an assembly of spinnaker panels that define the profile of the wing with cutouts precisely defined in design on the 3D software SurfPlan. These cutouts are necessary to create a 3D shape from a “flat” fabric, but they also serve to stiffen the canopy in the directions where the efforts are the greatest. Our huge laser cutting table combines precision and pace in order to obtain a result that meets our requirements.

The shape evolves considerably from one model to another depending on the wing program: ease of use, range of use, dynamism, reactivity, performance… And it is our R&D center made up of engineers, 3-D designers, our shaper and GONG team riders, who are responsible for developing the best solutions for your uses.
