Out of this world pumping on the Sirus!
Introduction
The ultimate wing for pumping.
Its super slender outline with its very thin tips generate a record glide. The potential of this wing almost feels intimidating when mounting it on your foil. The limit as you know it is over.
Starting from a dock, you feel the extreme lift of the Sirus as soon as you put your feet on the board. It’s the first feeling. The very next feeling is its amazing glide!!! The glide of a Veloce but from low speeds on.
The lift of its profile is mind-boggling. Firstly because it was designed for the speed range of pumping. Then because a huge aspect ratio produces a glide which in itself translates to a powerful lift.
The Sirus can generate lift at an extremely low speed: A tiny wave or just a few energetic paddle strokes can make you take off. A very small impulse makes the foil plane very far. The flight time in a single session is increased tenfold.
Obviously the endurance is amazing. You can go for miles on end and still feel in the comfort zone!!!
But the most impressive thing is the stiffness and maneuverability of this front wing. Nothing twists, it’s as stiff as it gets. So every single intention of the rider is converted into action. No parasitic movements or latencies: it’s lively and fast.
So when you grab your paddle and put this Sirus under a DW board like the Cruzader: you enter a new world of possibilities.
First because only a few attempts with the 186 are enough to take off. A few more attempts to get the position of your feet right and then start pumping… and there you’ll lose your mind: you can now pump facing the swell, spot a swell line in the distance, go for it and catch it in front of the peak and just cruise around in a great silence.
The new size with a wingspan of 249 cm steals the world record from its “little” sister of 186 cm! One would assume that given its wingspan, it starts to push water, making the flight less efficient, but this isn’t the case at all. You can even get going only by paddling! It’s incredible. This giant wing lifts and glides like no other. Not to mention that our exclusive technology delivers unparalleled stiffness over the entire wingspan for stratospheric performance! Obviously, you won’t be surfing or making tight turns with it, but you can easily take off with a SUP foiling board on days that are totally flat and cover insane distances with ease!
- You’re free to challenge your cardio on the flat.
- You’re free to tease your friends about who will reach that buoy in the distance and come back the fastest.
- You’re free to get into racing mode on flat water with your 3 best rivals to finally find out who’s the real badass of the gang!!!
It all becomes possible when you are a human flying on your own energy!!!
This sentence was a dream: you can make it your reality.

Ratio
The Sirus is the go-to wing for pumping. With its innovative and ambitious shape, it offers unprecedented efficiency to access out of this world performance.
The hugely buoyant profile gets you off the ground at low speed. In SUP foiling you feel that it wants to take off from the first few paddle strokes! Once in flight, the glide is incredible: the wing seems to glide endlessly, pumping becomes almost easy!
The aspect ratio
The Sirus range is designed with an aspect ratio that varies from one size to the other to best adapt to all body size and desired program. From 9.3 to 15, the aspect ratio increases for each wingspan. But they are all high aspect ratio wings that offer incomparable glide because it is a crucial point for pumping and surfing small waves.
The Sirus L with its 116cm wingspan and 9.3 aspect ratio develops an impressive rail to rail game for its size. It is perfect in pumping for a small energetic rider who wants to be able to carve or for a bigger rider in surf foiling or SUP foiling.
The Sirus 3XL shows impressive dimensions, with its 186cm wingspan and an aspect ratio of 15 the performance is amazing, as well as the glide and lift. But the most impressive thing is surely the maneuverability, quite manageable for such dimensions. These qualities make it a pumping machine: very small impulses allow the foil to plane very far, it’s just amazing, but you can also have fun taking off on the flat with a Cruzader for example ?
The Sirus 5XL with its 249cm wingspan and 20.1 aspect ratio offers an unprecedented lift/drag ratio: you can keep flying only with paddle strokes. Taking off on the flat has never been so easy, neither have distance records!
Outline
The outline of the Sirus is paradoxically designed to maximize its rail to rail so as not to penalize its control and maneuverability given its giant wingspan. The leading edge is rounded like a Fluid and the trailing edge has an inverted omega shape. This allows a precise distribution of the outline surface. The lift is very centered in the wing, carrying your weight, and the very thin tips allow you to glide far without locking the rail to rail of this front wing. With a load-bearing core and movable tips, the whole set remains very manageable and therefore develops an impressive maneuverability for a wing of this size.
Thickness of the profile
Relatively thick profile on the central two-thirds of the wing, and even very thick compared to its chord. It is very buoyant even at low speed to facilitate departures in dockstart or SUP foiling.
The type of profile
The profile is supercritical with a pronounced hollow on the back end of the lower surface. This boosts the lift while giving an incredible glide and allows you to move at an impressive average speed for this program.
Camber
The camber is relatively low and follows a slight negative curve (downward) in its center and goes almost horizontal towards the tips. The wing feels super healthy and predictable. It’s stable in the water and the flat tips allow you to go in shallow depths. This shape allows you to concentrate all your energy in pumping rather than in constant micro adjustments.

Buying guide
For whom?
It’s a front wing for riders of a good level who want to fly no matter what.
On the flat, it’s demanding on the cardio and relatively technical, but you quickly get the hang of it and progress physically. And frankly, it feels really good! You’re having a blast and you get in shape on a magnificent and original piece of equipment: what more could you ask for?
In short, you need a good technical background to take full advantage of this front wing, but it remains accessible. The small sizes are obviously easier to manage than the very large ones which will be more locked. But to fly on the flat you will need a giant front wing.
For what?
These wings are specially designed to take off before all the others and glide longer.
Perfect for pumping, fast without requiring a lot of energy, the possibilities are endless on this front wing. It covers ranges of use which no other foil set-up did until now. This is the wing that puts your practice of short distance racing with your friends on hold. Ok, no one is stopping you from continuing, we love it too. But three friends, each with their Cruz and their Sirus, will be able to challenge each other like never before in a standing start race.
In detail for each sport:
- In surf foiling, you must have a very good level to tame this technical wing. It is surprisingly simple to take off with but it requires a good technical background to maneuver in curves because of its giant wingspan. It likes soft waves to cruise like on a retro longboard. So avoid hollow sections. Typically, you can have fun in front of the peak and connect waves on end and draw lines without disturbing anyone.
- In SUP foiling: GAME CHANGER alert. You can take off on the flat with only a few paddle strokes. Imagine the possibilities: it’s mind-boggling ? Not to mention that the combination of fine tips that dive into the curve without locking the wing flat and the paddle that allows you to offset your center of balance, make for a maneuverable front wing despite its very large wingspan. In the sizes 116 and 136, it is very maneuverable for these wingspans.
- In downwinds, you break the game of soft conditions. The lift is unstoppable and it flies forever.
- In wing foiling, the small sizes are fantastic for taking off in no wind. And paired with a Cruzader, you’ll pulverize your low range. It’s just amazing how early it flies. And the speed remains top-ranked.
What size ?
The Sirus wings in sizes L, XL, XXL, 3XL, 5XL are aimed at all body sizes because as the saying goes he who can do more can do less. A big rider will find himself light, and a light rider will set new personal records.
The L has a wingspan of 116 cm, 1450 cm², 2.2 cm thick for a volume of 1.74L.
- For dock starts, it is a relatively technical wing, very buoyant and easy to handle, which allows you to send beautiful curves.
- In surf foiling, it allows riders of average size to go on small waves and connect the waves without running out of steam. It will also be suitable for small builds into endless flights and pumping.
- In wing foiling, it takes off super early and works really well in light wind conditions.
The XL has a wingspan of 136 cm, 1700 cm², 2.3 cm thick for a volume of 2.13L.
- For dock starts, it is a very stable wing which allows you to perform beautiful turns thanks to its very thin tips which do not lock the front wing.
- In surf foiling, it is aimed at bigger surfers who want a wing that takes off more easily than a classic shape and that maintains pumping with a minimum of effort.
- In wing foiling you’re the first one to take off!!!
The XXL has a wingspan of 156 cm, 1950 cm², 2.3 cm thick for a volume of 2.44L.
- For dock starts, it is a super stable wing that allows you to cover long distances without effort.
- Surf foiling is off-topic with this size. It’s too big.
- In SUP foiling, it allows small riders to take off on the flat or big riders to take off well before the wave breaks.
- In wing foiling, it is very big, but the most effective to take off in super light conditions.
The 3XL has a wingspan of 186 cm, 2300 cm², 2.3 cm thick for a volume of 2.91L.
- For dock starts, it is a giant wing which is suitable for big riders and which is dedicated to easy pumping. You can weigh over 100 kg and achieve great distances with it.
- Surf foiling is off-topic with this size. It’s too big.
- In SUP foiling, it will even allow the biggest foilers to take off on the flat with a Cruzader. Mind-boggling!
- In wing foiling, it can fly in no air, you lose maneuverability but the low end is totally crazy! So it’s intended for bigger foilers with a good level to cope with the maneuvers.
The 5XL has a wingspan of 249cm, a surface area of 3100 cm2, it’s 2.5 cm thick for a volume of 4.11L.
- For dockstarts, it’s reserved for big foilers with a decent skill set to manage the rail to rail.
- In surf foiling, it’s to forget, it’s too big.
- In SUP foiling, taking off just by paddling is ultra efficient, but what is really insolent is that you can keep flying just with paddle strokes: you don’t even need to pump!
Generally speaking, a bigger front wing will be used in the low range use or in soft conditions. And conversely a smaller wing in solid conditions. What you need to remember is that the choice of your wing depends on your size, which requires lift, and your average speed, which generates lift.
Which Mast?
Given the specific constraints the exceptionally large wingspans of the biggest sizes of the Sirus have to deal with, we have developed specific HM masts, but also a titanium fuselage. This equipment is designed to be able to withstand the significant efforts implied by the use of this type of wings.
An aluminum mast would only allow you to extract 20% out of the insane potential of these front wings. The general behavior of the foil would be seriously affected, giving you an extremely fuzzy feel and making pumping less precise. It is for these reasons that we do not recommend the use of aluminum masts or monobloc carbon masts, not designed to withstand such constraints, the risk of breakage is real.
The mast must be as rigid as possible, without compromise, meaning the HM mast is essential, and ideally the HM in size 72 which is dedicated to giant wings and dockstarts.
Which quiver?
In SUP foiling, the Sirus is a perfect match for typical DW boards with noble constructions like the FSP PRO boards. The narrower the board, the more you will exploit the potential of this front wing.
For dock start, a compact board will be perfect.
The stab must be buoyant and of sufficient surface to lift these large buoyant wings.
The mast must be very rigid. And even more so if your supports are uncertain. So the HM is almost obligatory, ideally the HM 72 dedicated to large wings and dock starts.
The stress on the fuselage when pumping is not as extreme as the one of landing a jump in wing foiling for example, but it generates material fatigue with the constant repetition of the effort over long periods. For this, we strongly recommend using our Titanium Pro fuselage for your pumping sessions. The heavier you are and the larger your front wing, the more essential it is.
The range of use of these wings is to fly when nothing else can. So it is perfectly complementary to all the other practices that your quiver allows: SUP, wing foiling, surfing, surf foiling etc…
Positioning of the foil ?
For the beginners on GONG foils, place the top plate in the middle of the US rails for wing foiling and at the rear third of the US rails for a paddle start.
The more you move it forward, the more it makes the board pitch up. The further you move it backwards, the more the nose of the board dives.
Be careful not to move it too far forward. We often tend to forget to use the back foot, especially when we have a kite foil background. However, moving the foil back a little forces you to put more weight on the back foot and gives a more harmonious attitude and reduces effort.
Equipments
Screws not included, your needs are :
Our front wing – fuselage connection works with three screws for the majority of sizes:
- 1 T30 M6 X 20 MM TORX SCREW (front screw)
- 1 T30 M6 X 16 MM TORX SCREW (rear screw)
- 1 T30 M6 X 12 MM TORX SCREW (top locking screw)
For the most extreme size, the 5XL, the fuselage connection is reinforced to increase the durability of your front wing. The screws are thus a few millimeters longer:
- 1 T30 M6 X 25 MM TORX SCREW (front screw)
- 1 T30 M6 X 20 MM TORX SCREW (rear screw)
- 1 T30 M6 X 16 MM TORX SCREW (top locking screw)
Our front wings are delivered in quality, durable and aesthetic packaging that can be used for storage at home and even in the car, to get to the spot without damaging them.
If the cardboard takes up too much space, you can also equip yourself with a GONG FOIL COVER FOR HIGH ASPECT FRONT WING in high quality material. They are great for travel, or when you want to take a lot of gear to the spot!

Warning
The practice of the foil carries risks of major accidents. A bad mastery of the foil can cause cuts, serious wounds, even death, for you and/or others.
The foil must be practiced taking all the precautions when used in kite because they are increased in comparison to those related to the foil surf. Remember that the foil is long, sharp, and can reach high speeds. To be hit by a foil, or to strike a third party can have dramatic consequences.
Foil always far from others, in safe and unobstructed water.
The foil is mainly used in the light wind. This one can fall and force you to go swimming. Therefore, do not overestimate your strengths: never go further than what you can swim under present and announced conditions.
Wear a helmet and protective jacket to ensure your buoyancy. Always wear a full neoprene wetsuit.
When handling the foil, be careful not to cut yourself on the trailing edges.
GONG declines all responsibility in the event of an accident involving a GONG foil. The foil practice and its benefits/consequences is under the sole responsibility of the foil user.
