Wings for fast surfing and high speed downwinders!

Introduction

The Veloce is the front wing that will make you evolve at high speed during your sessions. Perfect for long and intense curves, committed surfing and fast swells, the Veloce also has great pop and allows you to launch sky-high on the slightest bump.

It’s a downwind machine. The glide and pumping on the Veloce are simply incredible. Qualities that make you connect bumps effortlessly whether you are on wing or SUP foil gear. It feels lifty but never as if it was holding you back. It flies on swell bumps at incredible speed thanks to its fast and forgiving profile. It always feels comfortable, in the overspeed phases as in the low speed phases.

In surf / SUP foiling, its performance in pumping will amaze you. In the larger sizes, the front wing flies towards the next set without burning out your energy. In the smaller sizes it’s a rocket on the trim line that allows you to exit the wave at full speed towards the next one. Fast turns are its forte.

Obviously this is what makes it absolutely perfect for tow-in sessions. It goes fast, it is safe, it is easy to handle and stable in very tight curves.

In wing foiling it takes off very early for such a fast front wing. The lift is such that you can undersize it by 200cm² compared to its previous generation. This goes to show how early it will take off in the larger sizes.

Paired with a Cruzader, you enter a new dimension: that of the apparent wind +++. Only a few knots of wind feel like you’re sailing in 15 knots. It’s stunning and so fun. Making tacks, jibes and 360s in between two surfed waves goes with total confidence thanks to its formidable capacity for acceleration.

For the bigger riders, it is the front wing that allows them to have fun by raising the average speed without the physical and technical difficulties of a die-hard racing front wing.

For the lightweights, it’s an endless glide… in pumping as in freestyle.

This dock start animal can do it all. This versatility, which it owes to its perfect blend of speed and carving, makes it a quiver essential.

3D view

 

Shape

As its name suggests, the Veloce increases the tempo of your sessions. Faster, more lively, but it remains a real surfer.

To make it happen, the Veloce comes in a moderately high aspect ratio with a curved leading edge, a very straight trailing edge, a slightly negative camber and twisted up tips which offer a high level top speed but which is also capable of impressive carvings.

The ratio

Its aspect ratio of 7.5 means that the Veloce is very close to a high aspect ratio. It sits just below the aspect ratio of a Ypra S! This moderately high aspect ratio preserves maneuverability thanks to a contained wingspan and forgiveness with more concentrated volume, while offering a capacity for speed and a glide far superior to low aspect ratio wings.

This aspect ratio is maintained throughout the range to always offer the same feeling underfoot when changing size to adapt to the conditions.

The outline

The outline of the Veloce is divided into two parts.

A very curved leading edge for smooth turns. This shape facilitates rail to rail by making it progressive (the tip engages easily into the water).

A straight trailing edge that unlocks the foil in pitch for very efficient pumping and great responsiveness. We can thus react in a split second to the movements of the ocean.

Thickness of the profile

The Veloce front wings have a moderate volume that is evenly distributed over the wingspan for a very smooth, progressive and predictable behavior.

You can use larger wing surfaces for lift and glide for long downwinders. Or use smaller and more radical sizes for tow-in sessions, for example. This foil can totally handle powerful and hollow waves on the bigger days.

 

The volume of the front wing is set back to refine the leading edge and allow it to accept a lot of speed. It really is a must-have on fast swells.

 

The fine and slightly twisted tips provide very precise and very progressive steering to be able to attack curves at high speed. This twisting helps to get into the curve and relieves excessive lift.

The type of profile

The modernized profile with a set back volume offers better efficiency and an optimized glide, which allows both a longer hold of flights and to reach crazy speeds.

The rear third of the extrado is the key point of this new profile. With more volume on this part, the front wing glides longer for the same effort. Top speed is slightly affected but you enjoy a lot more length between two pumping strokes and a lot more lift at low speed. Another striking point: the front wing recovers flight incredibly well. If you fly too high, it will stall but recover on its own, without you even realizing it. Ditto in landings where it takes off again in a flash.

The max width has been moved back for more top speed, but also more roundness in its behavior (less ON/OFF).

In surf foiling you don’t get overwhelmed at the take-off.

In wing foiling it takes off easily and you recover flight cleanly after a jump without violent re-pop.

The trailing edge is supercritical to reduce drag as much as possible and tolerate crazy speeds without saturating.

The camber

The dihedral is very slightly negative to provide total (and essential) control in high-speed curves. You never feel the wing escaping or slipping away. The grip is clear. At the ends, the tips go up and make the front wing manageable for an intuitive rail to rail. We can link wide and fast curves together in an ultra natural way.

Your benefits are clear:

  1. An efficient shape created by one of the leaders in the world of foiling.
  2. A design at the cutting edge of R&D and ahead of its time.
  3. A construction proven on thousands of foils.

Instructions

Innovation is at the core of our products

Our wings are made of 90% Prepreg 3K carbon, with more than 15 layers of carbon fiber in total. High tension points such as the joints and connections are reinforced with Kevlar to resist tearing and glass for tolerance. Moulded at high pressure and high temperature on a foam core, our wings and stabs are practically indestructible. Both rigid and floating, they are the perfect balance between contained weight and infinite durability.

This technology has been tested and proven for over three years without any breakage on 30,000 ALLVATOR foil wings. In the event of a violent impact on a rock, you can easily repair them and they will be as good as new.

You will never see a GONG wing open on a leading edge because our unique draping technique crosses the layers of fibres. So there is no parting line on our wings. The entire outline has overlapping gaps, just like the rails on your top of the range boards.

This foil is completely dismountable to adapt to all sports at a lower cost and give you the possibility of replacing a damaged part.A complete spare parts catalogue is available, to allow you to make it compatible with multiple supports (Surf / SUP / Kite / Wing), and to explore the entire range of use of the foil in each sport and at all levels.

Please note that GONG is at the forefront of foil development. We have been at the origin of the creation of the biggest foil factory that produces the major brands today. 18 months of intense work and dozens of tools developed. So don’t imagine that our foils are made in a gloomy garage. We develop all our products according to the rules of the art, with many internal engineers, with state-of-the-art 3D software, countless tests, with a Team at the highest level. That’s one of the reasons why we can offer low prices and refined products: we know what we’re doing from A to Z. We do not sell freelance designed foils. Our teams are at work year round and dedicated to the development of our products.

Buying guide

For whom ?

If you have an advanced level and a committed style of sailing / surfing and like to mix speed and carves, then the Veloce is perfect for you. 

It will bring you a high speed of evolution on the water; will allow you to send ultra fast curves, and will let you fly effortlessly to connect swell bumps on end during downwinders!

What for ?

Flying with a lot of speed left to spare, a magical glide, while maintaining a true surfy feel in maneuvers: the guarantee of ultra-efficient performance.

The Veloce is made for surfing fast swells, handling high speeds without ever being limited in the low range either, with an incredible glide to perform in downwinders and pumping.

In detail for each «sport»:

  • In wing foiling: the Veloce offers the perfect mix of high speed and carving. It excels in downwinders thanks to its limitless glide and effortless pumping. It is also great in fast waves for its stability at high speed. We have a feeling of ease where some wings are too much to handle in such use. So you can go all in and radicalize your surfing at will. In jumps, the pop is perfect and the repop very effective.
  • In surf foiling: the Veloce is made for powerful waves or for dynamic surfers. A front wing with a high potential for speed but which offers all the control necessary not to be overwhelmed. In the larger sizes it allows to connect the waves easily thanks to its ultra efficient pumping. So it will either be a mean little wing or a magic glider.
  • In SUP foiling: the Veloce will be perfect for doing offshore downwinders and connecting bumps easily while maintaining flight in moments of transition.
  • In kite foiling: the Veloce is a wing that goes fast and can handle solid carves in surfing. Ideal for a radical ride but with lift. The speed limit is the one you set yourself because the more you push it, the more it will accelerate.

 

Which shape ? Veloce or Veloce H?

The use for the Veloce and Veloce H is a similar one: to surf with an unbridled foil in roll that isn’t excessively wild. It remains manageable but with a formidable glide. These qualities allow for versatility on all types of water bodies and excellence in the waves.

Choosing the one or the other will depend on the glide you want out of it and the size that appeals to you. The Veloce H will offer an insane glide, while the Veloce will offer a more natural rail to rail to link tighter turns together but above all less technical. Either way, they’re magical surf FWs with a crazy glide and an outrageous speed potential.

To put it simply, the Veloce H has more aspect ratio and will allow you to glide longer, to reach even higher speeds but will be less efficient than a Veloce in turns and will be less easy to make take off.

A few examples about choosing the Veloce or the Veloce H

  • You’re new to downwinders, be it on wing or SUP foiling gear, choose the Veloce.
  • You have a good level in surf / SUP foiling and dock start on flat days, choose the Veloce H.
  • You want a good mix of speed / handling, favor the Veloce.
  • You have a good level in wing foiling with downwinders / freeflying as a priority, go for the Veloce H.
  • You favor ease on the take-off, choose the Veloce.
  • You like to glide, to feel that the foil is flying at full speed on waves or on speed runs, whether on in wing foiling or a kite foiling: Veloce H.

What size ?

The Veloce front wings can fit riders of all sizes. 

The S has a 73 cm wingspan, 700 cm², 1,4 cm thickness for a volume of 0,52L.

  • For surf foiling it is small and therefore radical. It’s a wing that is both fast and very easy to handle which allows either to score in fast waves, or to be fast and radical in normal waves when you know how to surf with an attitude. It’s a great tow-in front wing on big wave days.
  • For wing foiling it is the ideal small front wing to surf a fast wave, and as it lifts a lot it is accessible for a light person. A bigger rider with a good level will love it in powerful waves.
  • For kite foiling: it’s great if you want to break the sound barrier 😉 without having to struggle on an excessively radical FW. The Veloce is quite forgiving.

The M has a 82 cm wingspan, 900 cm², 1,6 cm thickness for a volume of 0,74L.

  • For surf foiling it’s great for light and fit surfers who want to rip everything apart in hollow waves or in normal waves for those who know how to handle a foil in a high speed range.
  • For wing foiling this is the key size for classic sessions. Small but very stable and with a big lift in relation to its surface. It’s really great for windy downwinders, it allows you to engage in very short turns and to position yourself perfectly on the swell. In the waves the top speed / carving ratio is just perfect.
  • For kite foiling: it is great for a large number of riders into long speed runs and easy tacks. It has lift and yet it is fast and maneuverable.

 The L has a 91cm wingspan, 1100 cm², 1,7 cm thickness for a volume of 1,00L.

  • For surf foiling it is suitable for the majority of surfers who already have a good level and who want a wing capable of handling high speeds and connecting thanks to efficient pumping. It is either the “small” front wing for a strong paddler, or a large one for a lightweight who wants to turn and go fast on the wave and in pumping.
  • For downwinders it is a small wing, perfect for fast swells and strong winds.
  • For wing foiling it is perfect for an advanced rider who wants to surf fast waves or surf soft waves with speed, do downwinders with a high evolution speed, and keep maneuverability in turns. Really cool too for tacks and jibes.
  • For kite foiling: too much wingspan for kiting, we advise against it even if the surface is ok.

The XL has a 99 cm wingspan, 1300 cm², 1,9 cm thickness for a volume of 1,29L.

  • For surf foiling it is a large wing that is suitable for light riders who want a performance wing that is fast in pumping to connect a maximum of waves. The big riders will love it because it is fast enough to position itself in the most powerful areas without being overwhelming, and it is still very maneuverable for a FW that flies in the waves and in pumping.
  • For downwinders it is a key size in wind and “identifiable” bumps. We go fast while remaining opportunistic with this great maneuverability which allows us to exploit each slope.
  • For wing foiling it’s perfect for an advanced rider who wants to fly early, go fast and surf the swell on light wind days. Its glide is magical. It takes off in very little wind, allows fast speed runs and tacks, and racing jibes. And if you like freeflying, it is one of the very best at this game!!!
  • For kite foiling: to forget, it’s too big.

The XXL has a 106 cm wingspan, 1500 cm², 2,0 cm thickness for a volume of 1,58L.

  • For surf foiling it is a large wing which is suitable for strong people. You can cover great distances by pumping. It is a super efficient wing in surfing due to its great finesse and great lift. It excels in soft waves where it will produce a lot of speed and therefore turning capabilities. The surface area to wingspan ratio is awesome with this maneuverability. A light rider will love it to connect waves in pumping. It will be almost unstoppable!!!
  • For wing foiling it is a large size that allows you to have fun without worrying in light wind. You can take off very early and pick up speed very easily. Its high top speed means you have speed to spare to survive the lulls. For a dynamic rider, it’s really perfect. And in freefly in light conditions it is THE reference.
  • For kite foiling: always too big 😉

General: a bigger front wing will be used in low ranges, in soft conditions. And conversely a smaller front wing in stronger 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.

Understand our foil range

Which stab ?

We recommend using Veloce H stabs with all Veloce front wings. Use stabs that have some surface area because the H stabilizers remain thin. So do not undersize them.

This table allows you to easily identify which stab for which front wing, or which stab for a quiver of several Veloce front wings.

Which quiver ?

With a Veloce, an Alu or a Carbon V2 mast are sufficient because the wingspan of these wings is moderate in small sizes. But it is obvious that with an HM mast you will gain a lot of stiffness. Indispensable if you really are powerful in curves or on large sizes, an HM carbon mast will allow you to transmit 100% of the forces to the front wing. The gain in stiffness and dynamism is incredible.

In surf foiling, you can use any board from our range with the Veloce, but to be more maneuverable, a performance board like the Matata or the Lethal will be perfect.

Ditto in wing foiling, it can be adapted to everything but it is more in the tempo of a short board.

For downwinders on a SUP foil, it will work perfectly with a Cruzader which will allow you to gain a lot of speed to settle on the swell before takeoff.

Positioning of the foil ?

For the GONG foils, place the top plate at the rear third of the US rails for surf, SUP and kite foiling. Place it in the middle of the US rails when using it for wing foiling.

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.

GONG FOIL ALLVATOR FRONT WING VELOCE: from 279 €

  • We make quality products. We are not “low cost”.
  • We sell simply without an intermediary thanks to the internet : direct from shaper to surfer.
  • If we sold this item in a surfshop, it would cost 409€ (taking into account traditional margins that we should offer to distributers and stores).

 

Shipping

Availability:

The dates of availability of all our products are written on each product page, in the size and colour of the product concerned.

These dates are valid at the moment you consult the site and/or place an order. It is possible that this product may be ordered a few seconds after your consultation. It then becomes unavailable. If you have placed an order, this change does not concern you: the product you order is still available on the date indicated at the time of your order.

We sell several thousand products per week. The stocks are therefore very evolutionary. But our management always shows you the real availability live.

If it’s available online: it’s available ?

 

Pre-order:

Some articles are proposed in pre-order during their routing to our premises. You can buy this article which will arrive at our place in a few weeks. This method avoids the fair to grab upon receipt of the lot and the disappointed ones who would not order within the hour.

Upon receipt, we will ship it to you as a regular order.

The times indicated on the pre-orders are 95% reliable. First of all, because we only pre-sell finished products that are arriving to us after Customs, and therefore shipped right after. And also, because we add decent margins with concern to the dates announced by the shipping companies or railways.

However, a Worker Strike, a breakdown, an overbooking, can unfortunately happen. In the case of a delay, you will be notified by email (check your spam). It is generally less than a week and totally independent of our good will.

As soon as we receive the container in La Baule, we ship your order within three working days. Then the carrier takes over: delivery time and tracking numbers are under their responsibility.

It is possible that the date displayed on the online for the pre-order of the item you have ordered and paid for may change for two reasons:

  1. All quantities of the batch are sold (most common reason). In this case, orders placed for the first container will be delivered as scheduled.
  2. The container is late and we have to shift the date by a few days. (Strikes, breakdowns, overbooking, can unfortunately happen). You will be notified by email.

We never change the delivery dates of a container without notifying customers.

 

Delays:

The dates that we announce are shipping deadlines, which GONG has in stock and available here physically.

We usually give a shipping time within 3 days, but in most cases, we ship within 24/48 hours. Normally morning orders leave in the afternoon for example.

Then the transport service takes over. The variables are then important between the customer being delivered to France (very fast) or Bulgaria (a good week) or to a forwarding agent or to Asia or the USA… You understand that each location has its own type of delay.

We work with serious and well-known carriers. They do their utmost to make you happy even if a snafu can happen. In any case, we are there to make things easier and to arrange our customers.

 

Shipping Fees: 

Contrary to others, we do not hide shipping costs in the price of our products. At GONG everyone knows exactly what he pays. The transport is charged at its strictest value, and the person who comes to pick up his products does not pay hidden transport fees.

Shipping costs are calculated according to the weight and volume of each package, and your delivery address. To this is added a labour time of order preparation.

The invoicing of the shipping costs is identical in continental France and in the bordering European countries. A surcharge is automatically invoiced for deliveries to the most distant European countries and all European islands.

For a shipment in French overseas departments and territories or outside Europe, our logistics department will contact you before the payment stage to give you an estimate of the shipping costs. You will be able to accept this estimate and pay your order, or refuse it and cancel your order.

 

Any questions:

We answer you within 24 hours by email. But 95% of your questions are answered on the site. Try to use our contact form which will guide you to all these answers.

Don’t forget to read the Forum, where thousands of users exchange information and experiences.

In any case, don’t panic. If you don’t get an answer during the weekend, it’s normal: the team is resting ?

We are passionate and professional in our job. Our only goal is to make you happy, as much as possible ?

 

Eco-responsible packaging:

Preserving the environment is a top priority. That’s why we are doing everything possible to reduce our environmental footprint.

The first thing is to sell quality products that will last, be repairable and will please you for a long time.

The second thing is to sell for less. Most of the pollution coming from a Board is in its use (the km driven to use it) and in the countless environmental damages you have to do to pay for it. Each euro spent is a sum of damage related to your life quite simply: eating, working hard etc… By reducing the price of our products, we significantly reduce your ecological footprint on this item.

For our shipments we use:

  • Flexi-Hex: ecological packaging of very high resistance.
  • Paper Craft Scotch Tape.
  • Final packaging made of high-end cardboard.

All this for:

  • Reusable and recyclable packaging.
  • An almost total reduction of single-use plastic.
  • Maximum protection and impact resistance thanks to the innovative design of Flexi-Hex honeycomb (35mm thick).

 

Tracking of your parcels :

The tracking of deliveries is directly ensured by the carriers to whom we have entrusted your parcels. They will contact you by email or SMS to allow you to choose the delivery methods and to follow the route of your package.

If you ask us for this tracking, we will have to do as you do: we will go see on the carrier’s app because they are the ones who manage and are responsible for this job.

 

Delivery:

We collaborate with the best transport providers to deliver you everywhere in Europe and in the world in very short delays.

We have chosen them for their quality of service and their respect of deadlines. 80% of your orders reach their destination in less than 48 hours of processing in metropolitan and continental France.

For Europe, the delays vary from 3 to 6 days depending on the country of destination.

For the rest of the world, delays can be up to 15 days.

Please note that the transport time is added to the preparation/shipping time. Two companies work on your order (GONG and the carrier). Each one controls its activity and commits itself to optimize its delays so that you are delivered as soon as possible, in good condition and at a reasonable price.

 

Reception of your front wing:

Upon delivery, simply open and inspect the condition of your Board in the presence of the carrier. A complete email explaining the procedure to follow will be sent to you when your order is shipped.

In spite of our requirements and all the care we take in packaging and protecting your Board, transportation hazards may occur. Even if it concerns less than 2% of everything we ship around the world, a Board can suffer a more or less important transportation shock.

But in any case, don’t worry, just refuse it, and a new Board will be shipped back to you.

 

Returns:

You can choose to return your products if:

  • You are not satisfied (14 days right of retraction).
  • You want to change an item.
  • You have refused your package.

  1. Benjamin

    Hello la Team .
    Un petit retour sur l’essai de ma nouvelle Véloce V2 XL aujourd’hui.
    Avec un poids de 95 kg, je naviguais jusqu’à présent en Fluid XXLT (pour le light) et Fluid XLT.
    La Véloce V2 XL décolle plus tôt que ma Fluid Xxlt, ce qui est impressionnant.
    Le décollage est facile, le passage au ratio 7.5 est transparent.
    En navigation, la Véloce est bien calée, avec une super glisse à pleine vitesse sur les bords full speed.
    En descente de houle, l’équilibre est excellent, sans impression de débordement. En ce qui concerne les jibes, je trouve la Véloce 2 plus simple que la Fluid XLT on est bien calé dans la courbe sans instabilité.
    En résumé, la Véloce est vraiment top! 🔥👍 Merci à l’équipe GONG.

    Hello !
    Petit retour sur la Veloce XXL que j’ai testé plutôt dans du light light pour le moment.
    J’ai relu la description de GONG sur la front :
    “Sous une Cruzader, vous entrez dans une nouvelle dimension : celle du vent apparent +++. Quelques nœuds de vent et vous volez comme s’il y avait 15 nœuds.”
    Et ba c’est exactement ce que je ressens !
    Vent hyper mou mais une fois en vol, la veloce combinée à la pulse ça glisse tout seul et ça crée du vent apparent, c’est génial.
    Je dois bientôt recevoir un mât HM, je vais pouvoir tester la plage haute et tartiner ! À suivre…
    Bon ride ! 🤙

  3. Sébastien

    Petite session supfoil en cruz Hipe 7.6 pour tester la véloce v2 xl en 1300 qui va me servir pour les downwind et deflate pour descendre a la pagaie 😉
    Bin bin déjà ça décolle facilement a la pagaie dans des ondulation avant que les vagues ne cassent ça c’est cool , la portance a basse vitesse est top c est exactement ce que je rechercher et la glisse est vraiment bien aussi je pense avoir trouver l aile qui me faut pour mon programme . 🤙

    I love it!
    I had Fluid LS, I liked how I surfed but I womted more speed and glide. So, Gabriel from Gong recomend me this new Veloce L.
    Yesterday I could enjoy one of my best wing foil session in small waves. 1m waves and 12-20 knotsonshore wind. I know is not the best condition s but I could surf like a “Malo” jejeje, surfing a wave doing a lot of turns rail to rail with speed and without the need of pumping every time. Even with 91 cm spam looks like I was in a 76 cm spam doing easy turns.

  5. Filippo

    first session today: veloce S, stab freestyle 37, 20 knots neutra 4.5 and 24 knots neutra 4. small but regular waves. I’m impressed: very fast take off, fast front, excellent upwind, control, glide (not like a fast H, but not far from a fluid H). pumping machine…easy and radical. stab freestyle 37? : radical! not for beginners! really sensitive to pressure, tight turns, reactive.. for the first time since I wingfoil I have the sensation of leading the turn on the shoulder of the wave as I want and not as the foil wants 🙂.. the low end is also extraordinary… I didn’t think it possible because It is a 700 cm2 FW. I chose the veloce S as a compromise between glide and handling…now I haven’t doubts: perfect choice. I think a fluid or veloce stab could be a right choice, but I love freestyle stab.

  6. David (verified owner)

    après 2 sessions en veloce L en conditions light entre 8 et 15 noeuds, je suis conquis (gabarit de 70 kg). cette veloce L V2 remplace une curve L V1. il ne m’a pas fallu longtemps (après quelques chutes) pour prendre les bons appuis (différents de l’ancienne curve evidemment) et là waouh : ça décolle tout seul, à peine besoin de mettre un petit coup de pump pour que ça parte, ça décolle tout en glisse et en douceur. Sa vitesse est impressionnante (couplée avec une droid 2024 en 5.5) et contrairement à l’ancienne curve pas besoin de toujours controler pour qu’elle ne sorte pas de l’eau en vitesse de pointe, c’est un pur bonheur.

  7. Hugo B

    Les conditions étants indécise ce WE, j’ai voulu voir ce que cette Veloce V2 avait dans le ventre dans des conditions douteuses !
    Et bien nouveau record pour moi avec une XL sous les pieds (+Veloce H44) : 20,8nds dans 11 à 16nds de vent avec la Neutra UPE en 5m.
    La définition même de l’efficacité.. Je ne pensais pas qu’une FW de cette taille irait jusque-là aussi facilement, et pourtant ..
    Par contre, je doute de pouvoir tirer plus dessus ! (Quoique avec le futur HM 105 ça se tenterait aha).
    En parallèle, les mentalités changent enfin sur les spots du Sud-Est, ça fait plaisir à voir ! Les nouvelles Wings GONG commencent à faire leurs apparitions, et le gens sont de plus en plus curieux en voyant le rendement que peu avoir le matos !
    Alpagué 3 fois dans l’après-midi pour parler du matos, ça fait plaisir de sentir cet intérêt grandissant ! 🤙🏻

    Retour sur la Véloce XL v2.
    Session du jour, 13nds-18nds forcissant à 20nds en fin de nav. Beaux petits surfs dans une houle formé d’environ 1m
    Pedigree : 80kg en Neutra UPE 5m, Véloce V2 XL (puis MH), Véloce H44, Mat Carbonne V2 et Tk Trix 4’6 55l.

    Pour contexte, je l’ai prise pour dynamiser mes navs dans les conditions de 12-18nds.
    Mise à l’eau, décollage immédiat avec la Véloce V2 XL sans avoir besoin de pomper. Petit moment de flottement dans ma tête, j’ai méchamment l’impression d’avoir acheté une FW qui va s’avérer bien trop grande au regard de la puissance de la Neutra UPE. Passons.
    Pour sa taille, elle glisse très bien! 20nds de vmax en appuyant bien (fort) dessus. Je ne l’avais jamais fait sur une XL. Elle est bien calée en ligne droite.
    La portance à bas régime est parfaite, similaire aux ailes débutant d’ancienne génération. Les taks tournent sur place, au ralentit.
    Elle ne sera pas la reine des turns avec son envergure, mais les grandes courbes sont très saines et se font sans forcer.
    J’ai été étonné de sortir les tips sans que quoi que ce soit ne se passe, alors que j’y suis assez sensible habituellement !
    En mode Freefly, si vous savez lire à minima un plan d’eau, elle ne retombera jamais et vous n’aurez pas ou peu à pomper ! C’est son véritable point fort !!
    Conclusion, une aile perf ridiculement facile et qui vole à l’infini.
    Je change de FW au bout d’une heure pour mettre la Véloce MH au regard de la puissance de la wing.
    La XL sera mon aile de 10-15nds.

    Después de un mes esperando la nueva veloce L , se acerca el día y aparece el esperado email 4 días antes de la fecha de llegada prevista!!!
    Primera prueba con neutra v3 4,5 m y 13-15 kt. Agua chopi alguna mini ola , pero las ganas me llevan a probarla. Algunos bombeos y rápidamente despega!!! Se siente estable , rápida y planea muy bien. Los giros son magníficos .
    Seguiré probando e informando .
    Gracias GONG Galaxy por los momentos que disfrutamos con nuestros “ juguetes”

    Hello, petit retour sur la nouvelle frontwing Veloce XL (99cm d’envergure, 1300cm²)
    Hier j’ai eu le plaisir de pouvoir essayer cette frontwing grâce à FantoSlate ER qui avait un beau package d’ailes avant Gong à tester.
    Moi : 70kg – 1.80m – Niveau débrouillé qui commence à passer les jibes et à faire ses switchs de pied.
    Vent : de zéro en passant par anémique avec quelques rafales à 12-15 noeuds (je pense, je suis mauvais juge).
    Matos de la session : J’avais la Cruzader 7XL sous les pieds, que je suis en train de découvrir et avec laquelle j’avais déjà fait une session avec la première version de la Curve XLT (celle qui fait dans les 2000cm²). Stab H pro Fluid 45. Wing Plus v2 5m².
    Sensation / Feedback : J’ai été surpris par la portance au décollage de la Veloce XL. J’avais l’impression d’avoir la Curve XLT sous les pieds, avec près de 700cm² d’écart, mais avec bien plus de glide. Je n’ai pas beaucoup navigué avec, mais j’ai tout de suite trouvé mon placement pour maintenir l’altitude sans peine, pour moi et mon niveau c’est une aile facile et efficace.
    The cherry on the cake : Durant la session, j’ai aussi tiré un bord avec la toute dernière Lethal 4’10 de FantoSlate ER, avant que le vent se casse la gueule. Elle était montée avec la Veloce XL, mât HM85 et stab Freestyle H 41. Vu mon niveau c’était un peu une gageure, mais comme j’étais en flotabilité positive, que j’avais travaillé mon équilibre sur la Cruzader depuis une semaine, et qu’il n’y avait pas de vagues, j’ai été supris de décoller en quelques coups de pumping (de mon bon côté, bien entendu). Une planche pas si élitiste que ça dans cette version, j’ai bien kiffé. J’avais un peu moins de contrôle qu’avec la Cruzader, je pense que c’est lié au stab qui était plus petit et plus court.
    Voili, voilou, cette nouvelle Veloce me fait de l’oeil comme nouvelle aile à tout faire pour dans quelques mois, probablement en L pour les sessions un peu plus ventées à Tenerife. Mais avant ça je serais curieux de voir ce que donne la nouvelle Curve.

    Aujourd’hui j’ai testé la nouvelle Veloce V2 en taille L 1100 cm2.
    j’ai été surpris aux premiers coups de pumping par l’énorme plage basse qu’elle a. Je pense que je la décolle encore plus facilement qu’une véloce xlt 1650cm.
    La glisse est vraiment top, très saine.très bon cap.les manœuvres passaient easy, presque à l’arrêt c’était assez surprenant.
    Carving correct, à vérifier en vague.
    Ça reste une L mais avec les nouvelles gamme, elles sont certainement aussi accessibles que des xl (ancienne génération)sans avoir autant de lift.
    Je pense qu’à 3 4 nds elle vole encore 🤪
    Finalement c’est pas mal d’avoir un peu de confort 🤪
    GONG Galaxy a booster les anciennes génération des VELOCE que j’adorais en leur donnant une plage basse excellente 🔥
    Merci à Yohann Roussel pour le test 🙏

    Vent parfait pour tester la nouvelle Veloce M en wing, quelques bons bumps (épaule) , de la pente mais mou car trop d’eau quand j’y étais. Je suis remonté jusqu’à un autre spot plus au Nord, l’aile cape super bien, mais toutes petites vagues là-bas.
    20 noeuds environ, bien toilé en 4.5 m, Stab Fluid H 38, board 4’7″ 59 litres,178 cm, 68 kg, 53 ans, expérimenté wingfoil, supfoil.
    En deux mots, performante et FACILE !
    Mes points de comparaison Ypra S M et L.
    Clairement moins de glide que la Ypra S L. Il faut la relancer plus souvent pour connecter les bumps. Pour passer les dômes au milieu du spot la Ypra S L est intouchable je pense, sauf les jours de gros bien sûr.
    Sur les plus belles vagues “plus pêchues” aujourd’hui, la veloce était largement suffisante pour descendre jusqu’en bas (les vagues ne déferlaient pas).
    La vitesse, je suis pas bon sur ce point, je peine à dépasser 20 noeuds dans une mer formée comme aujourd’hui même en Ypra, très peu d’écart avec cette Veloce M, ça va largement assez vite pour moi, un poil moins de stabilité en roulis probablement. Pas d’excès de pression sur la jambe avant, ce que je déteste avec mon petit gabarit.
    On sent un très bon appui, mais sans excès de lift.
    L’aile est très très maniable. Avec la Ypra S L qui va vite tout le temps, je suis souvent débordé dans la pente, j’ai trop de vitesse pour tourner serré. La veloce accepte des vitesses très basses en comparaison, du coup le carving est beaucoup plus facile ! A confirmer en supfoil.
    Cette efficacité à basse vitesse rend l’aile ultra facile en transition, là oui Il faut être rapide et précis avec la Ypra S, elle ne pardonne pas.
    Gros changement avec cette veloce, les imprécisions se rattrapent facilement, une grosse touchette, pas de soucis, un petit coup de pomping même en switch et ça repart facile.
    Au pomping, encore une fois une impression de facilité. Avec la Ypra S L il faut de la vitesse et de la fréquence, et 0 touchette.
    La veloce est bien plus tolérante, la vitesse est infèrieure mais il y a du “grip” sous le pied avant, sans excès de pression encore une fois et elle est bien plus permissive. Il faudra confirmer aussi ce point en supfoil.
    Dernière chose par rapport à la Ypra S M (que je connais moins), le décollage est beaucoup plus facile. La Ypra S M même dans 20 noeuds demande un pomping énergique, en abattant bien, c’est fatiguant. La veloce dans le même vent décolle sans effort.

    Petit retour de test de la nouvelle Veloce en taille L, je suis un grand fan des anciens modèles LT et XLT. Ce que j’adorais de ces modèles, un plané au top proche des HA avec la facilitée de décollage dans le light ou vent rafaleux d’une aile classique. Les nouvelles Veloce ont toujours ce coté performance – facilité avec en plus une maniabilité bien plus intuitive! On va vite et on tourne fort sur un rayon plus court tout en gardant de la stabilité. En descente de vague pas de surpression avec risque de sortie de l’eau, on peut garder la vitesse pour profiter de la vague en mode énervé. Un must have!

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 Foilsurf. 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.
