The easy stab to start and progress!

Introduction

The X-Over stab is our simplest stab for learning to fly, for doing your first maneuvers, and smoothly mastering all phases of progression that will make you a happy foiler.

This stabilizer is very forgiving: it takes off early, accepts very low speeds, and erases many piloting errors.

It is the tail wing for evolving riders, who are looking for stability and tolerance, but above all for versatility. This stab makes it easier to tame the foil and quickly fly, sail upwind and have fun on the water! It is also a very good freeride stab for advanced riders who want to sail without stress.

The 90° winglets on the tips of the stab translate into perfect yaw stability, with a limited impact on drag. In short: it goes straight and does not fly sideways. This gives the foil a super predictable behavior in accelerations and maneuvers. We also have more comfort on the upwind phases. The foil goes straight in the axis of the board, without skidding, but it turns and remains manageable: flying in the axis does not mean locking the foil! Just press on one side and it enters the curve properly to start your best jibes.

The fuselage is longer compared to the other stabs in our range: everything is cooler. The foil is deliberately less lively to provide the evolving rider with a feeling of smoothness and stability. The point is not to be overwhelmed by an overly nervous foil that goes up and down like the dolphin at the slightest mistake or suddenly enters the curves. The X-Over stab provides control on all axes for a flight behavior that is always very predictable and reassuring.

This longer fuselage allows the stab to have a better lever arm on the front wing and therefore more effect on an equal surface. This brings a lot of stability in pitch: essential when starting out and still finding your bearings, or to reposition your stance in flight with confidence. In wing foiling it allows you to focus more on the handling of the wing, in surfing you can better anticipate the trajectory by allowing yourself to be less focused on the height of flight.

The lift of this stabilizer is increased tenfold: we take off super early. No need to pump frantically with the wing or the board, everything is done naturally and smoothly. Experienced riders will greatly appreciate this tail wing in very light winds.

And thanks to this lever arm which increases the lift tenfold, we were able to give the stab a relatively thin profile which allows it to accept a great top speed for this kind of shape. It is a stab that will accompany you in your progression for a long time.

The X-Over stabs in sizes L and XL, will allow you to discover all the sports, be it kite, wing, surf or SUP foiling.

Choosing the right size

The X-Over stabs are accessible and will be the perfect complement to an X-Over front wing, but it can work very well with other front wings if you feel that you need a more forgiving stab or one that allows you to lean very strongly in turns. Choose the size you usually like from GONG. Always adjust the size of the stab to the size of the front wing for a balanced flight. A stab L with a front wing L will give a perfectly balanced set up.


Your benefits are clear:

  • An efficient shape created by one of the leaders in the world of foiling.
  • A design at the cutting edge of R&D and ahead of its time.
  • A construction proven on thousands of foils.
  • The “Full Options” finish at a crazy price.
  • A light and solid Foil, with one of the best technologies on the market!!!
  • An incredible price that can only be explained by our direct relationship with you.
  • Simple maintenance and easy repairs as we have all the components in stock.

GONG | Foil Allvator Stab X-Over
Shape
Fuselage

The shape of the X-Over stabs was designed with two things in mind: flight stability and low-speed lift. However, it is far from limited to a low end use thanks to its longer and thinner profile that delivers a really good top speed.

 



This stab is only compatible with our Pro fuselages, in either aluminum or titanium. The fiberglass and carbon tail of the stab is shaped to reduce weight and drag.

The back portion of the fuselage blends in the stab. It is extremely streamlined which reduces drag by a factor of 3. A fuselage that frees up every front wing of our range and brings a 3 to 5 knots top speed boost compared to the previous version of the fuselage.

This back part of the fuselage is so efficient that it boosts maneuverability by reducing drag. The very small section close to the stab gives the ability to turn much more easily.

 


The fitting/profile connection fillets have been optimized for more glide. But they also ensure the blocking of twisting for perfect rigidity.

The trapezoidal insert mechanism with the Pro fuselage ensures an ideal assembly without the need for a counter-screw.

The result is a beautiful, light, rigid and tremendously effective foil!

 

Outline

The outline maximizes the surface with a mostly constant chord along the center 2/3 of the stab and thinner tips. This generous surface along the whole span offers great pitch stability.

The leading edge is slightly curved and the trailing edge is straight. This geometry allows for better roll control.

 

Profile

The profile is generous along the whole span to allow for low-speed flight, without being too thick, because the longer fuselage compared to the rest of the range increases its effect on the front wing. No need to add any more thickness which would slow down your foil and create too much lift.

Similar to the rest of the newer range, the profile has been improved to get a more progressive lift and handle a higher top speed compared to previous versions.

On the 90° tip winglets, the profile isn’t lifty. The main role of the tips is to act as a fin to improve yaw control.

 

Dihedral

Slightly negative for more grip in the curves and keep the stab away from the surface of the water.

The tips angle back up to bring more pitch stability and lock the foil on its trajectory. Ideal to avoid the little scares of the first sessions. In addition, it prevents scraping the tips on the seafloor.

Stab Pro Clear Technology


Carbon fiber is the Holy Grail of composite materials. Its use allows for the creation of products with high technical constraints. This enables both thickness reduction and increased rigidity, providing more speed and responsiveness in navigation.

These wings have no flex. Fibers are oriented along multiple axes to lock in bending and torsion, ensuring maximum responsiveness.

Thanks to pre-impregnated fibers, we can guarantee optimal resin usage, providing perfect cohesion at the lightest weight possible.

Each layer of carbon fiber is carefully hand-assembled around a high-density hydrophobic foam core, in a steel mold. A central stiffener is integrated to increase rigidity without compromising on lightness.

The mold is then subjected to high pressure and heated to 150°C to solidify the fibers. The foam core, seeking to expand under the heat, ensures even compression between the layers, guaranteeing a strong and durable structure.

Durability and repairability are at the heart of our development philosophy. Our foils are tested and proven by dozens of team riders, hundreds of employees, and thousands of customers worldwide. Even in case of damage, our products can be repaired multiple times, ensuring exceptional longevity.

Buying guide

For whom?

You saw a bunch of riders having a blast and you want to join the party? The X-Over is a perfect entry point to get into foiling and evolve, be it in wing, kite, surf or SUP foiling!

For what?

These stabs have been designed to be easy and a lot of fun in maneuvers, while having good speed and control. It’s great for wing or a kite foiling, but also on surf/SUP foiling gear to do nice and clean maneuvers.

With a generous and very well thought out profile, it is the stab offering a great glide/lift compromise. Its dihedral and winglets offer total control to fully engage in the moves and progress:

  • In surf foiling, it’s great to start calmly without being surprised on the take off and in the curves.
  • In wing foiling, it is a very comfortable, accessible stab that allows you to optimize take-off and fly without being scared.
  • In kite foiling, it is ideal for beginners who want control without excessive speed.


 Which size?


The X-Over stabs are very simple. Choose the size you usually like from GONG.

Always adjust the size of the stab to the size of the front wing for a balanced flight.

For a front wing XL or XXL: Stab X-Over XL.

For a front wing M or L: Stab X-Over L.

For a front wing S or less: look for a stab from another range, aFluid for example.

The L has a 44 cm wingspan, 275 cm2, 0,73 cm thick for a volume of 0,12L.

  • In surf foiling, it is a stab that will suit the majority of medium-sized foilers.
  • In wing foiling, it’s perfect for riders of an intermediate level looking for versatility with a very good low end.
  • In kite foiling, it is a great stab for big riders.

The XL has a 48 cm wingspan, 335 cm2, 0,79 cm thick for a volume of 0,15L.

  • In surf foiling, it is a great stab for big riders and large wings.
  • In wing foiling, it is a great stab for big riders and large wings.
  • In kite foiling: to forget, it’s too big.

Which quiver?

The X-Over Stab is very easy. You can mount it on a board with volume to start, but it will also be an easier stab for more advanced riders.

The Aluminum Mast does the job very well with this progression stab.

Positioning of the foil?

For beginners on GONG foils, place the plate in the rear third for surfing, SUP and kite, and in the middle of the US rails for wing foiling.

The further you move it, the more it pitches the board up. The more you move it back, the more the nose of the board dives.

Warning:

The practice of the sport Foil may expose you to serious injury. A poor mastering of Foil may lead to cut, serious injury and/or including death for you and/or others.

Foil should be practiced by taking into consideration all kite user precautions that are associated with  the sport Foil. Remember that a Foil is long, cutting, and reaches high speeds. Getting hit by a Foil, or hitting someone/thing can have dramatic consequences.

Always Foil far from others, in a secure and safe waterscape without obstacles.

Foil is most often practiced in light winds which may cease to blow leading you to return to shore by swimming. As a consequence do not overestimate your your strength/capacity : never go further out than your skill and swimming capacities and wind conditions allow.

Always wear a helmet and life vest for floatation. Always wear a full body wetsuit.

When handling the Foil, be careful not to cut yourself along the edges.

GONG is NOT responsable in case of any and all accidents implicating a Foil GONG. The practice of Foil is undertaken under the complete responsability of the Foil User/Practioner.

DISPUTES AND LIABILITY

GONG-GALAXY cannot be held liable for non-performance of the contract formed, on the one hand due to a force majeure event, as defined by the courts, and on the other hand, in the event of wrongdoing by the client or an unforeseeable and insurmountable act by a third party to the contract. GONG-GALAXY cannot be held liable for consequences resulting from the incorrect use of products sold on the Website.

Although our products have performances that are compatible with professional use, GONG-GALAXY does not intend to sell the professionals.

The danger in sports practised depends in large part in respecting fundamental rules for safety, priorities, and local regulations that are required for spots.

Each user of GONG-GALAXY products is responsible for making sure that he is at least covered by civil liability insurance, if necessary, by purchasing a sports license.

The rules for maintenance, use, and safety are found in the instructions for use delivered with each product. The instructions may also be downloaded by clicking on the following link or from the GONG-GALAXY.COM website. The instructions form an integral part of the scope of this contract, for which it constitutes an exhibit in and of itself. You acknowledge that you have carefully examined it.

Special statement regarding foils products

The practice of foils, in every medium, presents a special hazard. Notwithstanding the contents of the instructions for use of each product, it is imperative that a few simple rules be observed:

  • Wear a safety vest and a helmet. Foils contain areas of impact that are indispensable for their proper operation, but which present a real danger in the event of a shock. You are most exposed to this risk as a practitioner on the device. You must therefore protect yourself, consequently, using adequate equipment that meets standards. And you must protect yourself by never placing yourself in an at-risk situation. Your behaviour determines the risk you take.
  • Except for kite surf boards, equip your board, at all times, with a leash that is at least equal to the length of the board, as well as foot straps. These elements make it possible not to completely release the board in the direction of other users. Never move in a distance that is less than the length of your leash plus that of the board plus your centreboard should you fall amongst other practitioners. You must never bring a third party into this diameter which forms the area in which your activity presents risk.
  • Only practice in spots that are conducive for the activity (secure water entry, lack of shore break, regular bottom, orientation adapted the wind direction, etc.) and not frequented by practitioners of other nautical sports. A foil’s speeds require that the solo practitioner or one amongst multiple foil practitioners move in an environment where each person anticipates and has awareness of the others’ trajectories.
  • Scrupulously follow the rules of priority, especially since inertia and manoeuvrability are different from traditional media, above all for beginners. Courtesy and the sense of responsibility must be part of your practice so as not to create deviant behaviour that might lead to an accident.
  • Pay attention to the other practitioners, and generally speaking, to all users of the water body, even if they do not have priority in your area of movement (they may, among other things, underestimate your speed and your danger zone). Never practice around children or people who are unfamiliar with the sport, as their reactions might be completely unpredictable. You would be fully liable. GONG SUP will do everything in its power to alert you to the risks and explain to you the practical framework that we recommend. You cannot ignore these instructions as this would endanger you and everyone else, and jeopardize the GONG SUP brand which is a responsible company.
  • Pay attention to the water depth, since the presence of an appendage with several tens of centimetres below a beach vehicle is a new data point for a good number of practitioners, even those familiar with watersports. Breakage associated with pressure against or striking the bottom is not covered by the warranty.
  • Maintain and check your equipment regularly, and make no technical modification to it other than products and solutions sold by GONG-GALAXY. Never sharpen the trailing edges, as they would become cutting both for you and for the leash, thereby no longer holding onto the board!

It is highly recommended that you begin foil practice in an appropriate pedagogical setting, by means of an accredited club or school, that you read all of her articles on the GONG forum. This is to allow you to acquire an appropriate level of self-sufficiency and a real knowledge of the stakes in the practice of foil.
