The Wing Plus

The Plus 2023 makes you progress faster than any other wing.

First thanks to its record lightness which allows an easy and very comfortable handling. You don’t get tired with the Plus. All maneuvers are easier with this featherweight wing.

Then thanks to its power at the heart of the profile which allows you to fly within two pumping strokes to discover wing foiling without having to be overpowered. We progress with confidence in a pleasant wind range.

Finally, thanks to the smooth feel of the Plus 2023 which absorbs wind gusts like no other with its dynamic twisting that retains the air in the low range and releases the power in the high range. Magical.

It’s no mystery, the number of hours of practice makes the difference in your progression. So when learning you need a wing that gets you flying early, handles gusts smoothly and is easy to handle .

When progressing, solidity is a crucial point. The Plus is light but really strong. First, thanks to the premium materials we use. Then thanks to the quality of assembly which ensures record breaking strength. Finally by a clever design which positions the seams in a way that stiffens the wing but also limits tearing in the event of a contact with the foil. Note that the bladder is easier to access at the tips if you ever need to change it.

The evolution of the 2023 models is truly incredible. Handling and accessibility are boosted. Steering the wing is really more comfortable and more intuitive; be it for your first flights or your first tricks.

In high performance, the Plus compares to the best wings, namely since its thing is to do everything well and easily. Which gives it incredible potential that a rider like Malo will demonstrate with huge front flips in 15 knots with a 5m2. Crazy potential.

The Plus 2023 is the most versatile wing to date.

The Board

The HIPE Perf is a super simple and at the same time very scalable foil board.

It will accompany you for a very long time in your progression because its stable shape helps you in the complicated phases. So you will not hesitate to try new things.

The big advantage of this board is to make the pre-flight efforts less intense. It is therefore perfect for beginners and to accelerate progression.

Its thin nose allows you to push it in freestyle tricks, to go for speed runs without being encumbered, and to surf swell bumps or waves with a very lively board.

The HIPE Perf is the result of a very big development, merging the best of high-end composite and inflatable tech. It is made using our welded double-layer Woven Dropstitch technology which offers the right shape and volume, combined with our carbon plate which takes up all the efforts of the foil. This GONG innovation of two boards in one is revolutionary.

The full composite plate is firmly glued under the inflatable structure. This piece, composed of 1.9 kg of pure prepreg carbon and two foam stringers, is a jewel of composite know-how. By its design, it mechanically provides precisely what it takes to be as rigid as a classic board, without increasing the total weight.

Tested by the Team in all conditions, the HIPE has never shown the slightest weakness even in 45kts or in the tropics in Tahiti. Thanks to 4 entries on the foil boxes corresponding to the positions of the screws on the plate, the new ICS Pro carbon plate facilitates the assembly and adjustment of the foil. Performance without the hassle. We leave the squares and the screws on the plate, we insert and screw and let’s go! The HIPE Perf comes with our Smart Connection System (SCS) made of paired brass inserts. Setting up the foil is much faster and easier. It is the plug and play solution which facilitates settings!

 

 

In order to offer maximum performance, the HIPE Perf is equipped with the new GONG 2023 straps, a V-shape at the front and simple at the back. These ergonomic and lightweight straps have been specially developed for the practice of wing foiling. Your front foot is well centered for surfing, for example. The heel/toe feeling is perfect. And they are very easy to put on / take off.

It is the versatile board that can be used in several disciplines.

  • In wing foiling, this is the perfect board to get started and progress. The volume is super generous, allowing you to use short lengths. And we’ve created two large sizes in 6’5 and 7’5 with an “ADS” fin box cleverly placed in front of the front foot to allow you to ride on the water without going downwind. This fin combined with your foil gives you a real grip to go upwind without flying. You can start off gently, without the stress of having to fly imperatively. The small sizes offer the highest level of performance in inflatable boards. It’s incredibly efficient, to the point that it’s hard to tell the difference in performance compared to a rigid board, except a few hundred grams more.
  • In SUP foiling, all these sizes and volumes will allow you to find your own. The take-off is as early as with a Zuma, the piloting is precise thanks to our carbon plate, and you can connect 4 or 5 waves per take off as long as you have the cardio. It’s really impressive. Strapless only.
  • In surf foiling, small sizes are perfect, especially the smallest one. It’s hard to tell the difference with a rigid one, except on very sharp sensations. But to fly, do cool carves and connect the whole set, it’s great!!! Strapless only.
  • Same in kite foiling, the smallest sizes will give you the ideal compromise between comfort and performance. A real revolution with the rear footstrap.
  • Finally in wake foiling, the HIPE Perf is just brilliant. It’s clearly the perfect board because it’s really easy to handle on board, never hurting the boat or the passengers. The board really feels flawless on the water as its proximity to a rigid board is so important, with all the advantages of an inflatable board (especially in wipeouts). Inflated in 1 minute, the 4’8 is essential in wake.

3D View

 

GONG has truly revolutionized the world of foil boards with the HIPE. The Perf version offers maximum advantages and minimum constraints.

Advantages are numerous:

  • Ease of use, on land but also in the water.
  • Transport of course.
  • Solidity because the inflatable is not sensitive to shocks.
  • Safety if you fall on your board.
  • 95% of the performances of a rigid board.

The foil

This foil Rise is the easiest to progress in wing foiling.

Generous but without excess, they fly at very low speed, which is reassuring and allows you to complete maneuvers without being afraid. No need to overspeed to enjoy the Rise, you fly relaxed and you feel comfortable very quickly.

The low ratio naturally reduces speed and increases tolerance. It’s ideal for feeling safe. The foil does not start at 25 knots as soon as you climb on it to catapult you into an uncontrollable fall. On the contrary, the Rise is gentle and simple. Be careful, it’s quite fast enough for a beginner because it will naturally go much faster than a surfboard! It’s not a turtle ? It’s simply adapted to the needs of a beginner who will regularly fly at very low speeds due to mistakes. And there the Rise will save you from losing the flight.

A super reassuring wing in flight, but also in handling, so that your beginnings are really simple.

Equipements :

  • The foil consists of a Rise Front Wing L or XL with a 45 cm Rise Stabilizer.
  • The 80cm Allvator Original aluminum mast and the fuselage will offer you nice perfs for an ultra tight price.
  • The 4-hole plate, with standard center distances, will offer you a perfect connection between your foil and your board.
  • The complete screw kit with tightening key is supplied. Everything is delivered in a very practical transport bag to store and transport your dismantled foil.

Shape

Wing Plus

On the Plus 2023, the hollow is quite important in the center for power, the tips twist in gusts and its size is reducedto the maximum to facilitate learning.

The new leading edge segmentation includes a short (of a large diameter) center section to stiffen the dihedral. This also reinforces the connection between the strut and the leading edge, which blocks all deformations and this unpleasant feeling of seeing the leading edge twist leeward at the strut. The strut and the leading edge stay in the original plane, even if you pull hard. We really jump higher, further , we go faster and it accelerates hard!
A second section has been added to optimize the performance of the profile thanks to a more progressive cut in the front of the shape. The profile is softer, slightly more hollow in front, more domed. We no longer have the impression that the wing sometimes cavitates.

The Plus 2023 has a new smoother angulation between the leading edge segments to limit flex with moderate diameters, while allowing the wing to breathe more.

The diameter of the segments at the tips of the Plus 2023 has been reduced to offer a more tolerant, softer wing, with a natural glide. The tips are also closed in and slightly twisted, which reduces the wingspan by 20cm, keeps them away from the water in all three axes and guarantees efficient pumping.
It is for sure the easiest wing for beginners but not only.

The 2023 Plus has an all new central Z batten shape. The assembly of the panels is now perpendicular to the strut, like the leading edge, which makes it much stronger at high pressure. The connection with the new central segments is firmer. The central third is studied so as not to bend between the hands. Because it is between the hands that a large part of flexing develops, loosening the trailing edge. We blocked this point for more power and precision of the wing.
Finally, the rear third of the batten is sewn directly into the canopy without using an extra panel for the hollow. This increases the batten section at the back hand and gives it greater resistance to leeward bending. The strut is twice as stiff, guaranteeing a constant shape in jumps or gusts. The rear hand acts directly on the trailing edge thanks to a diagonal cut on the last section of the central strut. Thus the rear point of the rear handle is placed after the start of this wide cone, pulling on the rear hand closes the strut instead of letting it open on the classic struts. This reduces flapping and delivers an impressive power. The stiffness gained allows you to control the wing with great finesse and brings consistency in its behavior.

The wing PLUS 2023 is tolerant, easy and super efficient in pumping. You will take off early from the first pumping strokes and it will facilitate the frequent relaunches when you’re learning.

Many good riders make it their wing of choice for its versatility and lightness.

HIPE Perf

  • Rocker: fairly flat to start early and glide well before the flight.
  • Rails: round because inflatable, very efficient.
  • Volume: very generous for each size.
  • Outline: semi-compact for a good glide even when not flying.
  • Tail: large rounded square tail for stability when at standstill and to boost take off.
  • Nose: round point nose.

Innovation is at the core of our products

Wing

 

It benefits from the strongest construction on the market. And yet it is lighter! While nothing is indestructible, we still want wings capable of coping with the worst treatments and equipping the best riders.

The work on the structure and the distribution of materials has made it possible to lighten our 2023 range significantly: 400g less on a 5m², it’s absolutely crazy! The difference is mindblowing from the get go!

The 100 microns TPU bladders are more durable than the competition, which often uses 60 or 80 microns TPU bladders, which is much more tearable. At GONG it’s solid and repairable.

Our canopy is of triple Ripstop on the entire surface. Firstly because the feeling is much stiffer, firmer. Then because it is the best against tearing without affecting lightness. Three large-diameter fibers reinforce the fabric at regular intervals and in two 90° axes. This mesh reinforces the fabric against hits.

The skeleton, leading edge and central batten, are Dacron DP175LL, the world reference for Dacron. It’s the most proven Dacron material on the market, and the most expensive. Rigid and resistant, it is perfect to get excellent performance for as long as possible. It is also easy to find for discreet repairs.

The support straps of the handles and the harness line take up all the load of the rider and diffuse this effort around the entire circumference of the central batten. It is clearly the most durable : both for huge one-time loads, and for long term use beyond 12 months.

The seams are further reinforced on all our 2023 models. First those of the batten which are now like those of the leading edge and therefore capable of withstanding enormous pressure. Then in the canopy with panel cutouts that take advantage of the direction of the seams to improve the wing’s rigidity.

We are the opposite of the basic wing technology of low cost brands. Our low prices can only be explained by the absence of intermediaries. Our wings are built according to the rules of the art, to last and endure the usual constraints of this new sport.

At GONG our wings are top of the range and if by bad luck you were to break them, they are repairable from A to Z with the components that we keep in stock for your favorite repairer.

HIPE PERF

 

With its top of the range inflatable technology in doubled layered welded Woven Dropstitch, this GONG board is beautiful, light, very rigid and really solid. Made in the best factory in the world, with the densest, premium Woven Dropstitch, we are sure its bonds will last for years, with no leakage or deformation

The advantages of inflatable technology

  • Woven Drop Stitch technology double layer welded.
  • Air pressure: 15 to 20 psi.
  • Transport: the board fits in a bag.
  • Practical: inflates in 2 minutes.
  • Aesthetics: The result is very beautiful.
  • Strong: great resistance to mistreatment.
  • Durable: 100% repairable.

The HIPE are the best, yet still accessible with our direct sales distribution that does not add margins. We are far from the low cost boards made in low end factories by people who know nothing about it.

The performances of carbon

  • ICS Full composite prepreg plate.
  • High density foam stringers to limit flex and weight.
  • US rails machined directly from carbon: incredible performance.
  • Unmatched rigidity on the market.
  • Unparalleled dynamism and responsiveness.
  • A foil + inflatable set without any loss of sensations!

GONG is a serious and renowned brand, creator of the concept of an inflatable foil board coupled to a carbon plate. An invention that revolutionized the world of foil boards. A unique know-how acquired through a real R&D process.

An innovative board thought out in the last detail

  • PVC reinforcement under the plate to protect the board with an extra layer.
  • PVC reinforcement on the plate to protect the carbon and the glue from the heat, and distribute the forces as far away as possible on the plate to avoid detachment.
  • Double non-opening brass inserts connected by a carbon fiber rod to screw the foil easily and without the risk of drilling the board.
  • The 2023 light V-shaped strap, the 2023 large light symmetrical strap and the screw kit are offered with the board.

 

 

The shape of our carbon plate is the result of advanced engineering to combine low weight and incredible mechanical performance.

The rectangular outline ensures that the heels are always vertical to the plate, and therefore block longitudinal, lateral flexions and twist.

To optimize the weight, the glide and the management of these flexions, our plate has a unique 3D volume:

  • A beam at the axis prevents any bending.
  • A very smooth drop in volume towards the front reduces the thickness and therefore the weight, while retaining the necessary mechanics to support the pressures of the front heel.
  • At the back, the drop in volume is more brutal to recover the verticality which will support the beam effect of the plate even more.
  • The whole is “fluidized” according to a hydrodynamic study of the flows which also promotes speed in contact with water, which is valuable before flying but also to avoid a big loss of speed when touching the water surface

 

Your benefits are clear:

1. An efficient shape created by one of the leaders in the world wing foiling.
2. A design at the cutting edge of R&D and ahead of its time.
3. Proven construction on thousands of boards.
4. Full Options finish at a great price.
5. A light, solid board with one of the best technos on the market !!!
6. An incredible price that can only be explained by our direct relationship with you.
7. Simple maintenance and easy repairs because we have all components in stock.

Foil

Our Rise wings are made of 80% Fiberglass and 20% Prepreg 3K Carbon, with over 15 layers of fiber in total. An economical fiberglass-dominated technology that has excellent mechanical properties and allows for a very rigid stab at a great price. 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 are practically indestructible. Both rigid and floating, they are the perfect balance between contained weight and infinite durability.

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 to replace 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 full range of use of the foil in every sport and at every level.

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?

Wing Plus

Designed for beginners but also for experts, the Plus wing is really perfect to discover this sport and progress quickly.

But it is also suitable for the more experienced because its power to weight ratio is the best in the range. This is an incredible asset in a lot of situations, in freeride, freestyle, and also in the waves. And with its well placed hollow, it is game on in freerace.

Board

Whether you’re a beginner or wanting something cooool, it’s a hassle-free board. It’s soft and easy, yet very efficient.

Its role is to make your life easier. So, a pro will surely prefer a board that’s more radical but it will make the happiness of thousands of practitioners in search of simplicity, security, without sacrificing performance.

  • In wing, the HIPE Perf is the super accessible board for a beginner. Large sizes are magic for your beginnings: zero stress. In large volumes it is easy, but in small sizes you need to have a good physical condition or to be light.

Foil

You can start smoothly with this foil. Everything is simpler and safer. And in case of breakage you have all the spare parts for a ridiculous price.

For what?

Wing Plus

Clearly its role is to facilitate your first year of wing foiling.

But it is also the most versatile wing offering a high level of performance in all registers:

  • It takes off early.
  • It holds far in the high end.
  • It is super maneuverable, and so light.
  • It sails upwind and flies downwind like a slalom sail!

Light, powerful, easy, it has all the qualities to bring you to a good level and even much further.

Board

The HIPE is the ultimate board to progress without complicating your life, almost up to the best level. It is therefore limitless.

  • With a wing, it’s really the easiest board in the world in its bigger sizes, without being an anvil. It’s great for boosting your progression. In small sizes we’re in the high level of performances for transitions, speed, course, curves and tricks.

Foil

This is the foil for beginners, but also for progression. It’s not just a school foil that will peak at your fifth semester.

Flat on the water, you pick up a bit of speed, you sheet in twice on the wing and you can fly. The Rise Foil settles quietly at 10 knots, it goes through all the slack and you can head upwind easily. But if you sheet in, it will go through the 20 knots, still smoothly.

In surfing it’s very simple, soft and easy to handle. Really easy to hook, hard to stall, it is a model of tolerance based on proven profiles in the world of military aviation.

When pumping, you have lift. It’s not a fast foil, but our many videos testify to its qualities. You will pump in a slow rhythm, more on the legs than on the cardio. And above all without error, because the most energy consuming part in pumping are errors.

What size?

Wing Plus

When learning, in 99% of the cases you go for a 5m² . Its ideal range is from 15 knots to 25 knots. Once in flight with a 15 knots gust, you will easily hold the flight in 12 knots. A pro will keep flying in 8knts lulls when pumping, the wind range is absolutely huge :

 

Don’t overestimate the power of wings. The ambient blah blah would have you believe that you will have fun with a 4m² in 12 knots, even 8 knots… It is really just BS to make you get a cheaper wing and make you believe that this sport is magic.

The reality is that for a 85kg winger, you need 15/20 knots with a 5m² to fly to get flying the first times. After about 15 sessions, you will fly at 15 knots with a 5m². And if you’re athletic, pumping hard can make you take off at 12 knots in 5m² and hold the flight through 8 knots lulls. All this can be learned and requires practice.

Board

 

In wing foiling, you can take it very generous if you are a beginner. And if you already have a good level, you will on the contrary go for a limited volume by following the same rule as in SUP foiling below.

Remember that your weight plus 40 gives the minimum total liters to start, and your weight plus 20 is ideal at a good level. Below, the performance gain is worth less in regards to the generated problems. You are going to swim more 😉

A small chart that sums it all up

Foil

In light wind, we tend to think that the bigger the more efficient. With some nuances, yes that is the rule.

In a steady wind:

  • The L is for riders under 75kg.
  • The XL is for riders over 75kg.

Remember to play on the stabs to have more or less ease and speed as you progress.

Understanding the GONG range?

We can sum up very simply the concepts of each board in our range:

  • HIPE: the inflatable with 95% of the performance of the stiff. Ideal for beginners and much more!
  • HIPE PRO: the inflatable with 95% of the performance of a rigid board in a shape dedicated to experienced foilers that want maximum fluidity and reactivity.
  • MOB 2TASTE: three sports in one board: SUP, SUP foil and wing.
  • ZUMA: the easy rigid board in SUP foil and wing, and with good performances.
  • LANCE: the compact Zuma, very stable sideways, ideal for wing.
  • FLINT: high performances in SUP foil, top in wing because it is simple and efficient in light wind.
  • KUBE: pure wing freestyle board. Minimum length for maximum rotation.
  • MINT: compact without the difficulty with its round nose, but excellent performances.
  • LEMON: maximum reactivity and liveliness, while maintaining lateral stability.
  • LETHAL: Absolute radicality among volume boards.

Some will go for even more extreme low volume boards like:

  • CATCH KITE FOIL: it works as well in kite as in wing with a bigger wing to have power.
  • MATATA SURF FOIL: asymmetrical straps and minimum length to dare everything.
  • LETHAL SURF FOIL: asymmetrical straps and minimum width to dare everything.

Best Quiver choices?

Wing Plus

The Wing Plus is the most versatile wing in the range so it matches perfectly with a HIPE, a Zuma, a Lance but also with a Mob 2Taste, a Flint, a Mint, a Kube, a Lemon or the Lethal according to your style and your desires. On the foil side, the Allvator Aluminum wing foils with the Rise, X-Over and Curve front wings will make the magic combo for easy beginnings and sessions.

Needless to say, the Plus 2023 is popular!

Board

The HIPE Perf is really an easy and all-round foil board. So, it’s going to find a large place in your sessions and a small one in the back of your car.

You can of course complete it with a range of Stand-Up Paddleboards without a foil. And also, surf boards for those days when the waves are unsuitable for foiling.

Foil

The Rise wing foil is ideal for beginners. It will therefore marry wonderfully with a HIPE, a Lance or a Zuma.

Positioning of the foil ?

For GONG foils, place the plate in the center of the US rail box. The further you move it forward, the more it raises the board.

The further you move it backwards, the more the nose of the board pearls.

Be careful not to move it too far forward. We often tend not to let the back foot work enough, especially when we come from kite foiling. However, moving the foil back a little, forces more weight on the back foot and gives a more harmonious attitude and reduces efforts.

Which Leash?

Wing

Take a 5′5 to 8′ Wing Leash in light wind and a 10′ Leash in strong wind. Preferably a model dedicated to the Wing and of telephone type. A short leash allows you to resume the Wing quickly.

A long leash protects the Wing from the foil falling into the canvas by letting it go further.

Check its condition before each session and change it every year. This is your lifejacket.

Don’t let your wing flap in the wind at the end of the Leash, it is not unbreakable! Also in waves, do not hold your wing by the Leash, it will explode or you will hurt yourself.

Board

Take a 6′ of 7mm minimum diameter.

Check its condition before each session and change it every year. It’s your life jacket.

Strap or Strapless? 2 or 3 straps?

When using the HIPE with a wing

Riding strapless is sexy because it makes you feel free. But quite honestly, it’s not the best for performance…

So, it’s up to you to see if sensation prevails over performance. On a HIPE, we’re clearly going to miss a big part of its potential without straps.

With straps, you’ll have much more control and much less risk of the foil flipping over under your feet. When you are getting into wing foiling, the V front straps are an essential benchmark to position your feet properly. You save a lot of time.

In the waves, it’s obvious, you gain a lot with straps, including the rear strap. You can recover from crazy situations just by pulling up on your feet. And what to say in the tricks: the catalog is multiplied tenfold with the straps. All jumps are possible, and the cushioning of the inflatable is magic for the knees ?

Take your first steps with just the V front straps. You can mount the rear strap because it will make a good mark to wedge your foot just in front, and a good grip. But don’t put it on at first. Once you are comfortable in flight, remember to move the foil back 2cm to get used to the rear strap.

Good to Know:

Never leave your board in the sun, even less an inflatable board, and even less a black carbon plate that will heat up very quickly. You might see it peeling off!!!

Don’t screw further than the bottom of the box, otherwise you’ll get into the skin of the inflatable. We deliver US squares with no opening, but be careful.

Never let your foil board get mistreated in the waves, especially close to the shore. You must protect it from major forces. A wave that carries your board away and rolls it away can do a lot of damages.

Included equipments

Wing Plus

The handles of the V2 are thin and rigid. The gain in comfort is sensational and is noticeable from the get go. The piloting is even more precise. The V2 is built with 3 handles on the central strut and one on the leading edge.

  • The windows considerably reduce the risk of collision. For us this is fundamental. At the beginning you will surely be too busy trying to control everything and not using them, but very soon it will be the safety ally of your jibes. And our window PVC is super strong, no stress.
  • Always two fiber battens on the Pulse V2, but in 2021 you insert them by the trailing edge like on a classic sail. The performance gain with the battens is clear in the high range. But you can remove them in the low range.
  • The new inflation / deflation valves are used directly with the end of the hose. No more incompatible or lost nozzles !
  • The large inflation/deflation valve on the leading edge is doubled on the central strut for immediate deflation and storage. Still in one pump mode, you inflate through the leading edge in seconds. Then open the two large valves to deflate everything instantly.
  • 3 harness fixing points are placed on the central strut of the V2 wings (1 single point on the front and 2 positions to choose from on the rear). Everyone will find their balance for endless sessions with a performant and powerful wing.
  • High quality wing bag, with thick foam padding and large U shaped opening for no-hassle packing.
  • Repair kit.

HIPE

  • Composite plate ICS.
  • V-shaped GONG footstrap light 2023 (screws included).
  • Large symmetric GONG footstrap light 2023 (screws included).
  • Pad hard brush 5 mm : revêtement de pont conçu pour un grand confort et une adhérence absolue.

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:

  • All quantities of the batch are sold (most common reason). In this case, orders placed for the first container will be delivered as scheduled.
  • 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 Board:

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.

 

Reception of your wing:

Upon delivery, simply check the condition of your package in the presence of the carrier. A full explanatory email on the procedure to follow will be sent to you when your order is shipped.

Despite our requirements and all the care we take in the packaging and protection of your product, transport hazards can happen, even if it concerns less than 2% of everything we ship around the world, your product may suffer more or less significant transport damage.

Note that the wings are protected in their box so they can handle shocks. If your package contains only one wing and it is only slightly crushed, there is little risk of damage to the wing.

But in any case don’t worry, if you have any doubts, all you have to do is refuse the delivery, and a new package will be reshipped 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.

For each situation, contact us by our contact form to help you.

Warning

When you practice Foil you expose yoursef to possible serious Risks. A poor mastering of a Foil can expose you to Cuts and/or Serious Bodily Harm, even Death for youself and possibley others around you.

Foiling should be practiced, in all circumstances, by taking precautions and taking into cosideration all that is involved and associated with SURF/SUP sports. Remember that a Foil is long and has an edge that could cause slicing and is capable of reaching very high speeds. Getting hit by a Foil, or hitting another, can incrue dramatic and highly unwanted consequences.

Always Foil far from others, and in waters that are secure and without obstacle.

Always wear a helmet and protective vest that assures Floatability. Always wear a full body Neoprane Wetsuit.

When handling and manipulating a Foil be careful not to cut yourself along its edges.

GONG does Not Accept and Declines any and all responsability in case of accident that implicates a GONG Foil. The practicing of this sport and the use of our equipment makes the user fully resposable for his/her actions while being a Foil User.

Warning

You must read the detailed user manual completely before using your Wing for the first time.

Be sure to have a full understanding of it. Wings can be dangerous depending on their size and the strength of the wind. You have to check the wind range of your wing so that it corresponds with conditions and your actual skill level.

For the first few sessions, never use your new Wing in its high wind range. Use your Wing in a secure environment. Take the necessary time to learn how to handle the equipment under optimum safety conditions. Never underestimate the traction power of your Wing. Even a beginner’s Wing can develop a pulling force of several hundred kilos depending on its size and the strength of the wind. Do not overestimate your abilities. Misuse can cause serious injury or death to the practitioner or others. Do not use your Wing at sea in offshore winds. Use your Wing equipped with a leash. Be careful to avoid any collision. Be extremely careful if you sail with your Wing and a board equipped with a foil. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage or damage caused by improper use of the Wing or carelessness of the user.

Dry your wing ?

Unless you end your session with a long ride in the sun and land on a pontoon, it’s rather rare to get out of the water with a completely dry wing. ? Note that there is no need to dry your wing if it is to be used regularly in salt water, as the salt protects the materials from mold.

If, however, for transport or storage reasons you want to dry them, you must absolutely avoid hanging the deflated wing by the handle on the leading edge. It’s however very practical but it is the best way to obtain a hernia on the central strut at the junction with the leading edge following the collapse of the bladder inside. The bladders are movable in the strut and the leading edge. So if you hang it up deflated to dry, the bladder can slip, or even crumple, in the strut sleeve.

So ideally, you dry your inflated wing in the shade, and at worst flat or at least with just the inflated central strut.

Find all our How to : Dry your wing

How to inflate your wing?

Inflating your wing while it is still rolled can cause movements and twists of the bladder which will have the effect of deforming the inflated wing or causing hernias. It is therefore essential to fully unfold your wing before inflating it using the inflation valve on the leading edge.
