Foil Front Wing Pro Ypra Race V2
The wings for high pace racing.
Program
The wings for high pace racing.
Introduction
The Ypra front wing is the ultimate wing for racing.
The glide of this front wing is a game changer in the wing foiling world. You feel yourself gliding forward without any restraint at crazy speeds. It’s breathtaking. Its very thin thickness, its really thin leading edge, and its ultra high aspect give you all the cards to set the stopwatches buzzing.
Going fast is one thing, all you need is a tiny front wing and to hold on tight. But with the Ypra you go fast for a long time and on all points of sail. The wing is healthy and ultra stable at high speed. Doing speed runs for miles almost goes without breaking a sweat. You fly at 30 knots as you would fly a more classic wing at 22/25 knots.
The very large wingspan stabilizes the wing. So you can really go for it. The ultra-thin profile will immediately hook on at very high speeds, to the point that a ventilation becomes a non-event. It’s almost unnoticeable in your sailing.
You can go for crazy angles upwind: as if you were kite foiling with a foil kite. It’s unprecedented. And it goes so fast!!! We head upwind like we would never have imagined we could with a wing foil. This is totally new territory.
And then we bear off like crazy. The chop flies by, the foil doesn’t flinch, it’s a real high-speed train. Warning: It’s really scary.
For the first time in Wing foiling, the gear is not limiting in racing. We are really calm at high speed, and it’s only up to you to go for light speed!!!
Understand each wing in detail
The small wings are suitable for very high speeds with crosswind or when bearing off, and the large ones for significant windward and leeward angles, always at high speed. The criteria of choice is therefore not only the size of the foiler, but rather the use.
The XS has a wingspan of 71 cm, 500 cm², 0,9 cm thick for a volume of 0.20L.
- En surf foil, it is a very small wing for pros only in solid tow-in sessions. It’s super fast and the lift is very smooth to stay in control in hollow sections.
- In wing foiling it’s very small but perfect for a lightweight rider of very good level who wants to go fast in strong winds. The top speed is amazing.
- In kite foiling, it is a small wing for a good level rider. It’s very very fast.
The S has a wingspan of 81 cm, 650 cm², 0,9 cm thick for a volume of 0.27L.
- In surf foiling, it is a very small wing for pros only in solid tow-in sessions. It’s super fast and the lift is very smooth to stay in control in hollow sections.
- In wing foiling it’s very small but perfect for a lightweight rider of very good level who wants to go fast in strong winds. The upwind and downwind angles are crazy. The top speed is amazing.
- In kite foiling, it is a small wing for a good level rider. It goes very fast.
The M has a wingspan of 91 cm, 800 cm², 1.0 cm thick for a volume of 0.38L.
- In surf foiling, it is a small front wing which can be suitable for pros looking for maximum speed in DW and pumping. But getting it at cruising speed is a real challenge. Not recommended.
- In wing foiling it is the wing to combine maximum speed and optimum upwind point of sailing. Huge freedom of movement on the body of water and leading performance in racing at all speeds.
- In kite foiling, it’s too wide. The shape is great but the wingspan will too often curl the surface with the angles of a kite foil.

Ratio
The shape of the Ypra is dedicated to pure speed and incredibly fast upwinds. This new front wing is made to win official races or between friends.
The very slender outline of this wing gives it a lot of finesse by reducing the chord and the thickness of the profile. Performance is greatly improved since much less drag is generated, without losing lift at a constant surface. We even gain a little since the profile will fly faster overall, speed being the source of lift.
Profile thickness
The profile is very thin, with an almost sharp attack and a supercritical profile. It’s technical to get to cruising speed and impossible to slow down!!! Supersonic.
Camber
The “omega” shaped camber gives the wing a lot of stability which reassures and allows you to press the accelerator pedal even more.
Max width
The placement of this lift point is constant throughout the range so as to always keep the same setting for the same behavior when changing wing size.
Construction
The highest ratios in our range contain a large number of high modulus carbon layers.
This carbon is 4 to 6 times more expensive than top of the range Prepreg. It provides the essential mechanical rigidity to the proper functioning of these very thin and large foils. Many brands choose to have thicker profiles so as not to use high modulus carbon. Not making this choice allowed us to become world slalom champions with this front wing.
Its high modulus carbon construction is super rigid and responsive. It maintains a formidable dynamic despite the lower thicknesses. This technology is the very best in high pressure, high temperature molded carbon construction
TORAY M40J high modulus carbon offers incredible stiffness. It is a high-end carbon that delivers high mechanical properties while remaining resistant. A carbon popular in aeronautics as well as for high-end sports equipment. Its mechanical characteristics such as its superior tensile strength and Young’s modulus translate to exceptional performance in navigation.
The other layers of these front wings are made of 3K and 12K Prepreg carbon, with a total of over 15 fiber layers on the profile, and many more in the fitting areas.
High stress points such as fittings and connections are reinforced with Kevlar to resist tearing and fiberglass for tolerance. It is essential to place specific fibers according to the different types of stress in addition to the carbon which will produce dynamism.
On the high aspect wings, we have added a central stringer made of full prepreg carbon, which runs from one tip to the other. This acts as a solid beam to boost rigidity, namely by the extreme dynamic connection it provides between the intrado and the extrado.
Molded at high pressure and high temperature on a foam core, our wings are almost indestructible.
It is the perfect balance between low weight and “infinite” durability/repairability.
Wing tips are a potential source of danger. We take care not to produce an intrinsically dangerous design, within the limits of efficient hydrodynamics. We invite you to be extremely careful though because these parts remain sharp and dangerous by nature. Stay away, wear the proper protections, and never sharpen them. Systematically repair the slightest hitch in the outline because it represents a danger for you and others if it were to cut your leash for example. In all situations, the greatest caution is required. If in doubt, abstain (waves, strong wind, etc.). The foil is by nature a dangerous object in the same way as a knife or a chainsaw for example. Never sail alone and without any protection. Do not approach others. And be careful even on land when handling your foil.

Understand our foil range
Quiver partners ?
The YPRA front wing is ideal with technical boards with noble constructions such as the FSP PRO boards.
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. Place it in the middle of the US rails when using it with a wing foil.
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.

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