Program:

The 100% surf evolution of the magical glide of the Ypra front wings.

Presentation:

The Ypra Surf is the front wing dedicated to professional level wave riding. 

The Ypra ranges have been developed to meet the needs of our team riders who exclusively use production models on the World Tour. As the disciplines specialize with the evolution of the sport, the characteristics of these front wings have been refined to offer THE best front wing for each use. 

This Ypra Surf has therefore taken up all the qualities of the Ypra-S, our best-selling front wing with multiple world titles to its name, but by concentrating its developments fully to wave riding. 

The aspect ratio has been slightly reduced to be more radical in the waves. Rail to rail is more lively and fluid at the same time. Low speed tolerance is also reinforced. 

The very fast but slightly more generous profile provides the necessary roundness for a full-on surf program. The speed range is much larger, which allows you to achieve all types of carves and moves. 

The balance between wingspan, chord length and thickness maximizes maneuverability to focus solely on each surf move. 

The gain in tolerance greatly boosts its take-off, pop and re-pop qualities. The Ypra Surf offers a lot of lift, while maintaining an incredible top speed. 

The range develops wingspans from S to XL in surfaces from 600 cm2 to 900 cm2 to maintain a span and aspect ratio perfectly suited to its world-class surf program.

Everything is intended for surfing on this new Ypra:

  • A more centered volume to favor rail to rail.
  • A smaller wingspan for the same surface area for more responsiveness.
  • A more pronounced profile thickness for better low end and for more forgiveness in surfing.
  • An insane capacity to accelerate with perfect control to always surf with confidence.
  • A glide as impressive as ever.


Your benefits are clear:

  • A shape that’s multiple World Champion 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 incomparable stiffness of high modulus carbon!
  • Full Option finishing at a great price.
  • A light and solid foil with one of the best technos on the market!!!
  • An incredible price that can only be explained by our direct relationship with you. Simple maintenance and easy repairs.

Shape
Outline


Compared to the Ypra-S, the chord is more important in the center for an equivalent wingspan. This further recenters the surface under the rider’s feet to favor pivot. The rail to rail is boosted, the radius of curvature in turns is ultra short.

 

Profile

The profile of the Ypra is thin and set back, which considerably reduces high speed turbulence. Thus the stab is less stressed and the front and rear downforce remains almost constant even at very high speed. This is an essential point to obtain a foil that is perfectly docile at high speed.

The thickness of the profile of the Ypra Surf is slightly more pronounced than on the Ypra-S. The wing remains thin and fast but we gain tolerance and accessibility for advanced level riders. This additional thickness reduces the technicality of the Ypra-S to promote even more responsiveness in rail to rail.

The supercritical profile is hollow as it approaches the trailing edge to make the water flow as cleanly as possible. Less drag equals more speed and less unpredictable behavior.

Camber

The moderate omega camber, common to the Ypra-S, Surf and Surf-Freestyle, allows perfect control of the heeling of the foil. The rail to rail is very natural and you have perfect grip while carving. 

Thanks to this camber which makes the Ypra-S so successful, the tips are further away from the surface of the water, which allows you to engage clearly in turns. 

The wing returns to horizontal at the tips to provide stability and a predictable behavior at high speed, essential when the waves are powerful.

Front Wing Carbon HM Technology

High Module Carbon offers unparalleled rigidity, representing the pinnacle of performance in our most advanced wings and masts, which face the most demanding structural constraints.

By combining High Module with Intermediate Module, we offer the best performance at the best price.

The products have no flex, the 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 possible weight.

Each layer of carbon 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 carbon. The foam core, seeking to expand under the heat, ensures even compression between the carbon layers, ensuring 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 ?

This wing is aimed at experienced riders who love surfing and high-speed carves.

If you already have a good technical background in foiling, especially in surfing, you don’t need to be a pro to surf with it, even if it’s the one used by our pro team on the World Tour!

For what ?

Surf and move at high speed on the water, do jumps and maneuvers in the waves.

It is made to take your wave riding to another level. Its ability to move at high speed combined with its maneuverability and glide give you more tools to position yourself perfectly on the wave.

How to choose Ypra shape ?

The Ypra is the one which will have the highest top speed, clearly the fastest, with a high aspect ratio which also ensures the best hold on long speed runs and the best upwind performance. Its discipline is long distance racing, or simply to be the fastest on the spot.

The Ypra-S (S for Slalom) is the most versatile of all. It’s thing is going fast and turning short. The Ypra-S therefore has a top speed that remains high, plus surfing and freestyle capabilities that are benchmarks. A do-it-all front wing for experienced riders who want to progress in all areas.

The Ypra Surf, if your goals in each session are focused on surfing, the Ypra is made for you. The Ypra Surf takes the genes of the Ypra-S, but its shape is revisited to push the surfing cursor even further with more torque, better rail to rail, and an even tighter carving radius.

The Ypra Surf-Freestyle, which takes the shape of the Ypra Surf but with a fitting shortened by 5cm, is certainly the most responsive in the range. It’s all about the pop and the moves you can link together in surfing: it’s the 100% tricks wing of the range.

Which fuselage ?

For the Ypra, Ypra-S and Ypra Surf, you can use a Pro Alu or Titanium fuselage. You can also increase the angle of your stab with a Pro Alu 1° fuselage.

For the Ypra Surf-Freestyle, its shorter fitting being specific, you will need a short titanium fuselage specially designed for it.

Which stab ?

For the stab, choose a size close to that of your front wing. The Fluid H stab is the reference stab for the Ypra Surf for magical carves. This is the one that optimizes your surfing for sure. But you can refine the feeling of your foil with different stabs: the Veloce H for maximum speed or the Freestyle stab for maximum pop and tight turns.

What size?

Small wings are suitable for very high speeds and strong wind. The bigger ones are more comfortable, take off earlier and are also designed to sail at high speeds. The criterion of choice is not only the size of the foiler. The use, conditions and level of the rider must also be taken into account.

The S has a 70 cm wingspan, 600 cm² and is 1.0 cm thick for a volume of 0.32L.

  • In surf foiling, it is a very small wing that can be suitable for professionals. Program: maximum speed and long tow-in carves in solid conditions.
  • In wing foiling, it is small and reserved for stormy weather and hollow waves.
  • In kite foiling, it’s great for blasting full speed and carving. The wingpsan remains manageable.

The M has a 75 cm wingspan, 700 cm² and is 1.1 cm thick for a volume of 0.40L.

  • In surf foiling, it is a small wing that can be suitable for professionals of average size. Program: maximum speed and big, very stable carves in tow-in.
  • In wing foiling, this is a key size for light riders who will make it their go-to foil for most of their sessions.
  • In kite foiling, it is wide, so for light wind conditions only.

The L has a 80 cm wingspan, 800 cm² and is 1.1 cm thick for a volume of 0.48L.

  • In surf foiling, it is a small wing that can be suitable for pros of a good size. Program: maximum speed and big, very stable carves in tow-in.
  • In wing foiling, this is a size for the majority of riders, the perfect size for most wave sessions.
  • In kite foiling, it’s too wide, to forget.

The XL has a 85 cm wingspan, 900 cm² and is 1.2 cm thick for a volume of 0.58L.

  • In surf foiling, it is an intermediate size wing which is suitable for light riders to surf long, sometimes hollow waves. Those with the strongest cardio will be able to return to the peak!
  • In wing foiling, it is a wing that takes off easily for its surface, its additional lift allows surfing in softer conditions for the majority of riders.
  • In kite foiling, it’s too wide, to forget.

Quiver partners ?

It will be perfect with a short and narrow board like the Lethal FSP Pro. Paired with a Neutra wing, it will be an incredible wave riding kit.

Positioning of the foil ?

If you’re a beginner in foiling, 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.

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.
