Program :

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

Presentation :

The Ypra Surf-Freestyle front wing is a machine for wing foiling tricks.

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.

Identical to the shape of the Ypra Surf to excel in wave riding, this Ypra Surf-Freestyle differentiates itself with a front wing fitting that’s 5cm shorter.

⚠ This new fitting is only compatible with the short fuselage, available in titanium for absolute strength.

This reduced front to rear span increases pitch responsiveness for a huge pop and re-pop. Combined with a Freestyle 35 or 37 stab, you obtain record pop and an extremely radical turn radius.

With this short fitting, the mast is set further forward on the lower of the foil. This is much like moving a fin forward on a board. It makes for a gain in maneuverability and more freedom to perform radical maneuvers.

This crazy architecture is the key to Team GONG’s recent success on the World Tour: this is the ultra-efficient and ultra-reactive front wing for scoring big in Surf-Freestyle competitions.

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-freestyle program.

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.

Screws not included, your needs are:

GONG | Foil Allvator Front Wing Ypra Surf-Freestyle
Shape
In a nutshell

Everything is designed for Surf-Freestyle on this new Ypra:

  • A shorter front wing fitting which shortens the lower of the foil and makes it more responsive on all axes.
  • More internal reinforcements to withstand the most violent landings.
  • A more centered volume for more 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.


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-Freestyle 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 freestyle and high-speed carves in surfing.

This means you already have a good technical background in foiling: it’s the freestyle front wing of the pros.

Be careful, you need a high level because this FW combined with a freestyle stab transforms your session into a kangaroo rodeo ride ? Stability is the opposite of its program!

For what ?

Sending tricks, tricks and tricks, and radical surfing in small windy waves.

It is made to take your freestyle game to another level. Its pop is crazy. Everything becomes possible with a board mounted on springs.

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 your front wing in Veloce H for maximum speed, Fluid H for magical carves and Freestyle for maximum pop.

But if you chose the Ypra Surf-Freestyle, a Freestyle stab is a must to maximize the program.

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 an ultra-reactive wing that can be suitable for professionals. Program: maximum speed and ultra radical carves, with an ability to change trajectory almost instantly.
  • In wing foiling, it’s small so either reserved for lightweights, or for pros and powerful waves. Perfect for Big Air in extreme conditions.
  • In kite foiling, it’s great for carving, turning on the spot and doing tricks. The wingspan 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 an ultra-reactive wing for light to medium-sized pros. Program: maximum speed and ultra radical carves, with an ability to change trajectory almost instantly.
  • In wing foiling, this is a key size for light to medium weight riders who will make it their go-to foil for most of their sessions.
  • In kite foiling, it’s great to carve, turn on the spot and send tricks but rather wide, so for light wind conditions only to avoid breaching the tips, unless that’s how you like to ride.

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 reactive wing that can be suitable for professionals of a medium size. Atmosphere: maximum speed and ultra radical carves, with an ability to change trajectory almost instantly.
  • In wing foiling, this is a key size for the majority of riders: the perfect size for most wave riding / freestyle sessions, on the flat or in waves.
  • 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 a responsive and fast wing which keeps a good glide for medium sized riders that engage in radical turns in powerful waves. Those with the strongest cardio will be able to return to the peak easily!
  • In wing foiling, it is a wing that takes off easily for a Pro front wing. Its 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 Droid wing, it will be an incredible Surf-Freestyle 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.

For those used to GONG foils, the short fuselage requires the foil to be moved forward by 3 to 4 cm compared to the classic fuselage.

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.
