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.

Fiber Glass Stab Technology

The wings, partly made of fiberglass, are thick to ensure easy takeoff. This thickness naturally makes them rigid, and the use of carbon fibers is not justified across the entire wing; we only apply them to critical areas, such as near the connections.

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 pre-impregnated fiber is carefully hand-assembled around a high-density hydrophobic foam core, in a steel mold.

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.

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.
