Shape
OUTLINE

With an aspect ratio of 7.0, the Ascent stands out as a very versatile wing, performing excellently across a broad spectrum of conditions for all levels. Its performance is perfectly balanced, providing both a playful feel and fantastic glide. 




The Ascent's crescent outline provides increased maneuverability, allowing the foil to carve effortlessly and stabilize naturally in turns, without losing grip.

VERSATILE PROFILE

Versatility is central to the Ascent's design, which is why we created it with a profile that meets all the requirements of freeride foil activities. The wing is stable, fast, offering great glide and easy pumping.


HIGH DIHEDRAL

In order to provide maximum grip and stability in turns, the dihedral of the Ascent is very pronounced. This results in a high level of confidence and reliability in all conditions, whether in tacks or in maneuvers.

This dihedral also provides comfort on upwind runs, offering a margin to prevent the tips from coming out of the water at the slightest misstep.

FIXED SETTINGS

You will find your settings from the previous version and all GONG foils on your board. 

This balance of forces is precisely calculated to ensure a consistent feel, especially when switching from one front wing to another during a session.

Technology

Introducing the FG technology of the Perf Series foils, a state-of-the-art combination of high-quality Biaxial Prepreg fiberglass and a high-density hydrophobic foam core. The outcome: a rigid, forgiving, and incredibly durable structure, ideal for solid and accessible performance.

Engineered in 3D and digitally optimized, each foil is crafted with extreme precision using hydrodynamic and mechanical simulations. Tested by our Pro Team, this range is proven in real conditions to guarantee smooth performance.

Every stage of production is a work of engineering excellence: 5-axis CNC machining, vacuum compression, thermal molding at 150°C, and ultra-precise finishing. The multidirectional, pre-preg fibers ensure optimal flex and torsion control, offering managed rigidity and enhanced durability with a lightweight design.

Key benefits: waterproof foam, high-quality, resistant fibers, and a design intended to last and be repairable. The FG technology from the Perf Series, endorsed by riders worldwide, is your partner for smooth progression.


A more efficient foil shape

One of the key elements in the evolution of this range is the complete redesign of our foils to increase their structural and hydrodynamic qualities.

The V3 fuselage is:

- faster
- more rigid
- more resistant
- lighter

The new round shape allows a 12% gain in glide and the thicker section approaching the stab increases the strength and rigidity of the foil.

Hours of calculations on extremely powerful computers have allowed us to optimize the smallest detail to maximize performance. The fillets of all our connections have been carefully studied and adjusted to minimize hydrodynamic disturbances and increase the rigidity and resistance of the assembly.

SuperLock self-tightening system

The SuperLock self-tightening front wing connection has been designed to guarantee perfect tightening even after hours long sessions.

The more pressure you put into the front wing, the tighter it fits into the fuselage.

The pressure angle makes it very easy to disassemble the front wing, even after long sessions.
This fitting only requires two screws under the FW, which makes changing the front wing easier and faster.

This tightening principle, already validated for several years on our V2 stabs, is now available in an optimized version on the front wings.

A real plus for daily use!

Image

Retro fitting

The entire range, from the fuselage, to the mast, to the front wing and the stab, has been revised to radically boost the performance of our foils, without being limited by our old connection shapes.

However, this choice to change all of our parts could not be considered without continuing to offer compatibility with our old ranges.

We therefore offer a wide choice of fuselages which gives you the freedom to mix all our masts, front wings and stabs, whatever their generation.

Buying guide

For whom?

For riders with some initial foil experience who want to improve at their own pace, without pressure.

This is the front wing for riders who want solid performance but without stressing out on every acceleration or turn.

So, riders with a good background in board sports, and those who engage in several disciplines, will find the Ascent a fantastic wing that will drive most of their progression to a higher level.

The Ascent could also work for sporty beginners looking for a versatile and progressive wing. However, considering GONG's prices, we suggest choosing a wing that’s specifically tailored to your current skill level (a X-over would be a better choice for beginners).


For what?

The Ascent V3 is the epitome of coolness. Versatile, it excels at everything.

A version of the Curve without the H, it’s a great evolution of the Curve V2 for riders looking for quick progression and adaptability. With all the V3 parts, it offers amazing glide despite a more compact ratio. The perfect choice for having fun and advancing in your progression.

Built for versatile riding, providing excellent stability and maneuverability, along with good speed, it’s the wing that caters to the needs of a wide range of conditions for intermediate riders.

This is the wing for those who don’t want a physical challenge while foiling. It works great, and it’s easy. No need to exhaust yourself pumping or forcing things – it’s a laid-back wing that makes everything you want to do feel awesome.


Which size?

Some general principles for choosing the right front wing size:

Your ideal size will depend on your board, skill level, weight, spot conditions, as well as your board and wing setup.

In wing, all sizes are suitable. The heavier the rider and/or the weaker the wind, the larger the wing size needed. Conversely, lighter riders who are comfortable with take-offs can opt for smaller sizes.

For surf/SUP foil, the goal is to have a surface that’s small enough to turn easily but large enough to offer comfort for take-offs and pumping.

In pumping, you’ll want to go for the largest surface possible to take off without waves or wind. You can reduce the surface as you improve to gain more speed.

In kite, it’s best to avoid wings with more than 74 cm of span, as the counter-tilt is significant and the tips of the foil can easily break the surface. Therefore, wings with a lower aspect ratio are recommended for beginners, as they provide a lot of lift for a limited span.

If you're uncertain about the size to select, feel free to contact our customer service.







Which stab?

We recommend pairing an Ascent stabilizer with your Ascent front wing, as these two components are designed for the same program and optimized to work in perfect harmony.




Some general principles for choosing the right stab size:

The size you choose will depend on your sport, experience level, weight, spot conditions, but MOST OF ALL, on your front wing.

A larger stabilizer will make takeoff easier by generating more torque, which gives the foil a steeper angle of attack. This also leads to a more pronounced feedback under the front foot.

A smaller stabilizer will be more challenging during takeoff but will enhance speed and maneuverability. You’ll also lose some support on the front foot, meaning you may need to shift the foil forward in the box to restore stability.

Always adjust the size of the stabilizer to match the size of the front wing to ensure balanced flight and harmonious functioning between these two components.
