PROGRAM
The high-performance foil for powerful waves and demanding riders. With a perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and control, it delivers an extreme surfing experience.
PRESENTATION
The Ypra Surf is the ultimate front wing for riders seeking a radical foil for surfing.
Designed to excel in powerful waves or at high speeds, this wing offers an exceptional blend of glide, maneuverability, and stability, allowing you to push your limits in the most technical conditions.
Thanks to its optimal aspect ratio and thin profile, the Ypra Surf excels in full-speed tacks and under high pressure. It lets you draw radical lines with absolute mastery in the fastest, hollowest sections.
Designed to generate less pop compared to a freestyle wing, it smooths out landings from huge airs by eliminating unnecessary rebound. This feature also enhances control on steep waves, enabling full commitment.
With tips designed entirely for surfing, it delivers outstanding stability, offering exceptional grip and predictable control, even during intense turns. The distinct shape of the tips further enhances acceleration in carves for top-level riders.
The construction of the Pro Team Series range, using high-temperature, high-pressure cured prepreg carbon in steel molds, enhances rigidity, dynamism, and durability under load, while minimizing weight for precise and direct sensations underfoot. This perfect ratio of lightness and stiffness maximizes responsiveness.
Thanks to our technical innovations, such as the ovalized V3 fuselage and the self-tightening connection system, rigidity is maximized and responsiveness is enhanced, delivering top-tier performance and a seamless experience.
For experts seeking a wing that can handle the most intense accelerations, the wildest turns, and the most powerful waves while enhancing every maneuver, the Ypra Surf is the ultimate choice.
The front wing that elevates surfing to the level of art.
OUTLINE
Featuring a balanced ratio of 8.0, the Ypra Surf combines high maneuverability with exceptional glide, enabling riders to maximize their lines in the surf.
The highly curved leading edge and setback tips provide exceptional maneuverability. Even at top speed, the transition into a turn is smooth and fluid. Stability during turns is perfect, with the foil remaining firmly 'planted' throughout the carve.
FAST PROFILE
With its fast profile, the wing can handle extremely high speeds in the most powerful waves. Designed to provide excellent glide and avoid stalling, it turns this wing into a radical waveriding machine.
This is definitely not a profile for casual riding. It's designed to go all out with maximum control, so you never get overwhelmed in a bottom turn or struggle for balance at top speed.
HIGH ANHEDRAL
The Ypra Surf's important anhedral provides exceptional grip. Its carving is strong and sharp, allowing for quick, tight turns with no fear of losing control.
CONSISTENT SETTINGS
We design the lift of our foils so that, with the suggested configuration, the lift point remains consistent. For instance, a Curve M foil with a Curve M stabilizer will be set at the same spot on your board as a Fluid M foil with a Fluid M stabilizer.
You can easily find your settings within a few millimeters based on your feeling on all GONG foils mounted on your board.
The balance of forces is carefully calculated to provide a constant feel, particularly when switching between front wings during a session. But you have the freedom to tweak it by changing the stabilizer or settings to get a different sensation.
Technology
Explore the Carbon technology behind the Team Series foils, an advanced solution that combines high-modulus Prepreg carbon fibers with a high-density hydrophobic foam core. The result: a structure that is incredibly rigid, dynamic, and exceptionally durable, delivering record-level 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.
High-Modulus Carbon delivers unparalleled rigidity, embodying the peak of performance in our most advanced wings and masts, designed to withstand the toughest structural stresses.
These products feature minimal flex, as the fibers are oriented along multiple axes to lock in bending and torsion, ensuring maximum responsiveness.
Thanks to the pre-impregnated fibers, we can ensure optimal resin use, providing perfect cohesion with the lightest possible weight.
Each layer of carbon is CNC-cut and then carefully assembled by hand around a high-density hydrophobic foam core, before being placed in a steel mold. A central stiffener is integrated to increase rigidity without compromising lightness.
The mold is then exposed to high pressure and heated to 150°C to harden the resin and carbon. The foam core, expanding under the heat, ensures even compression between the carbon layers, resulting in a solid and durable structure.
Durability and repairability are at the core 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 repeatedly repaired, ensuring exceptional longevity.

Buying guide
For whom?
You’ve got solid skills in winging, waves are definitely your thing, and fast carves get you stoked: go for it.
It takes a high level of skill, commitment, and a great physical condition to send it hard.
For what?
The front wing for ripping like a pro.
No limits on top speed, re-launch, acceleration, turn pressure, or sharp drive. The Ypra Surf is built for radical surf performance.
Note, it’s not just for radical waves, it’s about sending it: you can hit a waist-high section full throttle and shred. That’s exactly what it’s built for.
Simply put, it's the front wing to charge in the waves without feeling shaky, without holding back, or walking on eggshells. You go full send, and aim for the money turn.
Which size?
When it comes to surfing, size adjustments are based on wave speed and power.
The ideal size is around 600 cm², while a size for more advanced riders would be 500 cm².
Larger sizes are for powerful riders and tougher conditions, or for surf foiling if you’re looking for some pumping.
For more information, check this article.
If you're unsure about which size to choose, contact our customer service.
Which stab?
We recommend pairing a Surf-Freestyle stabilizer with your Ypra Surf front wing in medium waves.
In more challenging waves, a Fluid stabilizer will offer more stability at high speed with its longer fuselage, but it will be less responsive in tight turns.
Always adjust the size of the stabilizer to match the size of the front wing to achieve balanced flight and harmonious performance between these two components.
For more details, check out this article.
If you're uncertain about the size to select, feel free to contact our customer service.
