High performances fuselage for V3 foils

Presentation

The V3 fuselage is a revolution.

With the best hydrodynamic and mechanical performance ever designed, it is faster, stiffer, and more robust to enhance the experience of using our foils. The connections for the front wing, stabilizer, and masts are all self-tightening to ensure a perfect assembly of the mast and wings even after hours of sessions. While still being easy to disassemble.

The rigidity during navigation is absolute and continuous!!!

The V3 fuselage is:

faster
stiffer
stronger
lighter

The new rounded shape allows for a calculated 12% gain in glide. It also eliminates potential lift effects that a faceted fuselage might have on each side, thus eliminating imperfections in high-speed actions.

Structurally, the thicker section near the stabilizer increases the strength and rigidity of the foil.

These connections all have a foolproof mechanism to ensure you never accidentally mount your stabilizer or front wing backwards. This new fuselage requires fewer screws: 3 screws for the mast, 2 screws for the front wing, and 2 screws for the stabilizer. All these screws are placed underneath the foil, making it very ergonomic to assemble your foil and tighten all the screws simply by flipping it over. And the little bonus is that all the screws of your wings are identical, so no hassle during assembly!

This fuselage is available in two constructions:

In aluminum, which is an excellent compromise between price, lightness, and mechanical performance.
In titanium, which is much stiffer and stronger than aluminum, essential for jumps and large wings, and does not cause oxidation. The titanium version is hollowed out in the center, in the area least stressed mechanically, to save weight.

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!

Buying guide

Aluminum or titanium fuselage?

We strongly recommend using a titanium fuselage in the following cases:

It is mandatory for your safety if you plan to navigate beyond the 300m zone or if you sail more than 300m from shelter (serious bodily injury risk in case of unexpected breakage).
If you jump (risk of material loss).
If you use front wings with a span of more than 110 cm (risk of material loss).
If you do not meet any of the above conditions, the V3 aluminum fuselage will suit you perfectly.

Compatibility:

This fuselage is compatible with V3 foils:

Front wings with round fittings
Stabilizers with round fittings
V3 masts, which can be identified by a rounded heel on top and a plate with beveled edges.

It is also compatible with V2 masts, which can be identified by a flat heel on top and a plate with rounded edges. The fitting works perfectly with these masts, however, the differences in geometry result in a loss of the foil’s hydrodynamic performance. In this case, we recommend using a specialized fuselage for retrofitting different generations of foils to avoid this additional drag.

Delivery

Delivery delay

We indicate a preparation and shipping time of 3 working days. In reality, the majority of orders are shipped within 24/48 hours.

The delivery time, i.e. delivery time of the package to your home, then depends on the delivery location and the carrier.

We work with reliable and efficient carriers. 99% of shipments go perfectly and quickly. In the case of the remaining 1%, rest assured that we will do what is necessary with the carrier.

Shipping fees

Unlike other sites, shipping costs are not hidden behind the price of our products. You know exactly what shipping costs you, and you are not disadvantaged if you choose to collect your order at our GONG Space Center.

Shipping costs are calculated based on the weight and volume of each package, and your delivery address.

Tracking your package

Delivery tracking is managed directly by the carriers to whom we have entrusted your packages. They will contact you by email or SMS to allow you to choose delivery methods and follow the route of your package.

Carriers

We work with the best transport societies to deliver to you throughout Europe and the world within very short deadlines. We chose them for their quality of service and their compliance with deadlines.

For mainland France, 80% of your orders arrive at their destination in less than 48 hours of processing.

For Europe, delivery times vary from 3 to 6 working days, depending on the country of destination.

For the rest of the world, delivery times depend on transit time and customs clearance time. This delay depends on customs and can last from a few days to a few weeks depending on the destination and seasonality.

Please note, transport time is added to preparation/shipping time. Two companies collaborate on your order (GONG and the carrier). Each one masters its activity and is committed to optimizing its deadlines so that you are delivered as quickly as possible and at a reasonable price.

Eco-responsible packaging

Preserving the environment is an absolute priority. This is why we do everything possible to reduce our ecological footprint.

The most important thing is to sell quality, durable products that will be repairable and will please you for a long time.

For our shipments, we use:

Scotch craft paper.

Final packaging in high-end cardboard.

For rigid boards: Flexi-Hex, very high resistance ecological packaging.

This means:

Reusable and recyclable packaging.

An almost total reduction in single-use plastic.

Maximum protection and impact resistance for rigid boards thanks to the innovative Flexi-Hex honeycomb design (35mm thick).

Receipt of your product

Upon delivery, check the condition of your package in the presence of the carrier. A complete explanation email on the procedure to follow will be sent to you when your order is shipped.

Despite our requirements and all the care we take in the packaging and protection of your product, transport hazards may occur, and your product may suffer more or less significant transport damage.

Note that the products are protected in their carton. If you have any doubts, simply refuse delivery and contact us.
