GEAR: OUR NEW RANGE OF KITES!
Our modern vision of kiteboarding through 7 new kites! Freedom and passion are the foundations of this range that will...
It's the simple and safe kite that boosts progression coming out of your kite lessons and quickly takes you to a good level in freeriding.
The Display is our most accessible, and most predictable kite. Thanks to a plain and simple bar feel, you'll quickly find your bearings for maximum enjoyment.
What we love about this kite is that it does everything well. Very stable, you're relaxed with the kite on the top edge of the wind window. Low ratio, it relaunches easily. Powerful, there's no need to overpower for fun. Big depower, you feel safe in high wind conditions.
The comfort of its usable wind range, its direct feel, and its flight stability make it the best kite for progression. The Display will easily set itself to optimize your reaches. It's so reliable that you can quickly think about other things than just looking at it: transitions, tricks, surfing, etc...
Adaptable, it will have you sending your first jumps and much more... Clearly, it's the kite that does everything so well that high-level riders love it for traveling light with a kite that delivers +++.
Freeride is the program that suits it best, but it will also push you towards waves, foiling, and tricks.
Its 3-strut design strikes the perfect balance between rigidity and lightness, offering exceptional versatility. The three struts provide excellent responsiveness while maintaining profile stability for control. These qualities enhance its usable wind range and overall performance. You get a responsive and lightweight kite that performs flawlessly in maneuvers. It's a significant advantage in waves and also in larger sizes that remain agile.
This blend of stability and lightness promotes the kite's overall balance across all its uses, which is crucial for progression. It's precisely the kind of kite that smooths out mistakes and encourages you to try new things.
A 3-strut design also makes it the ideal kite for traveling, offering an all-around performer that remains light in checked luggage.
The Display is a hybrid C-shape: a modern and dynamic design that delivers maximum performance while remaining simple and lightweight.
The turning radius is typically reduced. The kite is precise and agile, enhancing the feel and performance. This balance between agility and profile stability allows for inherently balanced settings for an ultra-clean bar return, enabling effortless and precise control. The feel is incredibly pure and direct, making you one with the kite.
The new reduced-diameter bridles minimize drag while maintaining impeccable mechanical characteristics. The kite flies noticeably smoother.
Your Display also adapts to your feel thanks to adjustments on the rear lines.
The new short bridling system enhances feedback, and the feel is much more direct. Everything becomes more intuitive, keeping you in sync with your kite.
The tips play a crucial role in your kite's behavior. By combining perfectly distributed tension and reduced surface area, we've given the Display good responsiveness while maintaining maximum control.
It's agile but not overly reactive. Everything is under control. You can feel every action distinctly, preventing you from being overtaken by a kite that's too lively and lacks bar feedback. With the Display, bar actions are always very clear.
The Display's low aspect ratio offers a very healthy feel, allowing for stress-free progression.
With this compact kite, we achieve the best balance between power delivery and docility.
The kite's power kicks in even at low speeds. You can feel it pressing against the air. The feedback is clear, making it easy to get dialed in. This linearity in the kite's power is combined with a bridling system that allows for instant depowering. Everything is under control.
Its low ratio keeps it from advancing too far towards the edge of the window, thus avoiding mistakes associated with this complex flight zone. Everything about the Display is designed to make you feel confident and have maximum fun.
All these features give you the feeling that you know your kite inside out from the very first session: simply mind-blowing.
The curved leading edge facilitates the kite's rotation on the water, positioning it on one of the tips for easy relaunch. This ability is essential for beginners and becomes truly enjoyable as you progress.

Choose your kite following our recommendations below. Wind ranges always depend on your weight, skill level, and the board you're riding!
Keep in mind that the longer your bar, the easier it will be to turn your kite. Also, remember that the smaller the kite, the easier it will turn. So, the smaller the kite, the more you need a smaller bar to balance behaviors.
Conversely, the larger your kite and the more you use it in light wind, the slower it will be. A longer bar will have a greater leverage effect to compensate for this natural loss of reactivity.
Therefore, consider these parameters to choose the size of your bar and adapt the steering to the feeling you like and the conditions encountered.
If you want smooth and progressive steering, then you should “undersize” the bar. If you want more reactive but less forgiving steering, you should choose a longer bar.
For example, if I want smoother steering with my 9m2, then I will go for a 46cm bar.
If I want hyper-reactive steering, then I would go for the 52cm bar.
Oversizing the bar will have little interest and paradoxically will result in a feeling of heaviness in steering in the case of the 62cm. This one will be perfect, even essential in light wind. But in stronger winds, it will be slower to untwist and manipulate.
Between the 46 and the 52, there is no sensation of heaviness. These are two very close bars.
Note also that the 52 is perfectly usable on all our kites. No kite will not work or perform poorly for this reason. The 46, 57 and 62 are just optimizations for perfectionists.
It should also be noted that two bars generally age only half as fast as a single bar for the whole quiver ?
The key size is 52cm; it is the most versatile bar that you should choose if you want to have only one bar for a quiver 7-9-12 or 8-11 or even 8-10-13. If you want to add a second bar to your quiver, here are our recommendations with GONG kites:
The recommendations below are based on the behavior of GONG kites. Since our bars are compatible with a large number of kites, you can adjust your choice according to the type of kite used.
Your Feel-X bar comes standard with 80cm front lines, 19m of lines, and 3m extensions already mounted. The original setup is the most versatile and will be your best choice for 90% of your sessions.
One of the main advantages of the Feel-X bar is its great tolerance provided by its shape. By playing with its lengths, or even modifying them with our extensions (sold separately), you further enhance its versatility!
Note that 22m and 19m are not extreme line lengths and remain a fine adjustment to your piloting sensation.
Equipments
All our kites are obviously compatible with our FEEL-X bar but also with 95% of the bars on the market. If in doubt, get yourself a complete set (x4) of pigtails: PIGTAILS.
Don't forget to bring a pump ;-)
10 years of spare parts.
GONG makes durable kites: that's the basis of our specifications. Never disappoint.
GONG ensures the longevity of its durable kites: offering you all the components of our products for 10 years is a challenge that we gladly take on. Because we are convinced that a good kite today is still a good kite in 5 years if it is well maintained. And this maintenance is good for the planet because it will allow many young people to equip themselves second-hand at very affordable prices.
To ensure a long life for your kite, it will need maintenance.
