Shape
3-STRUT DESIGN

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.

HYBRID C SHAPE

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.

SHORT BRIDLE

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.

REACTIVE TIPS

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.

LOW RATIO

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.

EASY RELAUNCH

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.

3D View

Durable Construction.

The Elips is built with the best materials available for a kite, using Dacron.

Our decades-long experience in kite making, along with all the advancements made in wing technology, have enabled us to push the performance of our kites to unprecedented levels.

The Dacron DP 175LL, combined with seams tested on a bench, provides the best in terms of rigidity and material resistance for the leading edge in Dacron.

The proven triple ripstop fabric offers perfect longevity and resistance with an ultra-lightweight of 55g/m2.

Strategically placed reinforcements ensure the durability of your equipment:

  • Insigna on the leading edge in areas prone to friction.
  • Tips reinforced with Dacron DP175LL and Nylon 1680D on the last sections of the leading edge.
  • Trailing edge in Dacron DP175LL to resist flapping over time.

Buying guide

For whom?

From progressing kiteboarders to experienced practitioners looking for an all-around kite without hassle. The Display is the perfect model thanks to its versatility and simplicity.

For what?

The Display is the freeride kite for progression! Its significant power, coupled with great depower, is a delight for long, relaxed rides. Its maneuverability and ultra-healthy bar feeling are excellent for wave riding. Thanks to its stability and excellent bar feedback, it also allows you to unleash in freestyle. Especially with its ultra-fast relaunch, you'll no longer have any stress or hindrance to progression.

Understanding our kite range:

Display : the freeride kite for rapid progression.

Vertigo : high-performance kite for all disciplines from unhooked to surfing.

Ayto : the ultimate 5-strut kite for big air and kite loops.

Unik : lightweight mono-strut freeride kite for light wind, foiling, and waves.

Strutless : super light kite for light wind and freeride/freerace.

Strutless Revo : ultra-light and maneuverable kite for foiling and surfing.

Elips : the ultimate kite for waves.

What size?

The Display, with its low aspect ratio and powerful profile, is a kite that you don't need to overpower to have fun.

Choose your kite following our recommendations below. Wind ranges always depend on your weight, skill level, and the board you're riding!

Bar Size:

The choice of your bar size will have a direct impact on the overall feel of your kite. Remember that the longer your bar, the easier it will be to turn your kite. This detail is important when using larger kites, especially in very light winds, to maintain good responsiveness. The longer leverage compensates for this natural loss of responsiveness.

On the contrary, the smaller the kite, the faster it will turn! So, using a smaller bar allows you to balance behaviors and calm down kite reactions. Therefore, consider these factors when choosing the size of your bar and adjust the control to the feeling you like and the conditions you encounter.

  • If you prefer smooth and gradual control, you should "undersize" your bar.
  • If you prefer fast and responsive control, you should choose a larger bar.

The key size is the 52cm bar. It is the most versatile bar to choose if you want to have only one bar for a quiver of 7-9-12 or 8-11 or even 8-10-13.

When you are equipped with an extended kite quiver, it's best to also have a range of bar sizes to maintain a balanced feel when switching from a small kite to a larger one. Also, note that having two bars reduces wear on parts by half!

Here are our recommendations:

The above recommendations are based on the behavior of GONG kites. Since our bars are compatible with a wide range of kites, you can adapt your choice based on the type of kite used.

Line Length:

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!

  • 22m Lines:
    The "standard" length provides a more progressive and predictable bar feeling (recommended setting for progressing kiters). Your flight window will be larger, offering more power at takeoff. This is the setting to favor in light to medium wind conditions, and for everyday freeride use.
  • 19m Lines:
    Shorter lines offer a more direct response from the kite, increasing its reactivity. The flight window will be shorter. This is the perfect setting for advanced kiters, especially for wave riding or foil for more agility. If you choose to ride with shorter lines, you will also gain comfort in high wind conditions.

Note that 22m and 19m are not extreme line lengths and remain a fine adjustment to your piloting sensation.

Equipments

Included equipment:

  • Your kite ready to sail (excluding bar and pump).
  • A sturdy and efficient backpack: U-shaped zipper for easy storage, ventilation grid, padding, compression straps, pocket for the bar, straps for the pump...
  • The One Pump system for quick inflation and deflation of the struts.
  • A leash loop for your pump on your kite to secure it during inflation.
  • Universal high-flow inflation valve.

Frequent questions
Is the Display a beginner kite?
The Display is our most forgiving and accessible model. This kite allows practitioners of any level to feel confident during key moments of their progression. Easily controllable power, facilitated upwind performance, and ultra-fast relaunch make it the perfect choice for all kiters looking for their first kite.
Is the Display a versatile kite?
Without a doubt, the Display is an ultra-versatile kite. Its accessibility and instinctive piloting make it the perfect choice for progressing in all disciplines. Quick lift and ultra-fast relaunch for unleashing your first freestyle tricks, excellent bar feedback and good responsiveness in surfing, this kite is ready for anything to make your life easier.
Which freeride kite to choose?
In our extremely comprehensive range, we have different "freeride" kites. Depending on your conditions and level, you should lean towards one model rather than another. • Display: The quintessential Freeride kite, it's the most versatile model no matter the level or conditions encountered! With a good low-end range and a stable 3-strut shape in strong winds, the Display has a very wide range of use, always with unparalleled ease of use! Intuitive freeriding, regardless of wind strength. • Vertigo: Freeriding in high-performance mode! Like with the Display and the Unik, the Vertigo allows you to have a blast on any surface. However, this kite, with its precise handling and constant traction, is best suited for experienced kiters. The Vertigo is fast, reacts very quickly, and gives an impressive jump boost. Freeride yes, but in turbocharged mode! • Unik: Of course, it's a Freeride kite, but developed to facilitate navigation in light wind or underpowered conditions primarily. Its single-strut shape offers impressive lightness and great stability throughout the wind window. You feel safe even in 10 knots. If you frequently sail on a lightly windy spot and enjoy switching from TT to surf to foil, this model will be perfect for you!
What inflation pressure?
The recommended pressure is indicated in the table below: You need to consider certain elements: An underinflated kite will be unstable and difficult to control in gusty winds. Relaunching will also be more complicated with a kite that doesn't maintain its shape. An overinflated kite increases the risk of explosion during a crash and will fatigue the seams and materials of your kite more quickly. If you leave your kite inflated in the sun for a long period, we recommend slightly deflating it to reduce the risk of seam fatigue.
Kite with or without pulleys?
The primary goal of the Display is to combine versatility with simplicity. A pulley-less bridling system like the Elips would make it too reactive. Conversely, three pulleys like the Vertigo would reduce the simplicity and tolerance aspects of this kite. We chose to work on a short bridling system with a single friction ring pulley on each side. This type of bridling, simple and proven, provides tolerant control to the kite and limits wear for an additional sense of security.
Compatibility of bars?
The Display has been developed to work with the FeelX bar. Our bar has four lines of equal length and a low V on the front lines. The attachments for the lines at the bridal level are: • Kite-side loops for the front lines • Kite-side knots for the back lines
How to maintain my kite equipment?
To increase the longevity of your kite equipment, the way you use it and its regular maintenance are crucial. A key point during usage is not to leave your kite inflated for long periods without use! Flapping of the fabric in the wind can cause premature wear of the materials, as can prolonged exposure to UV rays. Frequent rinsing of your kite with running water is also not recommended. The chlorine present in tap water can alter the surface treatments of your kite. However, it is advisable to store your kite dry and remove any excess sand. Always rinse your bar with clean water to remove sand and salt. Also, remember to open the safety release mechanism to rinse its interior. Let it dry before reassembling. In case of a pierced strut or leading edge, use your repair kit, or check our spare parts to order the replacement piece. Systematically inspect the condition of your kite. Identify any holes or tears and have them repaired before they worsen. If you have damaged your kite due to improper use, you can have it repaired directly at the GONG workshop by contacting our sail loft: [link].
