The super playful foil to get started and progress!

Presentation

The X-Over will be the wing on which you’ll learn how to take off, stabilize the flight and nail your first maneuvers.

The great strength of this foil is its versatility over time. Perfect for your first flights, its glide and forgiveness will allow you to go very far in your progression without having to upgrade your foil.

Nothing is off the table with this front wing so have as much fun as you can with it. It is an accessible shape, efficient for its volume and which will excel in all foiling disciplines: winging, prone foiling, SUP foiling, dockstarts…

With its early and gentle takeoff, there is no need to pump the wing frantically: everything happens very naturally. The wing is predictable and does not create excessive lift. You don’t have to put all your weight on the front foot to stabilize yourself. It is really the perfect wing to discover the sensations of foiling.

Its very modern profile opens up a very wide range of use. It accepts flying at very low speed without stalling but also impressive speeds for this kind of shape.

The X-Over is very stable but not locked. Thanks to its twisted tips and its negative dihedral, it is really a playful but very predictable foil that switches from one rail to another very easily. It is really a foil that will accompany you for a very long time in your progression without ever restraining you.

In winging, the foil gets off your mind: no need to be ultra focused on your stance. It allows you to be more focused on the wing. For most beginners, it is a welcome comfort to be able to concentrate almost exclusively on the handling of the wing.

In surfing, the X-Over is very forgiving. When you’re still learning how to properly place the foil in the power zone of the wave to not be overwhelmed, you need a docile and predictable foil. These are exactly the qualities of the X-Over. Once you have this knowledge under your belt, its maneuverability allows you to make solid surf turns.

This front wing really excels in soft waves and average conditions to the point that some experienced members of the GONG Team use it over other models for its maneuverability / lift ratio. It allows solid turns and pumps easily even with a small surface area.

The X-OVER ALU foil is delivered with :
  • the X-OVER front wing and the X-OVER stab of your choice,
  • The V2 Carbon Mast with its 4-hole top plate (standard center distances) and its conical fuselage interlocking system for a perfect connection between the foil and the board, with absolutely no play.
  • A complete screw and spanner kit is included.
  • Everything comes in a practical compartmentalized carry case for storing and transporting your dismantled foil.

Buying guide

For whom ?

You saw a bunch of foilers having a blast and you want to join the party? The X-Over is a perfect entry point to get into foiling and evolve, be it in wing, kite, surf or SUP foiling!

For what ?

In detail for each sport:

  • In wing foiling: The X-Over will make your life easier on takeoffs, teach you how to stabilize the flight, head upwind and help you nail your first jibes, tacks and jumps!
  • In surf foiling: The X-Over is perfect for a soft and progressive take-off, good turns on the wave and pump for your first connections with the next coming wave.
  • For dock starts: The X-Over will be perfect for making successful first starts and starting to cover nice distances on pure leg strength.
  • In kite foiling: The X-Over will be perfect for your first sessions, not having to be flying at a frightening Mach 12 speed, and for learning transitions in flight.

Which size ?

Front Wing : 

The X-Over front wings can fit all rider sizes.

The M has a 75 cm wingspan and a surface area of 1000 cm2.

  • In wing foiling, it is a small wing for light riders.
  • In surf foiling, it is a small wing for light riders.
  • In kite foiling, it is a very versatile wing that lifts even at very low speed.

The L has a 85 cm wingspan and a surface area of 1300 cm2.

  • In wing foiling, it is an average wing for those under 75kg.
  • In surf foiling, it is an average wing for those under 75kg.

The XL has a 95 cm wingspan and a surface area of 1650 cm2.

  • In wing foiling, it is a large wing for people between 75 and 85 kg.
  • In surf foiling, it is a large wing for people between 75 and 85 kg.

The XXL has a 105 cm wingspan and a surface area of 2050 cm2.

  • In wing foiling, it is a great wing for people over 85kg and light wind.
  • In surf foiling, it is a great wing for people over 85kg and small waves.

General: a bigger front wing will be used in low ranges, in soft conditions. And conversely a smaller front wing in stronger conditions. What you need to remember is that the choice of your wing depends on your size, which requires lift, and your average speed, which generates lift.

Stab : 

The L has a 44 cm wingspan, 275 cm2, 0,73 cm thick for a volume of 0,12L.

  • In surf foiling, it is a stab that will suit the majority of medium-sized foilers.
  • In wing foiling, it’s perfect for riders of an intermediate level looking for versatility with a very good low end.
  • In kite foiling, it is a great stab for big riders.

The XL has a 48 cm wingspan, 335 cm2, 0,79 cm thick for a volume of 0,15L.

  • In surf foiling, it is a great stab for big riders and large wings.
  • In wing foiling, it is a great stab for big riders and large wings.
  • In kite foiling: to forget, it’s too big.

Mât :

Choice of : 55cm, 65cm or 75cm for surf and sup practice.

  • 55 cm for beginners in Surf, SUP, Wake
  • 65 cm to use for Surf or SUP, or to being in Kite and Wing
  • 75 cm to Surf or SUP with a high level, Downwind, towing in Surf, Wake, Dock Starts.

Which quiver ?

In surf foiling, you can use any board from our range, depending on your surfing level and your physical condition. The Lance will be perfect on your first sessions but it can be used very well with a shorter perf board.

Ditto in wing foiling, a beginner will appreciate a longer board to take off easily but we will try to reduce the length for maneuvers and to manage the chop.

For SUP foiling downwinders, it will work very well with a Flint or a Zuma which will allow you to have a very smooth takeoff on the wave.

Positioning of the foil ?

For the GONG foils, place it in the middle of the US rails.

The more you move it forward, the more it makes the board pitch up. The further you move it backwards, the more the nose of the board dives.

Be careful not to move it too far forward. We often tend to forget to use the back foot, especially when we have a kitefoil background. However, moving the foil back a little forces you to put more weight on the back foot and gives a more harmonious attitude and reduces effort.

At GONG you will find the best quality at the price of direct sales without intermediaries.

Warning:

The practice of the sport Foil may expose you to serious injury. A poor mastering of Foil may lead to cut, serious injury and/or including death for you and/or others.

Foil should be practiced by taking into consideration all kite user precautions that are associated with  the sport Foil. Remember that a Foil is long, cutting, and reaches high speeds. Getting hit by a Foil, or hitting someone/thing can have dramatic consequences.

Always Foil far from others, in a secure and safe waterscape without obstacles.

Foil is most often practiced in light winds which may cease to blow leading you to return to shore by swimming. As a consequence do not overestimate your your strength/capacity : never go further out than your skill and swimming capacities and wind conditions allow.

Always wear a helmet and life vest for floatation. Always wear a full body wetsuit.

When handling the Foil, be careful not to cut yourself along the edges.

GONG is NOT responsable in case of any and all accidents implicating a Foil GONG. The practice of Foil is undertaken under the complete responsability of the Foil User/Practioner.


DISPUTES AND LIABILITY

GONG-GALAXY cannot be held liable for non-performance of the contract formed, on the one hand due to a force majeure event, as defined by the courts, and on the other hand, in the event of wrongdoing by the client or an unforeseeable and insurmountable act by a third party to the contract. GONG-GALAXY cannot be held liable for consequences resulting from the incorrect use of products sold on the Website.

Although our products have performances that are compatible with professional use, GONG-GALAXY does not intend to sell the professionals.

The danger in sports practised depends in large part in respecting fundamental rules for safety, priorities, and local regulations that are required for spots.

Each user of GONG-GALAXY products is responsible for making sure that he is at least covered by civil liability insurance, if necessary, by purchasing a sports license.

The rules for maintenance, use, and safety are found in the instructions for use delivered with each product. The instructions may also be downloaded by clicking on the following link or from the GONG-GALAXY.COM website. The instructions form an integral part of the scope of this contract, for which it constitutes an exhibit in and of itself. You acknowledge that you have carefully examined it.

Special statement regarding foils products

The practice of foils, in every medium, presents a special hazard. Notwithstanding the contents of the instructions for use of each product, it is imperative that a few simple rules be observed:

  • Wear a safety vest and a helmet. Foils contain areas of impact that are indispensable for their proper operation, but which present a real danger in the event of a shock. You are most exposed to this risk as a practitioner on the device. You must therefore protect yourself, consequently, using adequate equipment that meets standards. And you must protect yourself by never placing yourself in an at-risk situation. Your behaviour determines the risk you take.
  • Except for kite surf boards, equip your board, at all times, with a leash that is at least equal to the length of the board, as well as foot straps. These elements make it possible not to completely release the board in the direction of other users. Never move in a distance that is less than the length of your leash plus that of the board plus your centreboard should you fall amongst other practitioners. You must never bring a third party into this diameter which forms the area in which your activity presents risk.
  • Only practice in spots that are conducive for the activity (secure water entry, lack of shore break, regular bottom, orientation adapted the wind direction, etc.) and not frequented by practitioners of other nautical sports. A foil’s speeds require that the solo practitioner or one amongst multiple foil practitioners move in an environment where each person anticipates and has awareness of the others’ trajectories.
  • Scrupulously follow the rules of priority, especially since inertia and manoeuvrability are different from traditional media, above all for beginners. Courtesy and the sense of responsibility must be part of your practice so as not to create deviant behaviour that might lead to an accident.
  • Pay attention to the other practitioners, and generally speaking, to all users of the water body, even if they do not have priority in your area of movement (they may, among other things, underestimate your speed and your danger zone). Never practice around children or people who are unfamiliar with the sport, as their reactions might be completely unpredictable. You would be fully liable. GONG SUP will do everything in its power to alert you to the risks and explain to you the practical framework that we recommend. You cannot ignore these instructions as this would endanger you and everyone else, and jeopardize the GONG SUP brand which is a responsible company.
  • Pay attention to the water depth, since the presence of an appendage with several tens of centimetres below a beach vehicle is a new data point for a good number of practitioners, even those familiar with watersports. Breakage associated with pressure against or striking the bottom is not covered by the warranty.
  • Maintain and check your equipment regularly, and make no technical modification to it other than products and solutions sold by GONG-GALAXY. Never sharpen the trailing edges, as they would become cutting both for you and for the leash, thereby no longer holding onto the board!

It is highly recommended that you begin foil practice in an appropriate pedagogical setting, by means of an accredited club or school, that you read all of her articles on the GONG forum. This is to allow you to acquire an appropriate level of self-sufficiency and a real knowledge of the stakes in the practice of foil.
