The lowkite for discovering surf-freestyle and sending tricks. Ideal for those looking to ride with power and precision while playing with the elements.

Presentation

The GONG Droid lowkite redefines your surf-freestyle experience. In a sport that’s just been born, Malo Guénolé is already landing backmobs in the Droid lowkite!!!

With its double-skin (closed-cell) structure, it offers exceptional stability in the air and ideal maneuverability for riders who want to send tricks, maneuvers, and full tilt speed runs.

Featuring a pronounced arc, moderate high ratio, and a powerful profile, the Droid lowkite delivers consistent and precise traction, perfect for jumps and rotations.

Its unique semi-short pre-line setup maximizes lift and ensures control, even during aerial maneuvers. The thin and dynamic tips enable excellent responsiveness, making this kite as effective in the waves as on flat water.

In contrast to single-skin lowkites, the Droid is a true riding kite. It excels at going upwind, delivering outstanding lift, and staying stable in overpowered conditions. Featuring an optimized bridle and 22 perfectly balanced sections, it blends precision and smoothness for a sailing experience similar to kite or wing foiling, but with the lowkite vibe.

The Droid lowkite is designed for durability. Its marine-grade materials, combined with water drainage systems, ensure an easy relaunch even in challenging conditions. Its double-skin structure offers stability and aerodynamic performance, making it a reliable choice for uncompromising sessions.

With its slightly longer lines and a performance bar, the Droid lowkite provides exceptional comfort during extended sessions, all while maintaining perfect handling precision. This configuration maximizes the performance of the kite, catering to the needs of demanding riders.

Riding with the Droid lowkite means discovering a technical and powerful glide. Whether you're linking tricks in the waves or enjoying dynamic sailing, this kite provides a one-of-a-kind experience. It’s designed for those looking to explore the endless potential of lowkiting, offering exceptional control and unwavering stability.

While its handling takes some practice, the Droid becomes highly rewarding once you’ve got it down. After just a few sessions, you’ll be able to fully explore its technical and versatile nature, mastering jumps, surfing, and carving smooth, precise trajectories on the water.

As a surf-freestyle model, the Droid lowkite reflects GONG’s expertise and innovation. Powerful, reactive, and exceptionally stable, it’s made for riders looking to push their boundaries. With the Droid lowkite, GONG introduces a fresh approach to riding, blending technique and enjoyment for an unmatched glide experience.

Buying guide

For whom?

The Droid lowkite is designed for riders in search of a powerful and stable lowkite, intended for active riding and a surf-freestyle program. Unlike the Plus and Neutra, which serve as a paddle replacement for easier takeoffs on downwinders, the Droid is a true sailing kite, built for upwind sailing, surfing, and performing maneuvers.

This model is perfect for:

Experienced riders looking for an alternative to wing foiling with a feel closer to kiteboarding.
Freestyle and surf foil enthusiasts in need of a responsive and maneuverable kite.
Those wanting a high-performance lowkite, capable of going upwind and staying in flight without being packed away.
Riders who want to play with the waves, tapping into the lift and power of the double-skin design.

For what?

The Droid lowkite is a double-skin (closed-cell) kite designed for active riding, unlike the Plus and Neutra, which are made to be packed away after takeoff.

Its primary use is surf-freestyle:

Going upwind with high efficiency.
Surfing waves using the lowkite’s lift without being too dependent on the wind.
Performing aerial maneuvers by harnessing the stability and power of the closed-cell.
Tacking and sailing smoothly over long distances.

Thanks to its increased stability and lifting profile, the Droid offers smooth and precise handling, with excellent control in flight.

Which size?

The lowkite Droid comes in 3m², 4m², 5m², and 7m². Choosing the right size depends on the rider's weight and the wind conditions.

How to choose the right size?

Freestyle / Surf: The intermediate sizes (4m² , 5m²) offer the best balance for throwing tricks and surfing with precision.
Downwinders and light wind: The 7m² is perfect for maintaining lift and staying in flight without getting overpowered.
Strong winds / Maximum control: The 3m² allows riding in strong winds while remaining maneuverable.

Which quiver?

The Droid lowkite is designed for an engaged and dynamic ride. It pairs best with:

Board: A responsive foilboard, smaller than a downwind model, for sharper maneuvers.
Foil: A fast and maneuverable foil (600 cm² to 1000 cm²) that maximizes the Droid’s power and relaunch.
Accessories: A compatible bar with optimized bridle settings for precise and efficient control.

This setup unlocks the full potential of the Droid, delivering a more technical and dynamic ride compared to the Plus and Neutra models.

GONG lowkite range explained

The GONG lowkite range is divided into two main categories:

1. Single skins (Plus & Neutra): designed for downwind foiling and light-wind riding.

These lowkites act as a paddle replacement, helping you take off in foiling before being packed away for a pure glide experience.
Ultra-light and compact, they are perfect for quick setup and minimal gear hassle.
Plus: the most accessible, stable, and reassuring option for getting started with lowkite.
Neutra: more dynamic and precise, for riders looking for increased maneuverability and precise control.

2. Double skin (Droid & Pulse): Versatile RAM-Air Kites

Unlike single-skin models, these lowkites are designed for active riding rather than being packed away after takeoff, behaving just like a traditional kite.
They provide excellent upwind performance, controlled power, and enhanced stability thanks to their pressurized ram-air construction.
Droid: A highly versatile lowkite, ideal for freestyle surf, tricks, and aggressive riding.
Pulse: Tuned for freerace and freeride, featuring exceptional upwind ability and glide to cover long distances at high speed.

The Droid lowkite is the go-to choice for riders looking for a powerful, stable, and maneuverable lowkite—perfect for surf freestyle and bold maneuvers. With its lift-generating profile and excellent responsiveness, it ensures every session is smooth, fun, and high-performance. 🚀
