Its moderate arc, slim tips, and short bridle strike the perfect balance between agility and stability, offering intuitive handling with just the right level of responsiveness.
Its deep profile provides efficient power, making takeoffs easier even when underpowered. The Neutra lowkite is great when paired with a large board and a generous foil for long, effortless sessions, whether on downwinders or short tacks. More technical than the Plus, the Neutra shines with its agility and lively feel, turning every ride into a more dynamic experience.
Lightweight and compact, the Neutra folds easily into a bag or under a rashy, making it highly practical for crossing the shorebreak or transitioning between riding and flying downwind. Once in the air, it stays stable and reactive, delivering smooth and enjoyable navigation across different conditions.
The Neutra’s no-inflation design makes it hassle-free and removes the risks associated with bladders, such as punctures or air leaks. This technical choice boosts the kite’s durability while making it easier to maintain. Thanks to its single-skin construction, it won’t soak up water and remains easy to manage in the water. With its sleek design and compact format, the Neutra lowkite an ideal choice for traveling and exploring, fitting effortlessly into a boardbag for easy transport.
With the Neutra lowkite, you unlock an intuitive and technical riding experience.

Perfect for riders who enjoy interacting with the elements and discovering new trajectories without compromising ease of use.
As with all lowkites, the Neutra requires progressive learning. But after just a few sessions, you’ll be able to tap into its agility and versatility. Whether it’s efficient takeoffs, playful underpowered sailing, or seamless downwinders, the Neutra lowkite elevates your riding into a fun and engaging adventure.

With the Neutra lowkite, GONG redefines the way you ride, turning every session into a new adventure in this emerging sport.
MANEUVERABILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS OF THE SINGLE-SKIN CONSTRUCTION
The Neutra lowkite is designed with a single-skin structure, a technical choice that provides maximum lightness and exceptional maneuverability. The absence of internal structure reduces weight and bulk, making it easy to transport and store. This minimalist design allows for instant "deflation," perfect for packing away the kite after takeoff and riding freely on the foil.
With its refined build, the Neutra responds immediately to rider input, delivering precise maneuverability and instinctive control.
- Super light for better maneuverability
- Quick storage in downwind mode
- Ultra-precise and responsive handling
SMOOTH AND BALANCED POWER
The Neutra is designed to generate progressive and controlled power. Its deep profile and refined tips provide an excellent balance between traction and maneuverability. With a slightly higher aspect ratio than the Plus lowkite, it maintains a fun and dynamic feel while generating efficient speed.
Designed for light-wind performance with a large board and a responsive foil, it minimizes unwanted power surges and enhances effortless gliding over bumps.
- Smooth and progressive traction
- Optimized for underpowered conditions
- Soft and natural glide
COMPACT AND CONVENIENT FORMAT
With its non-inflatable structure, the Neutra lowkite is incredibly compact and easy to use. It can be folded and stored under a rashy or in a small bag in seconds, making shorebreak crossings and transport effortless.
Its convenient format is also ideal for travel—lightweight, space-saving, easy to pack in a boardbag, and with no need for a pump.
- Easy to store and transport
- Smoothly get past the breaking waves
- Super convenient format for travelling
NO-INFLATION STRUCTURE FOR ENHANCED RELIABILITY
The Neutra lowkite harnesses the wind without requiring an inflation system. With no bladders, it eliminates the risk of punctures or pressure loss, ensuring total reliability on the water.
This technical choice also simplifies setup and maintenance, allowing you to focus entirely on your session.
- No bladder maintenance
- Always ready to go
- Maximum reliability and simplicity
A PLAYFUL LOWKITE FOR SKILLED RIDERS
The Neutra lowkite is an agile and dynamic kite that requires a bit of commitment to unlock its full potential. Its lively and precise handling makes it the perfect choice for those seeking a more technical ride compared to the Plus lowkite.
After just a few sessions, you'll unlock its full potential, embracing a fun, free, and instinctive style of riding.
- Playful and highly responsive kite
- Dynamic and engaging feel
- Perfect for progressing towards a more technical ride
AVANTAGES AND LIMITS OF THE SHORT BRIDLE
The Plus and Neutra lowkites are equipped with a short bridle, a technical choice that enhances ease of use and improves control in flight. This reduced bridle length makes the kite more responsive and provides a more direct connection between the rider and the lowkite.
A major benefit of the short bridle is that it simplifies water relaunches by reducing the risk of tangling around the board’s nose, minimizing complications during takeoff. Additionally, since the bridle contributes significantly to the overall weight of a lowkite, shortening it reduces weight in suspension, leading to improved flight stability and a more direct feel in handling.
Another key benefit of a short bridle is that it minimizes the risk of tangles after a crash, particularly in waves, avoiding frustrating situations and lengthy untangling.
That said, a shorter bridle also positions the kite closer to the water, which can lead to more handling mistakes if not controlled properly. While it improves maneuverability and ease of use, it also makes the kite more reactive to pilot input, requiring greater precision. This trade-off offers smooth launches and quick storage but demands careful handling while riding.
- Fast and effortless deployment
- Easier takeoffs
- Reduced overall weight for improved flight performance
- Lower risk of tangles after a crash
- Requires more precision to avoid mistakes due to proximity to the water

Buying guide
For who?
The Neutra lowkite is designed for riders looking for a maneuverable and responsive alternative to paddling in downwind foiling. More dynamic than the Plus lowkite, it’s made for those who crave more sensations and control without sacrificing ease of use.
This model is ideal for:
- Riders looking for a playful and precise lowkite, more technical than the Plus.
- Downwind foilers looking for a light, compact kite to boost takeoff speed and glide effortlessly over bumps.
- Those who want a high-performance kite that can be packed after takeoff, with better maneuverability for adjusting trajectories in flight.
- Experienced foilers seeking a more direct and more responsive kite than the Plus, but still easy to handle.
For what?
The Neutra lowkite takes the Plus concept further, adding extra playfulness and maneuverability. It is designed to replace a paddle in downwind foiling while offering better control and more precise navigation.
Its primary use is downwinders, where it enables a faster takeoff thanks to its moderate arc and refined tips. Once in flight, it can be easily stored under a rashguard or in a small bag, allowing for a natural and intuitive glide over bumps.
Unlike the Plus, the Neutra allows for more trajectory variations and can be used for short tacks, although it is not designed for upwind riding like a wing.
Which size?
The Neutra lowkite is available in 2m², 3m², 4m², and 5m². The choice of size mainly depends on the rider’s build and wind conditions:
How to choose the right size?
- Beginner / Safety: Opt for a larger size to ensure easier takeoff in moderate wind conditions.
- Advanced / Performance: Lighter or skilled riders can size down for better maneuverability.
- Strong winds: Smaller sizes (3m², 2m²) are ideal for stronger winds and for riders seeking more control.
Which quiver?
The Neutra lowkite should be paired with a optimized for downwind, similar to the Plus, but with a greater focus on maneuverability and responsiveness:
- Board: A high-volume downwind foil board with an optimized glide to carve more fluidly on bumps.
- Foil: A high-performance and responsive foil, around 1000 cm² to 1200 cm², allowing for better acceleration after each bump.
- Accessories: A fitted rashguard or a small storage bag to pack the kite away once in flight.
This setup lets you fully harness the Neutra’s potential, offering more precision and responsiveness than the Plus, while keeping it all about downwind foiling.
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 Neutra lowkite is the ideal option for those seeking a more playful, precise, and smooth kite, all while keeping the easy packing feature after downwind foil takeoff. It’s a fun and more technical version for those who want to go further! ?

Is the Neutra harder to ride than the Plus?
Yes, the Neutra is more technical and requires better handling skills. Its more dynamic profile requires a certain level of control and precision. It is therefore less forgiving than the Plus but more rewarding once mastered.
Can you go upwind with the Neutra?
Only in a very limited way. It's slightly more efficient than the Plus, but remains a lowkite designed for downwinders. Its main use is to takeoff and be packed away.
Can the Neutra replace a wing for classical riding?
No, it’s made to be packed away after takeoff and doesn’t allow for active and long-lasting riding like a wing.
How to easily pack away the kite after takeoff?
Like the Plus, the Neutra can be placed under a rashguard or in a small bag, folded in seconds thanks to its simple skin design and short bridle.
What is the main advantage of the Neutra over the Plus?
The Neutra is more fun and precise, offering enhanced control and a more dynamic ride. It allows for greater movement freedom and a smoother glide, perfect for those who want a more responsive lowkite.
NEUTRA OR PLUS?
- Plus: Designed for riders discovering lowkiting, offering a highly accessible, stable, and reassuring kite. It delivers gentle, consistent power to facilitate downwind foil takeoffs, with an effortless setup. Once up and foiling, it packs away in seconds under a lycra or in a small bag, so you can focus on pure glide.
- Neutra: Made for riders who want enhanced maneuverability and responsiveness. It delivers sharper, smoother control with improved ability to fine-tune trajectories in flight. This is a more technical lowkite, ideal for those who prioritize control and dynamic riding.
If you’re looking for a stable, secure, and easy-to-use wing for beginners, go for the Plus.
If you want more finesse and playfulness, the Neutra is for you.
