The maneuverable and compact single-skin lowkite for upwind riding and surfing in a performance-focused program. The ultimate choice to push your riding to the next level, especially on small foils and demanding boards.
The Neutra GONG lowkite is the single-skin kite oriented toward surf and moves, maneuverable and compact, ideal for pushing your lowkite practice further in downwind and in the waves.
Ultimate maneuverability
The Neutra stands out with exceptional maneuverability thanks to its large arc, its refined wingtips, and its short and precise bridling. Very responsive on the bar, it allows for tight, precise trajectories and quick transitions. You can truly surf with the Neutra in flight, as you would in wing foiling to do airs, and get past fast sections with power for example.
Precise and intuitive control
With its profile perfectly tuned forward and subtly balanced stability that still allows for maneuverability, the Neutra offers perfect and very natural control in all conditions. The kite remains stable and predictable even during aggressive maneuvers or in irregular wind, simplifying maneuvers and piloting in rhythm with small foils.
High-end wind range performance
Thanks to its perfectly tuned profile and excellent depower capability, the Neutra remains very comfortable in the high wind range. You can ride overpowered while maintaining control and without physical strain, even in strong and gusty wind and demanding water conditions. Handling when hooked to a harness line is exemplary: one-finger piloting and no effort. Magical. This quality offers a wide range of use, ideal for long, committed sessions.
Excellent upwind ability
The optimized aerodynamic shape and the smooth leading edge stiffened by specific Nylon reinforcements allow the Neutra to go upwind very efficiently, even with demanding foils and small boards. Its efficiency is remarkable upwind, facilitating quick upwind runs to maximize downwind, surfing, and mobility on the water.
Instant power and high efficiency
The deep and high-performance profile of the Neutra generates immediate but easily adjustable power. Starts are quick, without excessive effort, even underpowered. You take off in two pumps, with constant push, a lowkite that keeps its shape, and a linear forward acceleration. This level of efficiency is just incredible and makes things so easy. Doing lowkite has become child’s play.
Maximum lightness and compactness
Designed as a single-skin, the Neutra is extremely light and compact. It packs in a second, very naturally. It can be held in hand or packed in seconds under a rashguard or in a small bag, greatly simplifying starts and crossing the break when launching. Perfect qualities also for travel, as it can be easily transported during trips without cluttering your usual quiver.
Durability and simplified maintenance
Thanks to its single-skin construction with no inflation, the Neutra avoids all risks related to bladders (punctures, pressure leaks). Its light structure retains no water, making handling easier and relaunches simpler. Designed with the same durable materials used in our kites and wings, it withstands repeated crashes and intense sessions perfectly.
Technical versatility and intense sensations
The Neutra is designed for an engaged lowkite practice. Its playful and technical character allows for full exploitation of high-performance foils and technical boards. It is ideal for those wanting to push their practice, surfing bumps with agility and constantly pushing their limits.
Fast access to performance
Although dedicated to technical use, the Neutra remains accessible for progressive learning. In a few hours, one can master this lively and precise lowkite, which allows for quickly reaching a high level of performance.
GONG, expertise and unique value for money
The result of rigorous development, hundreds of prototypes, and countless tests by our large team, the Neutra fully benefits from GONG's recognized expertise in board sports. Thanks to our direct-to-user model, we offer you a high-performance lowkite at the best value for money on the market.

Buying guide
The Neutra lowkite is intended for foilers who want a high-performance lowkite from their very first sessions. More dynamic and more responsive than the Lowkite Plus, it is aimed at those who are looking for more sensations and maneuverability to carve, pack away/deploy, while still maintaining great ease of use.
This model is ideal for:
The Neutra lowkite takes the Plus concept further, adding extra playfulness and maneuverability. It is designed for waves (carving), maneuvers, and upwinds/downwinds, while offering better control and precise navigation on long freeride sessions.
Its primary use is to initiate turns, whether packed in freefly, with power in hand, during transitions, or in tricks.
It allows for immediate takeoff thanks to its moderate arc, lenticular outline, and thin tips that concentrate its energy.
It can be easily held in hand, under a lycra, or in a small bag once in flight, offering a natural, free, and intuitive glide on the bumps.
Unlike the Plus, the Neutra allows for more variations in trajectory and can be used to sail short tacks and, most importantly, to surf waves with greater agility.
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:
Keep in mind that it's very close to the surface area you're used to in winging.
The Neutra lowkite can be paired with a setup optimized for downwind, but not only that, it can also be used with your wing foil setup once you've progressed beyond the early stages.
This setup allows you to take full advantage of the Neutra’s potential, adding more control and sensations compared to the Plus, while still fitting within an upwind/downwind and surf program.
The single-skin lowkites Plus & Neutra: designed to be simple and compact. They allow you to stow your lowkite while flying and surf the swell, taking full advantage of their lightness. They are also excellent freeride lowkites thanks to their favorable ease-to-performance ratio: great low-end, stable with a harness, excellent upwind like a kite, easy to set up, and effortless relaunch, even after a crash in the waves.
These lowkites are incredibly light and compact, offering ultra-fast setup and minimal bulk. They can be easily stowed in one hand, under a rashguard top, or in a small bag while flying. Relaunching them is just as simple.
And for downwinders: they are a great alternative to a paddle, allowing you to launch easily in foil mode, then quickly stow the lowkite to fully enjoy free gliding.
Takeoff and relaunch are the number one strengths of these single-skin designs. It’s plug and play.
GONG models:
The double-skin lowkites Droid & Pulse: true closed-cell lowkites dedicated to navigation in the strict sense, designed to accelerate hard, with optimal top speed and lift.
These wings are made for active piloting, with behavior similar to that of a traditional closed-cell foil kite. They are technical, powerful, and precise.
They offer outstanding upwind performance, unlimited acceleration, and great stability thanks to their pressurized closed-cell construction.
GONG models:
If we had to summarize the differences between these two lowkite concepts in two words:
For your safety, we strongly recommend using a board leash because your lowkite has no buoyancy, so the leash becomes essential.
Board leash: A straight leash will help avoid tangling with the bridles. A belt-style model will be more comfortable, it won’t drag in the water or get caught around your feet. A coiled (telephone) leash has the disadvantage of tangling more easily with the lowkite’s bridles. Be cautious of entanglements in waves, where leashes and bridles can become dangerous. Stay alert.
Lowkite leash: In theory, you should use one, but honestly, it seems completely unnecessary. If you drop your single-skin lowkite on the water, you’ll see that it won’t drift more than 50 meters and will stop moving on the surface. By paddling on your board, you’ll easily catch up to it. Of course, in waves, if you let go, it may get tossed around and momentarily sink. With its fluorescent color, it’s hard to lose, and we believe it’s better not to be attached to it in the waves, because the pull can be enormous, and getting tangled in the bridles in the surf is extremely dangerous: there’s a risk of severing fingers, ears, or drowning by strangulation. You clearly need to stay away from the lowkite in the waves if it crashes. We strongly insist on this point, which means: avoid the waves.
