The accessible single-skin lowkite for safe learning and progression! It’s the perfect lowkite to dive into the exciting world of lowkites.
The GONG Plus lowkite is the ideal solution to start easily and progress quickly. Designed to offer a stable, smooth, and intuitive flight, it guarantees immediate enjoyment and exceptional versatility from the very first sessions.
Ease of use
Thanks to ultra-simple setup, the Plus lowkite is immediately effective: easy take-off, reassuring stability, powerful depower, intuitive handling, and excellent upwind performance. It’s ideal for relaxed cruising, riding with or without a harness, and fully enjoying bumpy conditions.
Accelerated progression
The Plus accelerates the learning curve. From the first sessions, it helps you understand the flight domain of a lowkite and quickly gets you airborne. You’ll progress fast toward freeride navigation and your first moves. It’s a perfect lowkite to rapidly explore all the possibilities of lowkite riding.
Exceptional upwind performance
Thanks to a new ultra-stable profile and a perfectly smooth, aerodynamic leading edge, the Plus offers remarkable upwind capability, comparable to what you get with a kite or a wing. This increased efficiency allows you to fly further downwind in freefly, climb crank upwind faster, and make the most of every session.
Optimal depower for maximum comfort
Enhanced stability in the front half of the lowkite and release in the rear profile dramatically increase the depower capability of the Plus. This significantly improves sailing comfort and usable wind range: you can easily ride overpowered, even with a minimalist harness. A 4m² wing holds its own in committed 20/25-knot sessions. You can ride with a compact, low-volume board and a small foil.
Exceptional stability
Featuring a single-skin structure with a pronounced arc, strong twist, and short bridle, the lowkite Plus offers unmatched stability, even in gusty winds or when piloting errors occur. This reassuring stability allows beginners to focus fully on their technique and feel.
Controlled power
Its deep profile and generous wingtips generate immediate power, making takeoff much easier and significantly reducing pumping effort. Just two pumps on the foil are enough to take off with strong and reliable lift in hand.
Lightweight and compact
Ultra-light and very compact, the Plus is easy to carry in a bag or even under a rashguard, perfect for paddling past the break. Its practical format allows for hassle-free travel, easily fitting in a boardbag or backpack alongside a wing. On downwinds, it packs down small, offering no wind resistance or inconvenience.
Robust and simplified design
The no-inflation structure removes the hassles of bladders (punctures, pressure loss). Being single-skin, it doesn’t absorb water and remains easy to handle at sea. Its highly visible color improves safety during your first rides. We use the same materials as in our wings to ensure maximum durability and excellent repairability. That’s important, as it will face strong forces and must be built seriously using marine-grade, proven materials.
Short bridle without lines
Thanks to its short bridles, you ride very close to the wing without needing to hold it, enjoying the qualities of a kite while avoiding the constraints of a traditional lined wing. The lowkite Plus simplifies launching in complex spots and eases transitions in waves, for instance.
Versatility and sensations
With this new version, the Plus benefits from increased stability and a much wider wind range. This evolution allows for comfortable riding in a wide variety of conditions, using smaller foils and boards, and enjoying sensations close to those offered by wing riding. The tricks from our Team are a great example.
High-level performance accessible to all
Foiling with a 700cm² foil and a reduced-volume board is now accessible thanks to the evolution of the Plus. What used to be reserved for very experienced riders is now open to a much broader audience.
GONG experience and unbeatable value
This second generation of lowkite benefits from the in-depth experience of our team and testers, who spend every day perfecting these products on the water. Thanks to our direct-sales model, GONG offers this major evolution while maintaining the best value for money on the market.
With the GONG Plus lowkite, discover an innovative, accessible, and thrilling way to ride, where instant pleasure and infinite potential combine to revolutionize your foiling experience.

Buying guide
The Plus lowkite is designed for riders who are new to lowkiting and are looking for a simple, secure, and accessible solution for their first sessions. It's a great progressive freeride lowkite that will also allow you to do your first upwind and downwind runs.
It's a great choice for those who want to replace a paddle on a downwind foil board, making takeoffs smoother and offering a great way to catch the bumps with minimal effort.
This model is perfect for:
The first freeride sessions in upwind/downwind thanks to excellent upwind performance.
Downwind foil riders wanting a lightweight and compact tool to start.
Riders seeking a stable and forgiving lowkite for safe learning.
Anyone wanting a wing that's easy to pack away and doesn't require inflation.
The V2 Plus lowkite offers incredible mobility on the water. Its perfect stability allows for insane and effortless upwind angles across a wide wind range.
As a result, it makes takeoffs easier with a large board and generous foil for beginners, and accelerates progression on smaller boards with faster foils for more experienced riders.
Its purpose is simple: propel you on freeride runs, link maneuvers together, and thanks to its perfect upwind ability, pack the wing away and glide on the foil using the bumps.
Its use ranges from relaxed freeride to downwind, where it lets you launch effortlessly before being stashed under a rashguard or in a small bag.
Its stability and gentle power also make it an excellent tool for first-time lowkite rides, allowing you to cruise without worrying about demanding lowkite control.
But it’s also perfect for dedicated upwind/downwind use thanks to its excellent upwind performance and compactness when folded.
The Plus lowkite comes in sizes 2m², 3m², 4m², and 5m². The size choice primarily depends on the rider's size and the wind conditions.
Keep in mind that it's very close to the surface area you're used to in winging.
The Plus lowkite can be paired with an optimized downwind setup, but not only that, it can also be used with your wing foil setup once you’ve passed the progression stages.
More classically, a generous foil (2 or 3 sizes above your wing setup) and a voluminous, glide-friendly board will be perfect for progressing with peace of mind. Balance should be easy on your board, and takeoff should be smooth thanks to the foil. In this case, within 1 hour of practice you’ll be riding your first runs without trouble:
This equipment allows you to fully exploit the potential of the Plus lowkite, maximizing fluidity and easing transitions into pure foil gliding.
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.
