Innovation through practice
small sizes of the Cruzader Diamond and Cruzader Point embody a new emerging trend in wing foiling.
If you are an intermediate to expert winger, dedicating your practice entirely to carving through swell or on waves, you are likely looking for boards that will allow you to use the smallest wing and foil possible. You are also seeking boards that are as narrow as possible but close to the 5′ mark for minimal interference in your turns and maneuvers.
Inspired directly by the shapes of larger-sized downwind SUPs, this trend aims to capitalize on the exceptional planing ability of such shapes but in “miniature” versions. Once again, GONG pioneers by introducing two series models, available in over 10 sizes smaller than 6′, ideal for pure gliding in wing foiling.Inspired by downwind SUP shapes in large sizes, this trend aims to capitalize on the exceptional planing capacity of this type of shape, but in miniature versions.GONG is once again a pioneer by launching two production models, available in more than 10 sizes less than 6′, ideal for pure glide wing foiling practice.

Outline
With an even thinner and more slender outline we obtain an insane glide. This edition still comes in two types of width to choose from for each size, 10 regular widths and 10 wider XL sizes; it’s simply impossible not to find a size that fits you perfectly. The difference in width between a regular size and an XL is always 10 cm.
Rocker
Thanks to a tight rocker, the Cruzader Point’s glide is optimal and allows you to ride any foil size without struggling. Your pumping is optimized. No need for huge wings anymore, you can ride underpowered, and when paddled it takes off faster than any other board.The tight rocker and fine outline translate into a lightning speed that will allow you to achieve your speed record. In the event of a touchdown, the contact is short and inconsequential.
Hull
A perfectly flat hull on the rear half for a glide without concession into planing.
Rails
Straight and sharp rails provide more stability when at a standstill despite a narrower width than the Cruzader 2023, this is due to the larger edge-to-edge surface. The sharp side provides more glide, drive, stability and facilitates the take-off phase.
Tail
A pin tail flat for even more glide and maximum speed before takeoff.This pinched tail also allows significant angles in carves without touching the water. Crucial in surfing.
Nose
Rounded point nose for maximum responsiveness and a little extra comfort, reinforced by the nose bulb.

Buying guide
Who is it for?
XL sizes are highly manageable in Wing, offering no significant challenges, even for sporty beginners exploring longer lengths. This is particularly true as this type of board is designed for very calm conditions in Wing, and the enhancement in glide is fantastic in light winds.
In narrow widths for Wing, the difficulty level is comparable to that of a Lethal with the same volume. It requires a sporty and technical approach, but nothing insurmountable or unpleasant.
In SUP, a high level of skill is essential, even when using the Cruzader Point XL. Paddling on a narrow and relatively short board remains a technical and physical challenge, but the experience becomes truly fabulous once in flight.
Lying down on the board is easy, and selecting a narrow width can significantly boost paddle speed.
These boards cater to a broad audience, not just professionals. It’s all about finding the right size for your needs.
Why choose the Cruzader Point?
The Cruzader Point is a pure SUP downwind board, offering optimal performance in both swell and small surf. However, it’s also an incredible board for Wing activities in lightwind, downwind, surf, freeride, and freerace.
It’s undoubtedly the board for those who want to hit the water every possible day, never missing a session due to equipment constraints. Its narrow design makes it comfortable for achieving high speeds in Wing or during rapid downwind runs, thanks to its fantastic control at high speeds on this “toothpick.” What’s remarkable about this shape is that it optimizes performance on both ends of the speed spectrum:
- It takes off effortlessly with minimal energy.
- It breaks speed records.
It’s truly an outstanding race board for light wind in Wing, let’s say under 20 knots. Takeoff is so easily optimized that using a small foil becomes a simple formality. The speed is impressive, and in case of a wind lull, its length allows for a smooth return.
Ideal for surfing or on soft bumps, it lets you make the most of mediocre days and Wing ride in offshore windless conditions. The potential in such situations is incredible.
In Wing, the new smaller sizes also hold true to its qualities in strong winds: absolute glide, carving, and the beauty of the shape. The sensation of a very short shape is present because, unlike a traditional Wing board, you are very centered on a Cruzader. Thus, the nose is very short.
On a windless and flat day, it’s a fantastic toy to train and have fun with friends, flying with an immense foil.
What board size?
The Cruzader Point is the ultimate SUP board. However, by playing with volumes, it can be adapted to your needs.
In SUP foiling, it is imperative to have a significantly positive volume balance. The combined weight of the rider and the board must be less than the volume of the board. Don’t hesitate to opt for a bit more volume and width if you’re unsure of your balance.
A confirmed and athletic SUPer would choose a volume sufficient to float with a margin, around their weight + 30 or + 40 = volume.
- For example, if I weigh 80 kg + 40 = 120 L to float, it means that with a 120 L board, I will float, provided I have a good level in SUP foiling. If comfort is a priority, it would be wise to add width and length.
A pro would choose a volume sufficient to float, around their weight + 10 or + 20 = volume.
- For example, if I weigh 80 kg + 10 = 90 L to float, it means that with a 90 L board, I will float, provided I have a good level in SUP foiling. If comfort is a priority, it would be necessary to add 20 L instead of 10 L, thus switching to the 100 L.
In wing foiling, you can go for a generous volume to have a versatile and easy board. However, if you already have a good level, on the contrary, you will seek a volume limit following the same rule as in SUP foiling above.
Comfort:
You can choose a volume sufficient to float, roughly your weight + 10 or more = board volume.
- Example: I weigh 75kg + 10 = 85L to float. This means that with 85L and more, I will be at ease, provided I have a good level in winging.
Sport:
You can also underlitre it to gain responsiveness. It requires a superb skill level and a desire for maximum responsiveness to transition to “negative” volumes, meaning your weight > volume.
Up to your weight – 15 = volume, you can easily start kneeling by leaning slightly on the wing on the water.
- Example 1: I weigh 75kg = 75L to slightly underlitre, and it remains simple. This means that with 70L, my board will slightly sink when stationary, and I will need to be precise and athletic at each takeoff.
In competition, our team uses between 10L and 15L less than their weight. This is currently the compromise that offers them the most performance because it boosts responsiveness and secures landings.
- Example 2: I weigh 75kg, and I take 65L to underlitre without going to a pure sinker. This means that with 65L, my board will partially sink when stationary, and I will need to be very precise and athletic at each takeoff.
Sinker
At your weight – 30 = volume, you’ll need to start with the board sinking: it’s technical, very physical, and you lose some of the low wind range. And most importantly: you need depth, which can be annoying. The performance gain is debatable based on your skill level, but the gain in sensations and responsiveness is interesting for some. It’s also the best way to have lightweight equipment, which is essential for pros, especially for stronger individuals.
- Example: I weigh 75kg – 30 = 45L to use my board in Sinker mode. This means that with 65L and less, my board will completely sink, and I’ll have to start with the help of the wing to get out of the water. In this case, less volume often makes things easier because you sink the board effortlessly to place it under your feet and get on top of it. A smaller board creates less buoyancy, making it simpler to put on and less prone to takeoff. Its stability qualities on the surface remain the same underwater.
Ultimately, the most unstable volume is often around 20L less than your weight.

Equipments
SCS System + box extra long
Equipped with the extra-long XL foil box system (+10cm) for the SCS system, the Cruzaders provide an extensive range of adjustments, allowing for optimal use in Wing and SUP foil activities. 
Multiple inserts
The multiple strap inserts (13 strips of 5 inserts) allow you to mount the footstraps for the SUP stance or the wing foiling position. The extra inserts also meet the current demand for an offset back foot for a more natural stance when surfing or freeflying. With the Cruzaders, you have a ready-made solution.
The set of footstraps is offered with the board. Since 2023 we have reviewed the outline of our straps to further improve comfort. Developed for wing foiling, these straps with less cover do not bend when put on.
More rigid, they offer a more precise steering but are still as comfortable. There is less surface area on the feet so there is less risk of staying stuck in the straps or banging your foot on the edge of the strap when rushing into it. It also allows better leeward control (tip of the foot) and therefore a more natural attitude in wing foiling.
We have worked on every detail to improve your experience on the water.
The V-shaped footstraps perfectly center the foot on the front of the board. The position is thus more natural and allows direct and precise control in maneuvers.
For 2023, our SCS system launched on the HIPE is integrated on all our foil boards. It’s beautiful, efficient and above all it saves time you can spend on the water. With its 4 entries, the GONG double entry box facilitates the assembly and adjustment of the foil. Performance without the hassle. We leave the nuts and the screws on the plate, just insert the foil, screw and off we go! Setting up the foil is much faster and easier. It is the plug and play solution which facilitates adjustments!(inserts not supplied with the board).
A handle developed by our R&D and our ergonomics engineer has been integrated into our boards this year. We can better close our hands in it: a firmer and more comfortable grip. The depressurization screw is directly integrated into the handle.
It is placed on the hull to allow one-handed carrying. You can have the wing in the other hand to get past the whitewater or to get out of the water. And as we always do things seriously, the handle is placed in a block of hydrophobic PVC foam and covered with fiber.
The top-of-the-range 5mm thick integral pad provides maximum grip and comfort when sailing, while protecting the board from shocks. This hard brush pad sublimates the board. This flat pad provides absolute comfort and a magical grip with more precision. This is obvious on long sessions: the feet are less tired.
Included equipments :
- 2 US GONG Box Double Entry for standard foil plates equipped with 4 screw + nuts (9cm center distance). Compatible with our SCS system. This new system allows ultra-fast assembly of GONG foils.(inserts not supplied with the board).
- 13 x 5-hole footstrap inserts to optimize your position.
- 1 x large light double V-shaped front footstrap and 1 x large light rear footstrap (screws included).
- 5 mm pad : deck covering designed for great comfort and absolute grip.
- GONG carrying handle integrated in the center of the board on the hull.
- Leash plug to never lose your board.
- Automatic vent screw. (link to the HOW TO)

Warning
When you practice foil you expose yourself to possible serious risks. A poor mastering of a foil can expose you to cuts and/or serious bodily harm, even death for yourself and possibly others around you.
Foiling should be practiced, in all circumstances, by taking precautions and taking into consideration all that is involved and associated with surf/SUP sports. Remember that a foil is long and has an edge that could cause slicing and is capable of reaching very high speeds. Getting hit by a foil, or hitting another, can have dramatic and highly unwanted consequences.
Always foil far from others, and in waters that are secure and without obstacle.
Always wear a helmet andprotective vest that assures floatability. Always wear a full body neoprene wetsuit.
When handling and manipulating a foil be careful not to cut yourself along its edges.
GONG does not accept and declines any and all responsibility in case of accident that implicates a GONG foil. The practicing of this sport and the use of our equipment makes the user fully responsable for his/her actions while being a foil user.
