High performance wing for surfing and jumping, fantastic for linking carves and rotations.

Presentation

Surfing, jumping and transitions, this is what the Neutra is made for.

The 2023 Neutra is perfectly neutral when surfing. Light, with a weight loss of almost 500gr, you don’t even know it’s there when floating behind you. And with its tight trailing edge, it doesn’t slow you down. You just have to grab the downwind handle while surfing to forget about it. The main evolution of the Neutra in 2023 is its improved dynamism thanks to stronger tensions, a hyper-rigid central strut, and a re-segmented leading edge. Rotations and maneuvers are executed with an even more instinctive steering. In jumps you clearly climb higher and longer. It’s incredible. The central segment locks the dihedral to maintain a perfect profile and boost lift.

The curved leading edge focuses the hollow and power where your hands are on the central strut. The tips are super free, the rotations accelerate! This shape gives you a feeling of lightness and absolute freedom because the roundness of the leading edge helps changing the orientation of the wing, especially when steered by the downwind/surf handle. And when a tip of the wing touches water when landing a jump, the roundness of the tips mean that they won’t stick on the water: an immense quality in the waves! When riding in between maneuvers, it feels more powerful, and much more precise. It pulls frankly forward, which gives lightning fast accelerations between waves. Firm and responsive, it’s a high performance wing that knows no limits. The Neutra 2023 is available in 8 sizes including 4 intermediate sizes for a perfect quiver: 2m², 2.5m², 3m², 3.5m², 4m², 4.5m², 5m² and 5.5m². This incredible wing takes you to a new dimension of waveriding: higher, stronger, lighter, everything is next level with the Neutra 2023.

Buying guide

For whom?

Whatever your level, the Neutra is accessible. It allows the most technical maneuvers but it is not technical.

For what?

The wave riding program traditionally brings together three aspects: a first tack where you jump, a transition maneuver, surfing on your way back, a transition maneuver, and you start over again and again…

  • If you want to surf : It’s the perfect wing.
  • If you want to jump : It’s the perfect wing.
  • If you want to turn : It’s the perfect wing.

Of course, it is crazy in downwinds thanks to its surfing performance.

What size?


Don’t overestimate the power of wings. The ambient blah blah would have you believe that you will have fun with a 4m² in 12 knots, even 8 knots… It is really just BS to make you get a cheaper wing and make you believe that this sport is magic.

The reality is that for a 85kg winger, you need 15/20 knots with a 5m² to fly to get flying the first times. After about 15 sessions, you will fly at 15 knots with a 5m². And if you’re athletic, pumping hard can make you take off at 12 knots in 5m² and hold the flight through 8 knots lulls. All this can be learned and requires practice.


Best quiver choices?

The Neutra works with everything but especially with a compact and light board. Obviously, it will be more in phase with a foil dedicated to performance, in 85cm or 100cm for example.

You can (should) add to this combo a SUP for windless days, and surely a board dedicated to surfing. But if you’re heading towards wing foiling, you may already have these toys in the garage ?

Which leash?

A 5’5 to 8’ Wing leash will be ideal. Preferably a model dedicated to wing foiling and of the coiled type. A short leash allows you to get back on the board quickly. By letting the board go further, a long leash prevents contacts between the foil and the wing.

Check its condition before each session and change it every year. It’s your life jacket.

Don’t let your wing flap in the wind at the end of the leash, it’s not unbreakable! Ditto in the waves, do not hold your Wing by the leash, it will explode and/or you will get hurt.

With or without a harness?

Riding without a harness is sexy because it’s a thing of the moment and it makes you feel free. You can move in all directions, it’s really nice.

But it is necessary to be slightly underpowered if you do not want your arms to burn too quickly. This also means more pumping to take off.

All our wings have harness line attachments since 2021. So, the choice is yours.

So, if you like to ride with more power, the use of a harness is almost mandatory if you don’t want your sessions to be limited to one hour. In this case, the installation of harness line is super simple, (see our tutorials on the forum). We advise you to use a harness that is enveloping and as soft as possible, with a windsurfing type of hook.

So, it’s up to you to see if sensation and aesthetics prevail over performance. But it is a safe bet that soon all riders will have harnesses because the evolution will go towards more powerful wings and more performance.

Boom or handles?

We’ve tried everything, in every conceivable combination. A boom is great but not at all suitable for beginners who need a light wing.
With a boom, a beginner will hit the board and damage it, in addition to killing his shoulders for nothing.

By 2021, we had reduced the number of handles to a minimum and gained almost a kilogram per wing. On the V2 we offer thinner and more rigid handles.
In 2023, we have further optimized the number of handles to control the Wing with your fingertips only and adapt the position of your hand without ever losing control.

The choice is therefore three ideally placed handles:

  • One for moving it around and surfing on the leading edge.
  • A front handle on the central batten.
  • A long rear handle to adjust the power without letting go of the wing.

Windows or full canopy?

Wings without windows require a maneuverable, responsive wing and an experienced rider who sails instinctively. Always check your trajectory, especially in maneuvers and tricks.

Wings with windows are safer.
For beginners, a wing with windows is a must because safety comes first. They are used to see a silhouette to abort a dangerous curve that would cause a collision, without having to manipulate the Wing and expose yourself to a fall.

With or without battens?

In Waveriding, you need light wings. So the 2023 Neutra does not have full fiber battens. Simply small anti flap battens.

Equipments


  • The windows have been removed to save weight.
  • The new large rear handle naturally positions your hand where you are most comfortable. Once in flight, your hand won’t move much, but you’ll find this big handle very useful during take-off, pumping or certain tricks where moving your rear hand makes life easier. Easier to catch than the double handle, it remains precise in steering.



  • The handle for the front hand is placed ideally. Its position depends on the hollow, so it is more precise to have a small front handle because on a good wing the profile does not move back. There is no need to move your front hand.
  • A downwind handle on the leading edge that allows you to handle the shocked wing on land as well as on the water.
  • Two harness loops placed on the strut allow you to attach your GONG harness line to sail for long hours without getting tired.
  • The inflation/deflation valves are used directly with the tip of the hose (not supplied). No more non-compatible or lost nozzles!
  • The neoprene caps of the valves have been drilled to facilitate the evacuation of air when folding, even when closed!
  • The mini fiber battens at the trailing edge have been lightened for a considerable weight gain.



  • All our wings are supplied with a premium bag and a repair kit.
  • To comply with navigation regulations, we have integrated a plastic label on the intrados, close to the tip, to write down the owner’s personal information: surname, first name, telephone and address.

Warning

Vous devez lire entièrement le mode d’emploi détaillé avant la première utilisation de votre wing.

Soyez sûr de l’avoir parfaitement compris. Les ailes de wing peuvent être dangereuses selon leur taille et la force du vent. Il faut vérifier la plage de vent de votre wing et l’adapter à vos capacités réelles.

Pour les premières sessions, n’utilisez jamais votre nouvelle wing dans sa plage haute de vent. Utilisez votre wing dans un environnement sécurisé. Prenez le temps nécessaire pour apprendre le maniement de l’équipement dans des conditions optimum de sécurité. Ne sous-estimez jamais la force de traction de votre wing. Même une wing pour débutants peut développer une force de traction de plusieurs centaines de kilogrammes en fonction de sa taille et de la force du vent. Ne surestimez pas vos capacités. Une mauvaise utilisation peut provoquer des blessures graves ou causer la mort du pratiquant ou de tiers. N’utilisez pas votre wing en mer par vent de terre. Utilisez votre wing équipée d’un leash. Soyez vigilant pour éviter toute collision. Soyez extrêmement prudent si vous naviguez avec votre wing et une planche équipée d’un foil. Le fabricant décline tout responsabilité en cas de dégâts ou de dommages causés par l’usage inapproprié de la wing ou par imprudence.

Comment gonfler sa wing ?

Gonfler sa wing encore roulée peut engendrer des déplacements et des vrillages de vessie qui auront pour effet de déformer la wing gonflée ou de provoquer des hernies. Il est donc primordial de déplier intégralement sa wing avant de la gonfler par la valve de gonflage sur le bord d’attaque.

Comment faire sécher sa wing ?

A moins de terminer votre session par un long bord au soleil et d’accoster sur un ponton, il est plutôt rare de sortir de l’eau avec une wing complètement sèche. ? Sachez qu’il n’y a pas besoin de faire sécher sa wing si elle est amenée à être utilisée régulièrement en eau salée, le sel protégeant les matériaux de la moisissure.

Si néanmoins pour des raisons de transport ou de stockage vous voulez les faire sécher, il faut absolument éviter de suspendre la wing dégonflée par la poignée du bord d’attaque. C’est pourtant bien pratique mais c’est le meilleur moyen d’obtenir une belle hernie sur la latte centrale à la jonction avec le bord d’attaque suite à l’affaissement de la vessie à l’intérieur. Les vessies sont mobiles dans les lattes et le bord d’attaque. Donc si vous la suspendez pour la sécher dégonflée, la vessie peut glisser, voir se froisser, dans le fourreau de latte.

Donc dans l’idéal, on fait sécher sa wing gonflée et à l’ombre, et au pire à plat ou au moins avec juste le boudin central gonflé.

Généralités sur la wing

La wing est une aile à structure gonflable directement dans les mains du rider. Des poignées permettent de contrôler son vol et la puissance délivrée.

L’atout numéro 1 de la wing c’est l’absence de pied de mat. On peut ainsi passer d’une traction horizontale de type planche à voile à une traction verticale de type kite. On combine à loisir le meilleur des deux mondes, dans une liberté totale.

Bien moins compliquée qu’une aile de kite et bien moins lourde qu’une voile de windsurf, la wing vous allège au zénith et accélère face à vous.

La wing associe les avantages et les moves de ces deux sports, et elle en donne encore plus avec toutes les possibilités liées à la neutralité en surf, et aux rotations sous la wing et autres désaxages… le potentiel de moves est sans fin.

Moteur idéal d’un engin à foil, elle est bien plus rassurante qu’un kite et bien plus maniable qu’une voile de windsurf.

La wing est de loin le support le plus simple pour apprendre à faire du foil, loin devant tous les autres sports. Une super entrée en matière pour foiler ensuite dans les autres sports.

C’est l’engin parfait :

  • Compact, il tient dans une voiture et passe easy en avion.
  • Léger, on peut balader son quiver sans galérer.
  • On se met à l’eau n’importe où, sauf dans le shorebreak.
  • Très peu sensible à la qualité du vent. S’il tombe on rentre tranquille.
  • Un potentiel en surf et en tricks quasi infini sans pied de mat.
  • Des hautes performances pour un minimum de contraintes.
  • L’attrait de la nouveauté, ça fait du bien de changer parfois.
  • Aucun danger majeur.
  • Du smile, du smile et du smile.

Avec sa glisse, on n’est pas obligé de surtoiler pour s’éclater. Dans les rafales, sa structure encaisse naturellement les excès de puissance. Les pros pourront mettre un harnais pour toiler plus et doper les performances. Mais les amateurs trouveront aussi un vrai soulagement dans le harnais. Contrairement aux idées reçues, c’est la wing qui porte vos bras, pas l’inverse. Mais après deux heures sans harnais, il faut avouer que la fatigue est là. Libre à chacun de s’accrocher à mains nues ou de se soulager.

Idéale avec un foil, elle demande plus d’air qu’un kite qui aura toujours comme avantage de tracter énormément dès 4/5 nœuds. La wing va demander entre 10 et 15 nœuds pour s’exprimer sur un foil et restera super facile même dans 35 nœuds, voire 50 nœuds, là où le kite rime souvent avec grosse prise de risque.

Elle est géniale avec une pure board de wing, mais aussi avec de multiples supports tels que :

  • SUP foil
  • Surf foil
  • Stand Up Paddle SUP (rigides ou gonflables)
  • Skate
  • Roller
  • Mountain board
  • Tout ce qui glisse sur la neige
  • Etc.

Les atouts de la wing sont clairement identifiés : simplicité, compacité et légèreté apportent une liberté de mouvement et une facilité de prise en main inégalées. La wing est prête à voler en 1min chrono : pas de ligne à dérouler, simplement deux lattes souples à insérer dans leur fourreau, quelques coups de pompe et c’est parti.

La technologie utilisée pour la fabrication des wings est très proche de celle de nos ailes de kitesurf, mais en beaucoup plus solide. De multiples renforts sont présents sur les zones d’efforts en fonction des différentes utilisations.

Le shape de la wing est « auto-stable ». N’imaginez pas l’orienter par la force des poignets sur un wishbone : ça ne marche pas comme ça. Vous baissez la main arrière : la wing se met à plat au-dessus de votre tête. Vous la montez et la wing se met à la verticale. Easy ! C’est ce qu’on appelle le pilotage parapluie ou paravent. On dit souvent que les débuts en wing ressemblent plus à de la pole dance qu’à du windsurf. En effet, il faut quasiment avoir la main arrière à la verticale sous la main avant quand on ne vole pas, pour maintenir la Wing en parapluie. Ainsi on l’éloigne de l’eau, et on utilise sa traction avec le même angle qu’un kite pour s’alléger. Alors pensez pole dance ;-)))
