Wing Neutra Boom
















Program
The smooth and precise wing for surfing and riding with total fluidity, in a 100% boom version.
Presentation
The 100% Boom Neutra Perf 2026 is perfect for modern wave riding and relaxed freeride. Capable of surfing, turning, and jumping with fine, controlled precision, it remains at the same time extremely smooth and forgiving.
This wing is the softest and most fluid in the range, the one that completely disappears at key moments so you can focus on surfing. Its legendary neutrality sets it apart. For 2026, it gains in power and dynamism to meet the demands of today’s riding. You can now use the wing more effectively in the waves, like a windsurf sail, while still retaining its unique ability to vanish in surf or freefly.
The new 2026 shape brings a major evolution. The span is significantly reduced and the tips, now squarer, are set back. This gives greater compactness, maneuverability, and control in committed bottom turns. The chord has been slightly increased, bringing more torque and traction without altering the Neutra’s signature smoothness.
The leading edge is more curved and more set back near the tips, with improved segmentation that ensures perfectly even behavior. Under load, the tips can twist—but always in a controlled way—delivering steady, precise, well-balanced traction. This new stability keeps the power exactly where you want it, without unwanted variations, for clean and predictable handling.
The profile is slightly deeper than before, providing more punch and relaunch capacity while remaining totally neutralizable when you depower. This allows the use of smaller sizes in the waves, easier takeoffs (especially with a small foil), and the ability to handle gusts calmly. The sensation is less compact than a Droid: it doesn’t pull hard but instead vanishes in the wind and absorbs gusts gently. The feel in your hands is always refined: fluid, feline, and comfortable.
The 100% Boom Neutra Perf 2026 preserves the fabulous glide inherited from the Neutra Aramid, but in a more breathable and forgiving Dacron version. You still get the same steering precision, but with a more relaxed, physically accessible character—perfect for riding without a harness or strapless.
Delivered with a boom, it retains all the advantages of this system: infinite maneuver possibilities with one or two hands, total control, and optimal harness line placement. The strap-sewn circular fixings ensure maximum long-term durability. As always with this program, every gram saved counts: no window, an optimized center strut, and micro-struts on the trailing edge to reduce flutter and extend the wing’s lifespan. Note: the boom version is actually the lightest, contrary to what many assume, because it uses fewer connection parts.
The Neutra Perf 2026 is available in sizes from 2 to 5.5 m², with a shape optimized for each wind range.
It’s the ideal wing for riders who want perfect control while surfing, with a wing that matches the needs of today’s wave riding: more compact, more powerful, more versatile, yet still smooth and precise.

Highly segmented leading edge
The new segmentation with four short segments at the tips boosts the wing’s spin, provides more forgiveness, and reduces the impact of tip touches on the water.
The distribution of the leading edge is very even, maintaining a short section at the center, which makes the wing very rigid in this area. This consistency ensures perfect twist control, which gradually increases toward the tips. The center of the wing pulls, while the tips absorb gusts, providing complete control.
Moderate ratio
The Neutra features a more compact outline. Its moderate aspect ratio offers the ideal compromise between improved maneuverability and high efficiency. It cranks upwind efficiently and allows for great fluidity in maneuvers.
The moderate span also makes pumping more natural and intuitive by lifting the tips higher off the water.
Rounded leading edge
The leading edge has been re-segmented for increased smoothness, better rotation, and a lighter feel.
The curvature enhances maneuverability.
The leading edge arc releases the Neutra, enabling it to shift orientation with ease, particularly when steered with the downwind/surf handle.
The wing can be effortlessly reoriented with minimal pressure. It provides extremely smooth, fine control. This is true on reaches, particularly upwind, but especially when surfing with the wing in hand. It places itself exactly as you direct it, in the blink of an eye.
This curve adds smoothness to its entry into the air. The Neutra is progressive and free. It’s an extremely intuitive wing, with no roughness, offering very fluid handling.
The wing doesn’t snag when it touches the water. Perfect for pumping, maneuvers, and especially when surfing with the wing in hand. Instead, you can sometimes lean on the tip, or at least never worry about water contact, such as during bottom turns.
Limited tip twist
On the Neutra 2026, as across the entire range, the base twist has been eliminated: the draft remains locked in place, and the pull is perfectly stable.
At the tips, only a dynamic twist remains, controlled by segmentation. This micro-twist activates only under wind pressure, releasing excess power and converting it into glide and acceleration.
The gradual tapering of the leading edge diameter toward the ends enhances this controlled “breathing”: the wing retains its power, but with a consistent and predictable feel in the hands.
Thin profile
The thin profile is designed for maximum glide and exceptional lightness in the hands.
It’s smoother, more centered, and more balanced: the wing never pulls you. You get just the right amount of power, without any excess.
It feels noticeably more precise and agile
Navigating without a harness remains easy. It pulls forward without yanking, relying on its glide finesse for performance. It’s a high-performance wing with no limits.

Buying guide
For whom?
Glide lovers, freeflyers, and waveriders—welcome!
The Neutra is designed for riders seeking a light, responsive, and ultra-high-performance wing, without sacrificing accessibility. Whether you’re a motivated beginner, a seasoned rider, or an expert chasing finesse, this wing adapts to everyone thanks to its forgiving and intuitive design.
With its carbon boom, it offers unmatched handling and instant power transfer—ideal for those who want to refine their style and push their limits, both in waves and downwind.
You don’t need the physique of a lumberjack or the stamina of a marathon runner to unlock its potential. The Neutra breathes with you, supports your progress, and helps you improve effortlessly.
For what?
The Neutra Perf shines in every aspect of waveriding:
Take-offs between waves: its lightweight build makes pumping easy and intuitive, while the rounded tips help flip the wing smoothly between foamy sections.
Intuitive surfing: precise, fluid handling lets you carve radical lines without ever cramping your style.
Jumps: it delivers enough lift to launch, with a solid core stiffness for big height and glide. The rounded tips also help with clean landings, ready for the next move.
Maneuvers: smooth and discreet in flight, it keeps transitions under control—tacks, jibes, 360s… everything flows naturally.
It’s also an outstanding freefly wing, perfect for cruising without constraints, with breathtaking neutrality. Let it disappear when you glide, then instantly tap back into power the moment you need it.
Bonus: While it shines downwind, one of its biggest assets is its impressive upwind ability—so you can string together downwind runs without compromise.
Neutra or Droid?
Neutra: Ideal for those who prioritize surfing and smooth gliding.
Droid: Powerful, compact, and agile, it’s perfect for freestyle addicts. Ideal for those who like it strong, it’s perfect for throwing tricks and going all out in freeride, while still excelling in surfing.
Each model has its own personality, but they all share a common goal: to provide you with the best experience on the water, with style and performance.
Understanding the GONG range
Plus: A versatile, accessible wing designed for progression.
Droid: Explosive power for surfing and freestyle.
Neutra: The fluid wing for surfing, freefly, and endless carving.
Whether you're a beginner or an expert, the Neutra is here to enhance your riding. Light, smooth, and precise: simply irresistible.
What size?
Don’t overestimate the power of wings. A rider weighing 85kg will need 15-20 knots with a 5m² wing to fly at first. After about fifteen sessions, they will be able to fly at 15 knots with a 5m². And if they are athletic, they will pump hard and lift off at 12 knots in 5m² to get through lulls at 8 knots. This is a learning process and takes time.
Which material?
The choice of leading edge material depends mainly on your program and goals. If you prefer cruising in freeride, are just starting tricks, or enjoy surf and freefly, a Dacron leading edge and central strut will be ideal.
If, on the other hand, you love riding hard with a wing that pulls powerfully and will fly sky high, don’t hesitate! The UPE Aramid will provide absolute stiffness with undeniable advantages. The performance gap is significant—it goes faster, higher, and turns incredibly well thanks to its thinner diameters.
Finally, to push even further into the performance realm, combine the UPE Aramid structure with the ultra-rigid Code X canopy fabric. You’ll boost your performance by 15%, reaching the pinnacle of high-level wing performance.
Which quiver?
The Neutra wing works with everything but pairs especially well with a compact, lightweight board—or a Cruzader for light wind.
Here are the typical pairings:
Cruzader for light wind
Mint for freeride
Stunt for freestyle
Mint, a short Cruzader, a Squash or a Lethal for freefly
Lethal for surf
Naturally, it’s best matched with a performance-oriented foil, with an 85cm mast. Ideal foil pairings:
Veloce HDW or Sirus for light wind
Fluid for freeride
Ypra Surf-Freestyle for freestyle
Veloce for freefly
Curve or Fluid for surf
To complete the setup, you can (and should) add a SUP or a surf foil for no-wind days, a kite to get airborne and probably a quiver of surfboards for those perfect waves. But if you’re venturing into wing foiling, chances are you already have some of these toys in your garage.
What leash?
A wing leash from 5'5" to 8' is ideal. Preferably one designed specifically for winging, and of the coiled-type leash style. A short leash makes it easier to grab the wing quickly. A long leash keeps the wing further away from foil drops in the sail, giving it more space to move.
Always check its condition before each session and replace it every year. It’s your life vest.
Don’t let your wing flap around in the wind at the end of the leash, it’s not indestructible! Also, in the waves, don’t hold onto the wing with the leash, it will break or you may injure yourself.
Harness or not?
When riding the Neutra, the harness is really not essential. It’s a great wing with bare hands.
Riding without a harness feels liberating as you have full freedom of movement. It’s a very pleasant feeling.
That being said, you’ll need to use a smaller wing and do shorter reaches to avoid tiring out your arms. This also means you'll have to pump frequently to take off again.
All our wings come with harness line attachments.
This gives you the option to use a harness or not.
Therefore, if you prefer to ride powered up, using a harness is almost essential if you don’t want your sessions to be cut short after an hour. Setting up the harness lines is very easy (refer to our tutorials on the forum). We suggest using the least rigid and most minimal harness, with either a small hook or a windsurf-style hook for better comfort.
Lengths of 24 to 28 cm between the strut and the V-shape’s end will be perfect.
A length of 30 to 32 cm makes learning easier. A small diameter line and a thin sheath are essential, as windsurfing lines, for example, are too heavy and rigid, making them dangerous during tacks and other tricks.
So it’s up to you to decide if the sensation and aesthetics take priority over performance. But more and more riders are using harnesses, as the trend is towards more powerful wings and higher performance.
Soft handles, semi-rigid handles, rigid handles, or boom?
The choice is yours, but the trend towards the boom is clear:
Soft textile handles for beginners, for surfing, for freefly, to protect yourself and the board, and for a very light wing.
Semi-rigid textile handles for a good level of performance thanks to precise and responsive handling, as well as better energy transmission during pumping, for example.
Carbon rigid handles to keep it light and generate stronger traction. Handling is extremely precise. The pistol grip on the front handle is very comfortable and practical.
Boom for maximum power and a true “windsurf” sensation. You have the freedom to grip the wing as you wish. It allows for more tricks and a broader range of use, all while being very lightweight, contrary to what you might think.
Handles offer very compact storage in a backpack, while the boom is stored lengthwise. However, it's worth noting that you can fit just as many boom wings as handle wings in a board bag. The boom doesn’t take up more space, it just occupies it differently.
Windows or full canopy?
Wings without windows are less expensive, 200g lighter, and more compact for storage.
Wings with windows are safer, more rigid, and offer quicker responsiveness.
For beginners, a wing with windows is essential because safety takes priority over the few grams you might lose. The windows are not for sightseeing: they are designed to let you see a silhouette to prevent executing a dangerous turn that could cause a collision.
Equipments
Harness line to be fixed directly on the boom, 100% compatible.
Our harness lines we developed are designed specifically for this boom, enabling you to attach your GONG harness line and ride for extended sessions without getting tired.
Semi-rigid textile Downwind handle.
Almost rigid, it greatly enhances the control of the wing in both freefly and surfing.
The new oval stitching and reinforcements on the downwind handle anchor points help distribute the forces more evenly across the leading edge, ensuring long-lasting durability.
The Dyneema leash attachment is now located on the intrados side of the DW handle, preventing the leash from getting in the way while freeflying.
Carbon boom
Introducing a major innovation: the Perf Series wings in a 100% boom version.
Take advantage of all the advancements of the boom technology from our Team Series wings on our wings that are not only affordable in price but also more comfortable to hold.
lighter
less drag
more grip
more comfort
improved performance
The boom has become essential for performing at the highest level. Indeed, one-handed tricks have become a must. And what a boost in freedom! Our wings feature the most ergonomic, lightweight, durable, and rigid boom on the market.
Our prepreg carbon boom offers a significant weight reduction compared to rigid handles, as it eliminates two fixations, saving over 200 grams. This is further complemented by an additional 30 grams saved thanks to the thinner strut.
This weight saving is crucial for surfing and freefly, as it ensures the wing remains perfectly neutral and balanced.
Zero flex in the strut thanks to the carbon boom, which absorbs the forces. A strut that doesn't bend means a taut trailing edge, resulting in a powerful wing that doesn't flutter and offers perfect glide.
The boom features a pistol grip at the front, allowing you to maintain and adjust the power as needed. This eliminates the risk of flapping, which can slow you down in waves, particularly when surfing in offshore winds.
The strut’s shape and the boom’s angle are carefully engineered to trim the wing naturally, eliminating the need to constantly bend your back arm. This not only balances the traction in your arms but also allows you to generate maximum power with minimal effort, perfect for jumps and other maneuvers.
This is also highly useful when you’re overpowered: gone is the feeling of being yanked, as the wing stays fully controllable, ensuring maximum comfort.
Quick inflation with the One Pump system
The leading edge and central strut are connected by the One Pump system for quick inflation in one go. The clip then locks the airflow between the bladders to ensure the wing’s buoyancy in case of a leak in the strut or leading edge. This feature is vital for safety.
The inflation valve on the leading edge is doubled on the strut for immediate deflation and compact storage. Using One Pump, you inflate through the leading edge only in a few seconds and deflate just as quickly by unscrewing both valves.
Fiberglass micro-battens
Micro fiberglass battens on the trailing edge: light and very effective in preventing flapping. They maintain the profile all the way to the trailing edge for optimal airflow.
Lightweight and strong, they are easily replaceable to keep your wing in top condition year after year.
Camera safety loops
To capture your wing sessions, we’ve added a discreet nylon leash attachment on each tip and near the strut to secure your camera mounted on the leading edge or strut with a Flymount, allowing you to ride without stress. The leash attachment is strategically placed so it doesn’t interfere with your camera’s field of view! You’ll be able to create stunning shots and share them without the risk of losing your camera!
Repair kit
A repair kit, including bladder patches and fabric, is included with your wing.
Carry bag
A durable and practical backpack comes with your wing. It’s perfectly designed with a large U-shaped zipper for easy storage, a ventilation grid, comfortable padding, compression straps, and straps for the pump (not provided).
Don't forget to bring a pump!

IS THE NEUTRA A BEGINNER WING?
La Neutra est une wing facile qui permet débuter car elle est douce en vol et très maniable. Mais une Plus sera plus puissante et plus compacte, donc plus efficace pour débuter et progresser. Un débutant a besoin de traction pour décoller, et d’avoir des tips ramassées pour pomper sans accrocher.
IS THE NEUTRA A LIGHTWEIGHT WING?
Undoubtedly, the Neutra is a light wing that also provides an incredible sensation of lightness thanks to its slim profile. It is smooth and highly responsive.
WHICH WAVE WING SHOULD I CHOOSE?
Within our comprehensive range, we offer several wings tailored for wave riding. Depending on your conditions and experience, you should lean towards one model or another.
- Plus: A perfect progression wing, it’s also the most versatile in the range. It excels in all programs, offering great performance in the waves with solid power for upwind and perfect balance for freefly/surf.
- Droid: Surf / freestyle at the highest level with this wing, which is both a real catapult and incredibly subtle when surfing. Powerful, you can ride with very little wind, allowing you to use the smallest wing possible in the waves. Its small wingspan makes surfing easier, especially with the handles in hand.
- Neutra : 100% waves, this is the most efficient wing for surfing and freefly. Light, ultra-maneuverable, and smooth, it has all the qualities of a pure surf wing.
Neutra or Droid?
- If you primarily want to surf and also send tricks in the waves, go for the Neutra.
- If you want to focus on freestyle performance but also enjoy waveriding when conditions allow, choose the Droïd.
Both wings perform incredibly well in all areas, but each one shines in its own way! ;)
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NEUTRA AND A DROID?
The draft and the ratio are almost the opposite on these two wave wings.
The Neutra is quite conventional in pumping, with a soft and progressive takeoff, relying on a moderate traction sensation. You can feel the tips working during pumping, which gives it a very pleasant and classic feel.
The Droid is a catapult that pulls forward with an important draft but a very reduced wingspan. It pulls decisively, without any hesitation, at the slightest puff of wind, and accelerates instantly without snagging the water.
Before takeoff, when underpowered, the Neutra will give a very light pull that you'll need to stimulate with some pumping, while the Droid will always provide a firm push to initiate pumping.
The Droid will offer better performance with an underpowered board in light winds. Conversely, you may prefer the smooth glide of the Neutra on a board that glides easily, like a Cruzader.
Neutra or Droid?
- If you primarily want to surf and also send tricks in the waves, go for the Neutra.
- If you want to focus on freestyle performance but also enjoy waveriding when conditions allow, choose the Droid.
Both wings perform incredibly well in all areas, but each one shines in its own way! ;)
WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED INFLATION PRESSURE?
The recommended pressure is shown in the table below:
Several factors should be taken into account:
- An underinflated wing will be unstable and hard to control in gusty winds.
- An overinflated wing increases the risk of bursting during a crash and will wear out the seams and materials faster.
- If you leave your wing inflated in the sun for long periods, we suggest slightly deflating it to prevent seam fatigue.
- The larger the leading edge diameter, the greater the risk of bursting. Avoid overinflating large wings.
HOW TO MAINTAIN MY WING EQUIPMENT?
To extend the lifespan of your equipment, the way you use it and its regular maintenance will be crucial.
One important tip is to avoid leaving your wing inflated for long periods when not in use! The flapping of the fabric in the wind can lead to premature wear on the materials, as can prolonged exposure to UV rays.
Frequent rinsing of your wing with running water is also not recommended. The chlorine present in tap water can damage the surface treatments of your wing. Instead, it’s better to store your wing dry and remove any excess sand
In case of a punctured strut or leading edge, use your repair kit or consult our spare parts catalog to order the replacement part.
Systematically inspect the condition of your wing. Look for any holes or cuts and repair them before they worsen.
If your wing is damaged, you can get it repaired directly at the GONG workshop by reaching out to our sail loft: HERE.
