Neutra Boom Wing
















Program
The go-to wave and freefly wing for improving in surfing and jumps, offered in a boom only design.
Presentation
The Neutra Boom is the perfect wing for surfing and jumping.
Multiple World Champion in Surf-Freestyle and Big Air, this wing has made history in the world of board sports with iconic victories, such as Malo Guénolé's epic win at the legendary Punta Preta righthander in Cape Verde.
This wing is undeniably the most efficient in waves, delivering the perfect blend of fluidity, control, and maneuverability.
Inspired by the sleek design of the Neutra Aramid, a market benchmark, this Perf Series version in Dacron retains that incredible glide while adding a laid-back edge.
The 2025 model upgrades glide and finesse in hand. The increased aspect ratio, combined with more segmentation, has allowed for a reduction of surface on the tips. This adjustment improves the wing's overall fluidity, boosting rotations and enhancing its lightweight feel. Pumping is more intuitive, making take-offs and relaunches easier.
The wing's exceptional on-demand neutrality allows for seamless, dynamic surfing. Its capacity to fade away during critical moments and instantly restore power makes the Neutra 2025 ideal for free-flying or wave riding with the wing in hand.
The roundness and finesse of its leading edge enable precise and ultra-radical control on the most technical sections of the wave. When the tips touch the water, their rounded design prevents catching water—an indispensable quality for wave riding and fast maneuvers.
Finally, its moderate dihedral prevents it from flipping over when free-flying. The Neutra settles effortlessly into the airflow and remains perfectly stable—a major advantage.
High-performing yet smooth and accessible, the Neutra 2025 is perfect for riding without a harness, thanks to its natural ability to release excess power. Its upwind capabilities make reaching the waves effortless, allowing for unforgettable downwind sessions.
Ranging from 2 to 5.5 m², it offers a shape tailored to each wind condition, providing flawless coherence throughout the quiver.

HIGHLY SEGMENTED LEADING EDGE
The new tip segmentation, with 4 additional segments, results in a smoother behavior and reduces the impact of touches, allowing the wing to glide over 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 streamlined outline, with a moderate aspect ratio offering 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.
DYNAMIC TIP TWIST
The leading edge narrows rapidly and sharply toward the tips, enhancing glide, rotation, and maneuverability.
The tips, now more twisted and dynamically "twistable" than before, deliver an incredible sense of lightness and complete freedom.
During tricks, you feel perfect fluidity and an acceleration in the rotations.
The refined tips absorb gusts by releasing excess pressure, letting the wing breathe. You maintain control and never feel overwhelmed.
VERY THIN PROFILE
The ultra-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 wave riders—welcome!
The Neutra is designed for those seeking a lightweight, responsive, and ultra-high-performance wing without compromising on accessibility. Whether you’re a motivated beginner, an experienced rider, or an expert looking for finesse, this wing adapts to everyone with its forgiving and intuitive design.
With its carbon boom, it offers unmatched maneuverability and immediate power transfer, making it ideal for those who want to refine their style and explore new limits, both in waves and downwind.
You don’t need the strength of a lumberjack or the stamina of a marathon runner to enjoy its potential. The Neutra breathes, supports you, and helps you progress effortlessly.
What for?
The Neutra excels in every aspect of wave riding:
Take-off between waves: Its lightness makes pumping easy and ensures an intuitive start. The rounded tips help you flip the wing smoothly in between two waves.
Intuitive surfing: Its precise and fluid handling allows for radical turns without compromising your style.
Jumps: It pulls just enough for take-off, while its rigidity ensures high jumps and smooth gliding. The tips also aid in clean landings, making transitions seamless.
Maneuvers: Perfect for transitions thanks to its in-flight discretion—tacks, jibes, 360s, etc., are fluid and under full control.
It’s also an exceptional wing for freefly, ideal for effortless cruising. Its breathtaking neutrality allows it to disappear as you glide, and power is instantly accessible whenever you need it.
Bonus: While it shines in downwind runs, a major advantage is its impressive upwind ability, letting you link multiple runs with ease.
Neutra or Droid?
- Neutra: Perfect for those prioritizing smooth surfing and fluid glide. If you want to ride gracefully with style, this is your pick.
- Droid: Compact, powerful, and maneuverable, it’s ideal for freestyle enthusiasts who crave explosive energy. Perfect for tricks, aggressive freeriding, and still excellent in surf conditions.
Each wing has its unique personality, but both share the same DNA: 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.
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:
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
Quel 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?
With a Neutra, the harness is not really unnecessary. It’s perfect to ride without one. 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.

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.
Always deflate the strut at the same time as the leading edge. Wings don’t like to stay inflated with just the strut pressurized.
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!

Neutra Boom or Neutra with carbon rigid handles?
Is the Neutra a beginner wing?
The Neutra is an easy wing, ideal for beginners, as it flies smoothly and is very maneuverable. However, the Plus is more powerful and compact, making it better suited for learning and progressing. A beginner needs traction to take off and a more compact design to pump without catching water.
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 in pumping 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.
