Wing Plus - 5 m² Green Second Hand 12263
Presentation
The versatile and easy-to-use wing for learning and progressing! It’s the allround wing in our range.
Program
With the Plus 2025, you'll progress more quickly than with any other wing.
Far from being just a beginner’s choice, it shines as the most versatile and progressive wing in our range.
The 2025 edition delivers more power thanks to a wider chord and improved glide through a slightly higher ratio. These adjustments boost its performance, ensuring earlier lift-off and an unparalleled sense of lightness. Its lightweight design enables long, comfortable sessions while simplifying maneuvers. Progressing becomes pure pleasure!
With its more curved leading edge and slightly moved-back tips, it achieves perfect balance, naturally positioning itself in the wind. Its intuitive control offers remarkable stability, enabling you to immediately find the right course. It feels almost like autopilot!
The new GFS V2 system introduces unprecedented modularity: the Plus comes with V2 semi-rigid textile handles but can quickly be upgraded with rigid handles or a boom to suit your preferences and performance needs. These interchangeable handles ensure optimized control, increased stiffness with redesigned fastenings, and unmatched comfort while riding.
Featuring an advanced, pronounced profile supported by mini battens with molded tips, the wing delivers optimal power for pumping and acceleration, even in light wind. This setup, along with a reduced strut diameter, boosts aerodynamic efficiency and increases stability in gusty conditions.
Equipped with 5 seamlessly integrated panoramic windows, the Plus guarantees maximum visibility and improved safety, especially when anticipating your moves on the first few reaches. Additionally, the leash loop for a camera at the end of the central strut lets you capture your sessions without worry.
The evolution of this model year after year is incredible. Maneuverability and accessibility are enhanced, while control becomes smoother and more comfortable. Whether it's for your first runs or perfecting your maneuvers, the Plus will never disappoint.
When it comes to pure performance, the Plus stands toe-to-toe with the top wings available. Its sleek design and technical upgrades make it an incredibly versatile wing for every program: from freeride to race, waves, freefly, and even freestyle. Compact, powerful, light, and adaptable, it ticks every box.
This is not a beginner's wing that you'll sell off soon: it’s perfect for 80% of foilers, whether novice or expert, due to its outstanding adaptability and all-around performance.

Buying guide
For whom?
Ideal for beginners due to its easy, smooth, and predictable character, it is designed for riders who want to enjoy long freeride sessions in great comfort. Riders who have no need for an overly specialized wing for a specific discipline.
Experienced riders will appreciate it with rigid handles for its versatility, enabling them to truly take advantage of all winging programs.
The Plus wing, built for beginners but also great for experts, is ideal for discovering the sport and making fast progress.
What for?
Versatility and accessibility are the key qualities of the Plus.
Clearly, its role is to ease your first year of winging, but not only that!
Light, powerful, and easy, it has all the qualities to take you to a high level and even beyond.
It will meet all your needs because:
It is maneuverable with precise handling.
It is light, making it great for freefly and surfing.
It provides lift in jumps with its significant power.
It adjusts as the wind increases with the controlled twisting of the tips.
It guarantees you’ll relaunch even if the wind drops.
An ideal wing for beginners or for those who want an allround wing!
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 quiver?
The Plus is highly versatile and can be used with a wide variety of boards and foils:
Beginners will prefer a HIPE First, Lance, or Zuma for their stability and easy glide. An X-Over foil will be the perfect match for this wing and these boards.
Advanced riders will pair it with a Mint or Lemon for more responsiveness, using a Curve, Curve H, or Fluid foil.
Those who enjoy light wind will adore it with a Cruzader and a high-lift foil like the Sirus.
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.
With or without a harness?
No harness is needed to start, quite the opposite. You’ll be doing short reaches and often getting back on the board. Using a harness places the wing in full power in front of you, with the tip close to the water. This is the best way to get catapulted if the tip catches the water and you don’t know how to react.
However, the Plus allows for significant progress, so nothing stops you from adding a harness line once you reach the level to do long tacks and extend your sessions instead of relying on your arms ;-)
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:
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
Panoramic windows
Integrated harness leash attachment system
Two discreet harness attachment points, ideally placed on the strut, allow you to connect your GONG harness line for hours of fatigue-free riding.
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.
A set of semi-rigid handles
A set of semi-rigid textile handles is included with your wing. New longitudinal stitching gives them the rigidity that made our downwind handles a success.
The integrated GFS system allows you to upgrade your wing with a boom or rigid carbon handles to adapt your wing to your level or specific needs.
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!
