Program
The Pulse Race Aramid CZ is the ultimate racing wing in our range. With its strong performance on the late 2024 IWSA circuit, this wing is set to become the go-to choice for our team riders in the 2025 race circuit. Boasting exceptional power and unmatched rigidity, it provides lightning-fast acceleration with outstanding stability at high speeds.
Presentation
The 2025 Pulse Race Aramid CZ is the ultimate wing for racing and speed.
The wing that revolutionized racing with the invention of the Double Profile retains the DNA that made it a success and takes it to the ultimate level: increased responsiveness at high speeds, more power, yet perfectly controlled, and unparalleled glide at all speeds.
This new version takes performance even further with an entirely redesigned outline that centralizes the power at the core of the wing. You can feel the power in your hands. The tips are lighter, more mobile, and less cumbersome. This refined design provides improved control and exceptional precision, even at high speeds, enabling you to set new records with full confidence.
With reduced drag on the tips and increased responsiveness, it glides more smoothly and helps prevent errors at buoy turns, for instance.
The double profile of the 2025 Pulse Race Aramid CZ is a groundbreaking innovation that transforms wingfoil performance. This unique design, incorporating a closed intrados, improves airflow and drastically reduces drag. The outcome: remarkable stability at high speeds and impressive efficiency across all points of sail. This double profile also allows the wing to settle perfectly in the air, providing consistent traction and smooth glide, essential for maximizing performance in racing or freerace. A technical advancement that places this wing at the forefront of innovation.
The new Code Zero spinnaker marks a pivotal advancement. This ultra-stiff laminate, designed from lightweight racing sails, guarantees complete firmness, preventing any deformation. Its durability and ability to maintain shape at high speeds make it the top choice for demanding riders.
The complete battens system of the 2025 Pulse Race Aramid CZ enhances its performance with three key technologies. Structural battens, stretched from the leading edge to the trailing edge, stabilize the profile, ensuring a locked and precise shape. Battens integrated into the tips reinforce their rigidity and increase the tension on the trailing edge, maximizing the wing's efficiency at high speeds. Lastly, anti-vibration battens minimize flapping, guaranteeing a smooth glide and exceptional comfort. This advanced batten system gives the Pulse unparalleled stiffness and precision, ideal for pushing your limits.
The 2025 Pulse features a unique shape with a reinforced central section that enhances the overall rigidity of the wing. Its moderately concave profile is positioned further back to provide smooth and precise glide, particularly upwind, where races are frequently decided.
The UPE Aramid inflatable structure, paired with the Code Zero canopy, provides unparalleled rigidity and lightness. This combination enables the Pulse to align perfectly in the air, delivering consistent traction, explosive acceleration, and remarkable speeds.
To fully embrace the race wing concept, the freefly handle is removed, and the leash loop is shifted to the central batten in front of the boom. Maximum glide through the air.
It remains outstanding in freerace or light wind conditions. Its low wind range efficiency, similar to that of a single-skin shape, and its capacity to capture every gust of wind make it a powerful tool for pushing your performance to the limit.
The V2 boom, featuring EVA bumpers, offers outstanding comfort and ergonomics while safeguarding your board against shocks. Its ends are unbreakable, lightweight, and perfectly integrated, delivering a sleek design and long-lasting durability.
The 2025 Pulse Race Aramid CZ is far more than just a racing wing. It transforms the experience of wingfoiling speed runs locked in a harness, offering uncompromising control, power, and precision. Whether you're chasing competition wins or personal bests, it empowers you to push boundaries with a design built to dominate the race.
The best of race wing technology, developed through the expertise of our World Champion team riders, designers, and engineers, offering unparalleled power, stiffness, and performance.
DOUBLE PROFILE: A GONG INNOVATION
Careful consideration was essential to transform a widely shared concept into reality. This is where the true innovation comes into play:
- Calibrate the length of the double profile to refine glide while maintaining take-off efficiency.
- Explore every practical application to develop a series-ready product that feels extremely easy to handle.
- Fine-tuning the tension of this internal double skin to maximize performance without affecting the aerodynamics of extrados. Sounds simple, but it’s far from it!
- Discovering a smart way to empty water from the double skin during falls, avoiding any convoluted mechanisms.
In every aspect—shape design, material innovation, and manufacturing—GONG offers solutions that feel nothing short of revolutionary.
Let’s be honest: if you were ever passionate about windsurf slalom, you’ve probably felt like something was missing in wingfoiling. That sensation of being perfectly harnessed into a rig that drives continuously and glides infinitely. Effortless acceleration, whenever you want it.
The Pulse Race Aramid CZ constantly provides maximum power for increased speed.
This wing locks perfectly into the wind and harnesses the apparent wind. At takeoff, it feels standard, but once you’re locked in and accelerating, you’ll be blown away by its incredibly stable performance and its almost limitless acceleration.
Smaller foils can be used to glide even faster. You can also downsize your wing, though it’s not necessary.
Its performance in the wind is incredibly smooth yet powerful. It requires a bit of adjustment, but after a few runs, it becomes completely addictive. You’ll never feel this level of comfort at 30 knots, this ease when pointing upwind, or the unstoppable glide when bearing off. In a way, it’s like discovering Wing racing for the first time.
Increasing volume of the intrados reduces power when starting, but amplifies it as you pick up speed. So, it pulls a bit less at takeoff, but the traction increases progressively. Yet, this immense traction is totally locked in. Nothing moves. In fact, you get more lift, which allows you to settle fully into the harness. Riding without a harness is limited to just a few hundred meters and will reduce your performance: this is a race wing!!!
In the bustle of the starting line, the Pulse Race Aramid CZ remains largely unaffected by the wakes of other wings. When you’re familiar with your depowering/powering up technique, you can fine-tune your glide and cut through the wake of others without cavitation. The jibes and tacks are pure racing: you dive in full throttle and own the power through the curve!
UPE ARAMID
Part of the secret of this Pulse lies in the revolutionary material of its inflatable structure.
GONG innovated with UPE Aramid on the Pulse DP in 2023, and this was just the beginning!
UPE Aramid is the lightest and stiffest material on the market. The sensations in hand are simply astonishing. The wing is both one of the stiffest and one of the lightest on the market, providing an entirely new sailing experience, all at an amazing price. It’s simply incredible and perfectly in line with our commitment to offering the best to as many people as possible.
At 85g/m2 (2 times less than Dacron!), this UPE Aramid present on the leading edge and the central batten ensures, in addition to a considerable weight savings (400g on a 5m2), an unparalleled gain in stiffness and reactivity. It’s simple: the wing no longer bends! We control its twisting through the Aramid axis and the design of the shape. Thus, deformations are no longer present.
In addition to its exceptional mechanical properties, this material also has a very low absorption rate. The wing gains very little weight when wet.
Obviously, a superb material without perfect assembly is worthless, and we have worked in infinite detail to ensure the reliability of the technical solutions for its implementation. For this, we have tested all known assemblies on traction machines and innovated with new and exclusive assembly methods at GONG to surpass the standards. Our wings have never been so robust.
Better than gold !!!
LEADING EDGE OUTLINE
The outline has been redesigned to offer even more acceleration and power. Its shape, with more surface area at the center and thinner tips, makes it much more compact and concentrates the power at the center of the wing.
The power is evenly distributed in the hands. This also gives it much more efficiency at all points of sail.
The wing accelerates while maintaining maximum control.
The wingspan is reduced thanks to this new outline. Less wingspan = more safety = fewer falls = more podiums.
With reduced drag on the tips and significantly more responsiveness, this shape allows for smoother gliding and helps avoid mistakes at the buoys, for example.
PERFECT BALANCE OF GLIDE AND RIGIDITY
With the rigidity of Aramid, the Pulse Race is extremely stiff. The leading edge diameters have been optimized using this groundbreaking material, achieving a perfect balance of glide and rigidity.
The new 3+6 batten system enhances stability and provides the crucial sense of rigidity at high speeds. We are getting very close to what is used in windsurfing, and it's no coincidence because the increasing speeds require this rigidity. The central batten, a GONG innovation, ensures the profile stays perfectly in place. The two large battens add stiffness, and the six mini battens reduce vibrations to a minimum.
This configuration is the result of nearly a year of testing with our race team and our design and R&D team.
At 30 knots, there is no erratic behavior: you can focus on controlling the foil without constantly steering the wing.

Buying guide
For whom?
This wing is made for experienced wingers who seek precise, powerful control that consistently delivers more speed.
The Pulse Race Aramid CZ is technical, high-performing, and demanding; therefore, we do not recommend it for beginners or those still in the learning phase. A solid background in winging is required, which can be enhanced by extensive windsurfing race or slalom experience, as the handling is quite similar.
For what?
Speed is the name of the game, whether in a straight line or on a long up-and-down course.
This is not a wing for jumping, surfing, or doing maneuvers or casual tacks. It’s the first real Race wing!
Quelle taille ?
Avec cette Pulse Race Aramid CZ, on a constamment de la puissance dans l’aile dès qu’on vole et qu’on crée du vent apparent, dont elle raffole et qu’elle va convertir en traction vers l’avant.
Pour un usage Slalom, prenez la même taille de wing que d’habitude pour garder de la dextérité et du contrôle au travers.
Pour un usage Race avec des remontées et des descentes proches du vent arrière, il est préférable de prendre une taille supérieure à une wing traditionnelle.
- Plus: a versatile, accessible wing designed for progression.
- Droid: a surf/freestyle wing with explosive power. It's also a top choice for lightwind conditions.
- Neutra: the smooth wing for surf, freefly, and endless carves.
- Pulse: the ultimate racing wing with incredible upwind ability and speed.
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.
As things move fast, our team requested that we create an even stiffer wing: the Aramid CZ technology is being launched this year with performance that is simply out of this world. More rigid, faster, and more powerful. This is for pro riders and highly skilled amateurs who are ready to be pushed to their limits.
Which quiver?
The Pulse Race Aramid CZ wing is a true race wing, ideally paired with a Racer board and the Cruzader or Cruzader Point for more versatility.
Naturally, it pairs best with a performance-oriented foil, featuring a mast of at least 100cm and race-specific foils that provide sufficient glide:
- Ypra Race foil
- Ypra Slalom foil
- And why not a Veloce H in the smaller sizes.
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?
The Pulse Race Aramid CZ requires the use of a harness for performance reasons. It’s a wing that is designed to be ridden hooked in.
A range of harness lines specifically designed for winging are offered in several sizes.
PRICE RANGE:
Equipments
The Pulse Race Aramid CZ comes with 4 windows to ensure maximum comfort in difficult conditions, but also to accelerate safely during competition races. This was also a specific request from our team to go even faster in IWSA races.
No more loss of speed when lifting the wing to check what’s happening downwind: full speed mode.
The new 3+6 batten system enhances stability and provides the crucial sense of rigidity at high speeds. We are getting very close to what is used in windsurfing, and it's no coincidence because the increasing speeds require this rigidity. The central batten, a GONG innovation, ensures the profile stays perfectly in place. The two large battens add stiffness, and the six mini battens reduce vibrations to a minimum.
This configuration is the result of nearly a year of testing with our race team and our design and R&D team.
Harness lines that can be fixed directly onto the boom and are fully compatible.
Our harness lines have been specially designed for this boom, allowing you to attach your GONG harness line and ride for hours without getting tired.
Inflation
The Pulse Race Aramid CZ enables separate inflation of the strut and leading edge. This allows you to fine-tune the pressure perfectly. Be careful, however, not to leave the strut fully inflated: this could damage the inner separation. You should therefore plan to inflate and deflate in 4 stages, and in this order:
- Inflate the leading edge to the pressure specified in the size guide.
- Inflate center strut to size guide pressure
- Deflate center strut
- Deflate leading edge
Note that maximum pressure depends on diameter: so you can inflate a 4m2 more than a 7m2 to get the same rigidity.
A carbon boom
Team Series and Pro Team Series wings are available only with a boom, as the benefits of this GONG innovation are manifold:
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 really controllable, ensuring maximum comfort.
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 shoulder bag 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!

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.
What improvements does the Pulse DP offer over the previous Pulse model?
The Pulse Aramid CZ 2025 benefits from a new, more compact outline, ultra-rigid Code Zero sailcloth, and a full batten system for better stability. These developments offer greater control, enhanced high-speed performance, and increased durability.
What are the advantages of a double-skin wing compared to a double-layer wing?
A double-skin wing, like the Pulse Race Aramid CZ, provides better airflow management, superior stability, and precise control at high speeds. Unlike a double-layer wing, it is designed to maximize aerodynamic performance while remaining lightweight.
Is water able to drain from the double skin?
Yes, water can flow in and out of the double skin thanks to a carefully designed system. This prevents the wing from being affected if it comes into contact with water, as long as you avoid submerging the wing in waves. In any case, it will easily drain water thanks to the evacuation systems.
Can I use the boom with other wings from the GONG range?
Yes, the V2 boom works with other wings in the GONG range, but make sure to check the specifications to ensure full compatibility with the specific model.
What’s the best way to fold and store the wing to prevent damage?
Deflate the wing completely, then roll it up carefully starting from the tips and moving towards the center. Store it in the provided bag. Be sure to avoid creating deep folds, particularly on the stitched areas.
Is it possible to store the wing deflated with the boom still mounted?
Yes, the premium bag included with the Pulse is designed to store the wing without having to remove the boom or the battens. This makes transportation easier and protects the equipment.
What are the dimensions of the bag?
The bag measures 200 cm x 25 cm (and 170 cm x 25 cm from 3,5sqm to 5sqm), offering ample space to store the wing along with the boom and battens attached.
Is the wing easy to repair in case of a tear or leak?
Yes, all wings from GONG are built to be repairable. The Code Zero fabric and TPU bladders are compatible with standard repair kits. For professional repairs, our sail workshop in France is at your service. All the required repair materials are available in our online shop.
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.
