The very high aspect front wing for overboosted glide and speed.

Introduction

The HDW Veloce is born with downwinders.

Its aspect ratio of over 13 gives it a unique slenderness for ultimate performance.

This wing is a specialized version of the Veloce H that retains its core qualities but with a significantly increased aspect ratio: meaning an insane glide!!!

You can go really fast, with an ultra maneuverable wing capable of riding endlessly, tip breached out, without any turbulence. Wingspan is no longer an issue.

Its profile is very lifty, which allows you to use smaller sizes. Depending on your level, 200 to 500cm2 less will give you the same performance. It’s just crazy.

This is the absolute wing for downwinders. Top speed, lift, easy take off, maneuverability.

Its purpose is to fly, glide and accelerate with no energy loss to fly on downwinders with no limits, while remaining maneuverable to choose the best lines and maneuver over bumps with confidence.

It has a high top speed to be able to ride the fastest swells. The Veloce HDW has both a comfortable lift at lower speed and a high top speed.

It has a very maneuverable high aspect front wing, guaranteeing a fluid and unrestrained riding behavior.

The plane is combined with the 77HM V3 carbon mast: a masterpiece of technological know-how. Glide, stiffness, lightness and responsiveness: it's the ideal mast for foilers in search of excellence.

The sleek profile minimizes drag for easier takeoffs, rapid accelerations, and higher top speeds. The 77 cm length is dedicated to high-performance use in surf foil or SUP foil, but also in downwind and pumping, and potentially in wing.

With 10 years of mass-producing foils, GONG has been the world’s leading driver of this practice, delivering nearly 100,000 foils. This incredibly intense tenth year of R&D has enabled us to offer an even thinner mast in the V3 foil range. The lower sections of our HM masts now start from 15mm in thickness, while also offering options by 19mm.

You can thus choose the mast perfectly suited to your build, your front wing, and your program:

If you prioritize glide and speed, the HM15 will become the centerpiece of your quiver.
If you are sturdier or focused on pumping/light wind, and you seek unmatched rigidity for maximum precision, the HM19 is made for you!

Front Wing

The Veloce HDW has an extreme aspect ratio of 13.3 to boost its glide and deliver the widest range of lift of all our foils. The wing has a very nice lift in the low end and an incredible glide that offer great comfort in all situations.

Its straight outline brings longitudinal stability by moving the lift center forward, away from the stab’s lift center. The front to rear span has been artificially increased, which allows to reduce the stab size, thanks to a more important leverage on the lower.

Stab

The Veloce H has an aspect ratio of 9.6 to ensure the best possible hydrodynamic performance. It has a very high lift/drag ratio to provide maximum stability and support while generating minimum drag.

The outline of the Veloce H is sleek, with tips slightly set back to move the lift center of the stab backwards and increase the leverage of the stab over the whole lower. This makes it possible to undersize the stab’s surface, thus improving drag and comfort at high speeds.

Mast

The mast section is progressive, thinner at the bottom to reduce drag in flight, and thicker at the top to maximize mast stiffness.

Evolution

Each front wing has evolved to further excel in their program. The wing presents improved performance on all fronts, without compromise.

Overall, the new H range has gained enormously in glide.

Foils take off much earlier. On average you can go for 200 cm2 less surface area than with the previous generation for equal lift. The stabs are also much smaller.

This gain in glide, and the resulting reduction in surface areas, therefore makes it possible to radically increase the top speed and the average speed: by downsizing you generate less drag, and more speed.

The new profile, constant across the entire wingspan, makes it very forgiving in near stall situations and breaching. The foil holds very far at low speed. It’s stunning!

Forgiveness for breaching is unprecedented. You can fly close to the surface stress free: the foil remains super healthy to the point of not even feeling the breaches.

This consistency of the profile combined with an optimized composite layup gives even more rigidity to the foil, which allows for a steering that’s much more precise. The whole is really more rigid and more resistant to torsion.

A more efficient foil shape

One of the key elements in the evolution of this range is the complete redesign of our foils to increase their structural and hydrodynamic qualities. The V3 fuselage is:

faster

more rigid

more resistant

lighter

The new round shape allows a 12% gain in glide and the thicker section approaching the stab increases the strength and rigidity of the foil.

Hours of calculations on extremely powerful computers have allowed us to optimize the smallest detail to maximize performance. The fillets of all our connections have been carefully studied and adjusted to minimize hydrodynamic disturbances and increase the rigidity and resistance of the assembly.

SuperLock self-tightening system

The SuperLock self-tightening front wing connection has been designed to guarantee perfect tightening even after hours long sessions.

The more pressure you put into the front wing, the tighter it fits into the fuselage.

The pressure angle makes it very easy to disassemble the front wing, even after long sessions. This fitting only requires two screws under the FW, which makes changing the front wing easier and faster.

This tightening principle, already validated for several years on our V2 stabs, is now available in an optimized version on the front wings.

A real plus for daily use!

Front Wing Carbon HM Technology

High Module Carbon offers unparalleled rigidity, representing the pinnacle of performance in our most advanced wings and masts, which face the most demanding structural constraints.

By combining High Module with Intermediate Module, we offer the best performance at the best price.

The products have no flex, the fibers are oriented along multiple axes to lock in bending and torsion, ensuring maximum responsiveness.

Thanks to pre-impregnated fibers, we can guarantee optimal resin usage, providing perfect cohesion at the lightest possible weight.

Each layer of carbon is carefully hand-assembled around a high-density hydrophobic foam core, in a steel mold. A central stiffener is integrated to increase rigidity without compromising on lightness.

The mold is then subjected to high pressure and heated to 150°C to solidify the carbon. The foam core, seeking to expand under the heat, ensures even compression between the carbon layers, ensuring a strong and durable structure.

Durability and repairability are at the heart of our development philosophy. Our foils are tested and proven by dozens of team riders, hundreds of employees, and thousands of customers worldwide. Even in case of damage, our products can be repaired multiple times, ensuring exceptional longevity.

Buying guide

For whom?

This foil has been specially designed for downwinder addicts. In wing foiling, this is a foil that requires a certain experience to reach its full potential, but it is not an elitist foil because it is still fairly easy to take off.

For what?

The bigger sizes lift at low speeds for easy and fast take offs in downwinders, surf foiling or SUP foiling, qualities that also make them excellent light wind wings. The smaller sizes are dedicated to fast downwinders, perfect in wing foiling but more technical to take off in surf foil or SUP foil.

Which size Front Wing?

The aspect ratio of the Veloce HDW gives it little lift at low speed, but a high acceleration capacity, and therefore lift for experienced foilers ;-)

For wing foiling, all sizes can be used. The larger sizes are perfect to maximize freefly in light conditions (light wind and small waves), whereas the smaller sizes allow you to glide endlessly in medium to heavy conditions.

Some generalities on the choice of front wing sizes:

The preferred size will depend on your foiling discipline, your level, your weight, the conditions of your spot but also your board and your wing.

When pumping, you want as much surface as possible to be able to get going without the help of a wave or wind. By improving your technique and gaining more speed, you can reduce the surface area you need.

In surf/SUP foiling, the perfect surface area would be small enough to turn with ease but large enough to take off and pump comfortably.

In wing foiling, all sizes work. The heavier the rider and/or the lighter the wind, the larger the size. Conversely, riders who are lighter and comfortable with takeoff can look for smaller sizes.

When kite foiling, you want to avoid wingspans of more than 80 cm because the counter-heel is significant and the tips will easily breach the surface. Favor lower aspect ratio front wings to start because they provide a lot of lift for a limited wingspan.

If in doubt about which size to choose, contact our customer service.

Which stab?

We recommend pairing a Veloce H stab with your Veloce H front wing, as these two components are designed for the same program and optimized to work in perfect harmony.

General information on the choice of stab sizes:

The preferred size will depend on your foiling discipline, your level, your weight, the conditions of your spot but also your front wing.

A larger stab will make take-off easier because the foil will generate a significant torque which will tend to give it a significant angle of attack. This also implies more front foot pressure.

A smaller stab will be more technical on takeoff but will boost speed and maneuverability. We also lose some front foot pressure, which means having to move the foil forward in the boxes to regain this stability.

Always adjust the size of the stab to the size of the front wing to obtain a balanced flight and functioning harmony between these two components.

If in doubt about which size to choose, contact our customer service.

What thickness?

You have the choice between 2 thicknesses.

The thicker the mast, the stiffer it is and the greater control it provides, particularly with larger front wings.

The thinner the mast, the faster it is, increasing top speed and acceleration, especially with smaller wings.

Here are our recommended mast thicknesses to ensure perfect stiffness of the whole setup:

15mm thickness is recommended for front wings up to 140cm span
19mm thickness is recommended for front wings up to 210cm wingspan

Aluminum or titanium fuselage?

We strongly recommend using a titanium fuselage in the following cases:

IIt is mandatory for your safety if you plan to navigate beyond the 300m zone or if you sail more than 300m from shelter (serious bodily injury risk in case of unexpected breakage).
If you jump (risk of material loss).
If you use front wings with a wingspan of more than 110cm (risk of material loss). If you don't meet any of the above conditions, the aluminium V3 fuselage will suit you just fine.
