The high-performance front wing to shred with lots of speed and commitment.
The Fluid H is a high-performance wing to radicalize your sessions.
The thing we love about the Fluid H is that it performs on all fronts: it takes off early, it goes fast, it has incredible rail to rail, high top speed, powerful pop and magical glide when surfing.
It is the perfect front wing for those who want to step things up, on all fronts.
In surfing, it's the FW capable of cutting turns short, going for snappy top turns, but also drawing wider lines without losing lift. This extreme versatility is a treat. You always have the impression of having room left for more commitment, even though it remains super simple.
And it's just as great in a straight line or when pumping. you have an ultra healthy foil under your feet, lifty but fast, which just needs to be pushed and challenged. Gaining confidence and serenity is the key to radicality for those who want to make strong progress.
Boost your carves, your moves and your speed with this foil capable of everything.
The Fluid H has an aspect ratio of 8.4 which translates into great versatility. This foil has huge potential whatever foiling disciplines you’re into, thanks to very pronounced maneuverability, advanced glide and a high maximum speed to score in all conditions.
Its elliptical outline gives it a very playful character by centering its lift, which has the effect of freeing its tips while maximizing hydrodynamic performance across its entire wingspan. Glide and lift are maximized.
The advanced tips project the center of lift of the wing forward to increase the leverage of the stab. This way we can reduce the stab surface and gain acceleration and speed.
The Fluid H's profile has been designed to maximize its potential from the mid to high range of speeds. This profile is forgiving to stalling, which makes it lifty and efficient at the lower speeds.
This profile converts your pumping efforts in a fast and unbridled glide because the slightest pumping stroke pulls you forward.
The Fluid H's dihedral is moderate to find the best compromise between reactivity, stability and glide.
The tips are thus easy to engage into your carve, they do not breach and control of the wing is total even in the most radical turning angles.
The raised tips accentuate the maneuverability of the wing by making it easier to pivot on all axes.
Very reassuring in snaps or crazy drifts, they give this front wing the necessary forgiveness for a radical drive.
This design also reduces wear on the tips when riding close to the beach ;-)
The settings of the foil on your board is identical to the previous version and all the GONG foils. This balance of forces is precisely calculated to guarantee you a constant feeling, especially when you move from one FW to another in a session.
Technical sheet
Buying guide
The Fluid H is the perfect foil for riders looking for an ultra maneuverable, versatile and fast front wing to excel in various disciplines.
It’s a do-it-all high-performance foil. Its speed, maneuverability and glide make it the perfect wave riding machine while its impressive pop makes it very efficient in jumps and freestyle.
Less low end oriented than the Curve H, it nevertheless remains forgiving at low speed and accessible for takeoff. Compared to our previous Fluid H range, you can reduce the surface area of your front wing with no fear of a challenging take off or higher stall speed.
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.
We recommend pairing a Fluid H stab with your Fluid 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.
Each of these high-performance foils have their strong points on which development has been particularly focused:
The Curve H is a combo of responsiveness and lift.
It’s the queen for carving and low end conditions (which does not mean it can’t handle speed, on the contrary!). It is also the most comfortable foil for pumping, which allows you to make numerous connections when surf foiling without burning your thighs.
The Fluid H is a combo of responsiveness and speed.
Perfect for turning very short, going fast, glide and enjoying a very dynamic drive. Add to that a very powerful pop and you understand why this foil will go wherever you want, in the water or in the air!
The Veloce H is a combo of glide and versatility.
It is a freefly and downwind machine. It’s the foil to glide and connect bumps endlessly with incomparable fluidity. Accelerations on the wave are stunning and it has a very low stall speed which facilitates flight in all circumstances.
The Veloce HDW: 100% glide.
To be even more focused on infinite glide, the Veloce HDW. The queen in downwinders.
