I think they fit the same mast and fuselage as all of their other wings. Alu or carbon.

There is at least 2 different sizes on the fuselage since some of the mast has this text attached "Not compatible with our Allvator Freeride Kite wings."

Only the old kite wings need a different fuselage, all other wings use the same "freesurf fuselage", as far as I know...

Needs different fuselage, stabs are different..
correct me when I'm wrong..

I'll correct myself (with help of Gong, thx GLC); only with the new stabs, the Pro stabs, you 'll need another fuselage, the Pro fuselage.
The H wings fits all.

really surprised the fluid, which I thought would be the most surfy feel has the flattest profile with upturned tips. Anyone know why?

from


Edit: read the website (lol)

"This camber of the Fluid-H is very particular: flat in the center and raised at the tips. The concept is to play with tips that exit the water. This ultra healthy wing can afford to flirt with the surface to accentuate its maneuverability. Nothing beats putting 1/3 of the wing out to make it turn shorter 😉 This camber is also a great shape for beach starts, as the tips won’t rub the bottom as much as flat shapes. Big advantage also to limit the wear of the tips in wing foiling when you have to exit the water in a rush."

We have no idea if this is just pre sales PR, or true - for the respective new HA wings, and outline is just one dimension.

I've ordered a Fluid and Veloce High Aspect for wingfoil - so time will tell.

Of course expecting them to fit on both alu and carbon fuses, almost a given :thumb:

For kitefoil I see absolutely no use of these wings, as I want lively low aspect wings for that, but for wingfoil they work great (other brands at least), especially if you are not into fast carving that is, but prefer glide :rollgrin:

Others might have different preferences, and like HA wings for kitefoil.

I have chosen to believe in these Gong High Aspect wings thus as said bought two - looking forward :D

I have both yes there is an old kite fuselage a bit shorter in the front where the wing inserts. The rear is the same on both so all stab fit all fuselages. The kite fuselage is pretty much a thing of the past. I actually modified a surf wing to fit the kite fuselage so it can be done.

Question...
I have started foiling with the Rise M and Fast stab.
I am still a beginner and now in the process of learning to turn and trying jibes and tacks..

I was thinking of getting a Curve front wing in MT or L size but i am not sure...
I want to go faster than the Rise M but i don't want to lose much low end.

Key point: i am 120kg and very advanced/expert level with a twintip.. but beginner with the foil.
Also from Rise to Curve i will lose much stability? It will be more difficult to learn turning properly?

There are not many riders at this weight so i cannot find many info about the sizing for the foil wings.
So any help is welcomed :thumb:
