GONG | Kite Strutless Aramid

First session with the new kite today, and my initial impression is very positive. I weigh 60 kg and used the 5m with 19m lines. The conditions provided a great test: light wind close to the beach (dropping to 7–8 knots) and much stronger wind offshore, reaching 25–27 knots with gusts. In light wind, it performed impressively. Crossing the waves on the foil required a bit of kite work, but its ability to stay airborne was outstanding. Even around 13–15 knots, when I lacked power for an immediate waterstart, it held steady without stalling. Once riding, it felt stable and predictable. Even in 27-knot gusts, I never felt overpowered and still had plenty of top-end margin. Overall, it handles light-wind relaunch and stability brilliantly while offering a remarkably wide wind range. A solid first test—very satisfied so far.

Strutless 15

Grâce à cette aile, je navigue beaucoup plus, je la sors lorsque les prévisions annoncent 9/10 noeuds, rafales jusqu’à 18 noeuds en TT. Tolérante en plage haute, très bonne remontée au vent, bonne sustentation, c’est une super aile. Attention au redécollage dans le light ou lorsqu’il y a du courant car une poche d’eau peut se former.

Made for light wind conditions

A dream come true in constant light wind conditions. Easy relaunch even in light winds. Very stable in the air and easy to control but becomes uncomfortable quickly in gusty winds.
