Ordered the 3m gong plus after the first video was posted, it looks very stable and nice profile for the 350€ shipped price!!
More videos of the plus now available on insta and yt
The ears of the plus don’t look too good, but similar to the neutra and other “simple” single skins without advanced designs on the ears such as the element one or flow.
This new hybrid conception (?) may solve panels “loosening/flapping” with closed cells for tips only: Freefly – Element Kiteboarding GmbH
Agreed. This one looks good. The price is also very attractive.
Receiving the gong plus 3m next monday, Hopefully able to test it in mistral winds until wednseday.
Second session with the 3m2 plus, it is quickely overpowered in high winds, depower is not as big as I initially thought. Starting in DW will be easy, getting upwind will be another story for me based on my low experiance in winging.
I think it will enable to start a smaller foil than paddle, for a given skill and conditions.
3m2 overpowered: 20/25 knots or more ?
Fwiw, these are much harder than winging, but in the same style. Learning to wing first will be easier I think.
I have kited a lot and I paraglide, I have a better feeling with parawing 
This guy produces great parawing reviews.
Duotone is farther forward at this moment. Feels like more mature than others, nails most of the points.
On the parawing side, the Flysurfer POW range, is praised for its efficiency both in light and high winds.
Very promising concept by F-one called K-wing, and a first model called Plume

New kind of foil:
I’m thinking that with a parawing, it’s actually easier to use a remote in hand simultaneously. Here’s why:
F-one, not only offers a supported inflatable leading edge parawing called the Plume, they also offer a BRM-like called the Frigate :
At 1:09 there is something new that the competition should adopt.
I think the naish one has a similar bridle handle, for water restart and depower.

It’s weird isn’t it? I thought they would be keen to take a share of this.
I jumped in and went for the gong lowkite. I’m really enjoying it.
What size and what wind speeds are you using it in the most?
I’m using the 4m the most. 5m just feels too big IMO. The 3m is lovely. I need around 15 knots to get going on the 4m with a DW board and a big foil.
Would you sell 5m² and which one you have?
