Does anyone have experience of the gong pro wings? They are compatible with the surf fuselage and the medium wing has 74% of the volume compared to the standard M serif foil. Sounds like a very good choice if you got tired of the standard wing.
Looks like a similar size to the Slingshot Gamma 68 (68mm wide).
I will be embarking on a mission to see if I can ride my board with my 56mm wing soon. Should be pretty wild!
Gong messed up the %. If the new M Pro wing is 1.2L wr to 2.0 for the classic M,
that is a 40% loss (2.0 - 1.2)/2. Which means that the M Pro only kept 60% of the volume compared to the standard M serif foil. (1.2/2.0 = 0.6) This is a serious point to explain the new max speed and the rider new feelings… Speed has a cost: only tests will tell if the riding comfort (tolerance) offered by the new profile did not suffer too much because of the thinned down profile.
I was able to run a quick test run after work yesterday. Sun went down 17:50 so I could not run more that 20 minutes.
Overall the new wing feels very smooth in the water. I takes more speed to get foiling but that’s expected given the smaller size. I didn’t push it to hard, went up to 30kmh and its very smooth. It easier to ride than I thought it would be.
Hopefully I will be able to push it beyond the 33 kmh that I got with the standard medium wing.
Turning felt very smooth, my guess is that the arch is the reason for this. Both my other wings are very flat.
I used the kite stab for the test. Will change over to the surf stab to see how that handles as well.
It will be interesting to see if you get much more top speed. It might be the drive unit and prop that have reached their max at 33kph. You drive should be able to handle a higher pitched prop though.
