Hi there,
im about to pull the trigger on the Gong veloce H or the veloce HDW. Malo Guenole and Bastien Escofet ride with them and they look amazing on them!!! And the prices are amazing as well!! what are you thoughts on Gong? give me reasons not to buy… any and experience with Gong foils?? and also, any comments on the veloce H vs veloce HDW?
thanks
I only pump foil and really like their pumping wing… their alloy mast is a bit more wobbly than the axis mast. Their hm Mast is as stiff as the axis one ( no scientific testing just comparing the two at the dock) .
Their new v3 system looks better than the v2 fuselage system, it’s a bit of a bummer for those on the v2 system. But you can buy cheaply a fuselage that fits all system (old and new) if you are buying new, that is no concern for you…
They did change their system 2 times in the last 3 years though….
Other brands make the appearance to be more future proof, but gong made sure everything is compatible with each other…
This German YouTuber seems to be enjoying the veloce hdw. Hope that helps!
Did you buy this foil?
The only negative thing I’ve had with their foil gear is the rough textured finish on their aluminum v2 mast. I think it contributes some to ventilation and effect top speeds. I filled, painted, and sanded it, problem solved.
The new v3 gear is very nice, but i still hit all the carbon with 800-1000 sand paper to get the finish how i like it. Great value gear.
