Gong Lowkite Parawing Range: Full Brand Overview (2026)

Gong is one of the most interesting brands in parawingfoiling right now. A French company with deep roots in surf and foiling, they've expanded the Lowkite from a single parawing into a full four-model range covering everything from beginner-friendly single-skin wings to performance double-skin designs. With pricing that starts well below most competitors, Gong has built a lineup that's hard to ignore.

This page covers who Gong are, what each Lowkite model offers, and which one belongs on your shortlist.

Who Are Gong?

Gong was founded by Patrice Guénolé in France. The company designs, tests, and develops its products in-house, with a focus on advanced materials and direct-to-consumer pricing. By cutting out the retail middleman, Gong consistently delivers gear at price points that sit noticeably below competitors of similar quality.

Before parawingfoiling, Gong had already built a strong following in surf, SUP, wing foiling, and kiteboarding. Their experience with hydrofoil equipment is particularly relevant here. They were producing foil boards and setups before most brands had entered the foiling space, which means their understanding of how a rider interacts with a foil is genuinely hard-won.

When parawingfoiling started gaining traction, Gong were well positioned to enter. The Lowkite range is the result of that experience applied to a new format: parawings designed by a foiling brand, not a paraglider manufacturer pivoting into water sports.

The Gong Lowkite Range

Gong now offers four distinct Lowkite models, split across two construction types. The Plus V2 and Neutra V2 are single-skin designs aimed at different riding styles. The Droid and Pulse are double-skin (closed-cell) wings that extend the range into more powerful, performance-oriented territory.

Single-Skin Models (Available Now)

Model	Sizes	Price (EUR)	Best For
Plus V2	2m, 3m, 4m, 5m	€309–€419	Beginners, progression, stability
Neutra V2	2m, 3m, 4m, 5m	€379–€489	Downwind, freestyle, agility

Double-Skin Models (Listed, Not Yet Available)

Model	Sizes	Price (EUR)	Best For
Droid	3m, 4m, 5m, 7m	€499–€729	Surf-freestyle, wave riding
Pulse	TBC	From €569	Freerace, speed, upwind

The Droid and Pulse are listed on Gong's site but are not yet available to purchase at the time of writing. When they launch, they'll give Gong one of the broadest parawing lineups on the market, covering both single-skin and double-skin construction across different riding styles.

Plus V2: The Beginner's Choice

The Plus V2 is designed for stability and easy progression. It has a pronounced arc and short bridle that aid consistent launches and predictable behaviour in the air. If you're new to parawingfoiling or coming from another foiling discipline, this is the model to start with. The V2 update brought a redesigned bridle system, reinforced leading edge, and nylon stiffeners for improved canopy shape.

Neutra V2: The Performance Single-Skin

The Neutra V2 is built for riders who want more agility. It uses a moderate arc with slim tips and shorter bridle lines, which translates to quicker handling and more responsive turning. The deep canopy profile generates efficient power, making it well suited to downwind runs and freestyle-oriented riding. Same V2 upgrades as the Plus.

Droid: Double-Skin for Surf and Freestyle

The Droid is Gong's first closed-cell (double-skin) parawing. Double-skin construction gives the canopy more rigidity and better shape retention, which translates to stronger low-end power and more composed behaviour in gusty conditions. The Droid is aimed at surf-freestyle and wave riding, with a pronounced arc and powerful profile. Notably, the Droid includes a 7m size, making it an option for lighter wind conditions.

Pulse: Double-Skin for Freerace

The Pulse is a double-skin wing aimed at freerace and speed-oriented riding, prioritising glide, upwind angle, and top-end performance. Full size and pricing details are expected when the wing becomes available to purchase.

Pros and Cons at a Glance

Pros

Most affordable parawing range on the market (Plus V2 from €309)
Four models covering different riding styles and construction types
Both single-skin and double-skin options within one brand
Designed from a foiling background, not retrofitted from paragliding
Available direct from Gong with global shipping
V2 upgrades show active development and iteration

Cons

Double-skin models (Droid, Pulse) are not yet available to purchase
Single-skin sizes top out at 5m (no large light-wind single-skin option)

Smaller community knowledge base compared to BRM

How Does Gong Compare?

BRM is the market leader in parawingfoiling and the natural comparison point. They've been in this space longer, have more models in their range, and benefit from the largest community of riders sharing setup advice and feedback.

Where Gong competes most effectively is on price. The Plus V2 starts at €309, which is significantly cheaper than any BRM model. That makes Gong the easiest first purchase to justify if you're testing the waters. With the Droid and Pulse on the horizon, Gong will also be one of the few brands offering both single-skin and double-skin parawings.

Ozone, coming from a paragliding background, offers a different angle again with the Pocket Rocket. If you're weighing up all three, our full review includes a more detailed comparison.

Where to Buy the Gong Lowkite

Gong sell direct through their own store at gong-galaxy.com, which ships worldwide. This is typically the most reliable source for the full size range and current stock. Their direct-to-consumer model is a core part of how they keep prices competitive.

For buyers in the EU, shipping from France is fast and straightforward with no customs complications. Riders in the UK and US can also order direct, though import duties and shipping times will vary. At the time of writing, there are no confirmed third-party dealers stocking the Lowkite in the UK or US, so ordering direct from Gong is the standard route for most buyers outside mainland Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Gong Lowkite good for beginners?

Yes. The Plus V2 is specifically designed for beginners and progression riders. Its stable arc and progressive power delivery make it one of the most forgiving parawings on the market, and at €309 for the 2m it's also one of the most affordable.

What's the difference between the Plus and Neutra?

The Plus V2 prioritises stability and easy launching, making it better for beginners and general freeriding. The Neutra V2 is more agile with quicker turning response, aimed at riders who want to push into downwind runs and freestyle. Both are single-skin with the same V2 construction upgrades.

What size Gong Lowkite should I get?

For the single-skin models (Plus V2, Neutra V2), the 4m or 5m covers most riders in average conditions. If your local spot is consistently windy (20+ knots), a 3m or 4m may be more appropriate. For a detailed breakdown by rider weight, see our size guide.

Is Gong a reliable brand?

Gong has been producing surf and foiling equipment for years and has an established reputation in the water sports community. They design and develop in France and sell direct, which keeps their supply chain straightforward. Community feedback on the Lowkite range is consistently positive.

How does the Gong Lowkite compare to BRM?

BRM has deeper roots in parawingfoiling and a larger rider community. Gong competes on price and range breadth. With single-skin and double-skin models starting from €309, the Lowkite range offers the most accessible entry into parawingfoiling. BRM edges ahead on community depth and ultra-lightweight construction.

When will the Droid and Pulse be available?

Both the Droid (double-skin, surf-freestyle) and Pulse (double-skin, freerace) are listed on Gong's website but are not yet available to purchase. We'll update this page when they become available.

The Bottom Line

Gong have evolved the Lowkite from a single parawing into the most comprehensive and affordable range on the market. The Plus V2 and Neutra V2 give riders two distinct single-skin options at prices that undercut every competitor. When the Droid and Pulse double-skin models launch, Gong will offer something few other brands can match: a complete lineup spanning construction types, riding styles, and budgets, all from a brand with genuine foiling expertise.

For riders entering the sport, the Plus V2 is one of the easiest first purchases to justify. For more experienced riders watching the double-skin models, the Droid and Pulse could shift how Gong is positioned in the market. Either way, the Lowkite range belongs on your shortlist.
