Gong Lowkite Parawing Review: Full Range Guide for 2026

If you’ve been researching parawings, the Gong Lowkite will have come up quickly. What started as a single wing has evolved into a four-model range spanning single-skin and double-skin construction, with pricing that starts lower than any competitor. Gong have built a strong reputation for delivering genuine performance at prices that make the sport more accessible.

This guide covers everything you need to know about the Gong Lowkite range. We’ve pulled together the specs, community feedback, and an honest comparison with the competition, so you can decide whether it’s the right wing for your setup.

About Gong

Gong is a French brand with deep roots in surf and foiling. They were producing foil boards and hydrofoil equipment before most brands had even heard of foilboarding, which means their understanding of how a rider interacts with a foil is genuinely hard-won. When parawing foiling started gaining traction, Gong were well placed to enter the market, and the Lowkite range is the result of that experience applied to a new format.

They’re not a paraglider manufacturer pivoting into water sports. They’re a foiling brand who designed parawings for foilers. That distinction matters.

The Gong Lowkite Range

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

Plus V2 (Single-Skin) — Available Now

Sizes: 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m Price: €309–€419 Best for: Beginners, progression, general freeriding

The Plus V2 is Gong’s beginner-friendly model. It has a pronounced arc and short bridle that aid stability and consistent launches. If you’re new to parawing foiling, this is the one to start with. The V2 update brought a redesigned bridle system, reinforced leading edge, and nylon stiffeners for improved canopy shape.

Neutra V2 (Single-Skin) — Available Now

Sizes: 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m Price: €379–€489 Best for: Downwind, freestyle, riders wanting more agility

The Neutra V2 is the performance single-skin. It uses a moderate arc with slim tips and shorter bridle lines for 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 construction upgrades as the Plus.

Droid (Double-Skin) — Listed, Not Yet Available

Sizes: 3m, 4m, 5m, 7m Price: €499–€729 Best for: Surf-freestyle, wave riding

The Droid is Gong’s first closed-cell parawing. Double-skin construction gives the canopy more rigidity and better shape retention, translating to stronger low-end power and more composed behaviour in gusty conditions. Notably, the Droid includes a 7m size for lighter wind conditions.

Pulse (Double-Skin) — Listed, Not Yet Available

Sizes: TBC Price: From €569 Best for: Freerace, speed, upwind performance

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

Construction: Single-skin models use ripstop canopy with V2 reinforced leading edge and nylon stiffeners. Double-skin models use closed-cell ram-air construction. All models are compatible with standard spreader bar harnesses.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Most affordable parawing range on the market. Plus V2 starts at €309
Four models covering different riding styles and both construction types
V2 upgrades show active development and iteration
Gong’s foiling background shows in how the wings are designed to work with a harness and foil board
Direct-to-consumer pricing through Gong’s own store with global shipping

Cons:

Double-skin models (Droid, Pulse) are listed but not yet available to purchase
Single-skin sizes top out at 5m, so no large light-wind option in single-skin
Gong’s customer support is primarily French-speaking, which can be a minor frustration for UK riders dealing with warranty queries
Less community feedback available than BRM, which has been in the parawing foiling market longer

Community Feedback

Based on community discussion across parawing foiling Facebook groups and forums, the Lowkite earns consistently positive feedback, particularly from riders who came to parawing foiling from kiteboarding or wingfoiling and were surprised by how much easier a well-designed parawing makes getting up on foil.

The most common praise centres on the power delivery of the single-skin models: riders describe the Plus as smooth and progressive rather than sudden, which is exactly what you want when you’re still dialling in your foiling technique. The Neutra attracts riders who want more responsive handling without jumping to a premium brand.

The main criticism across community channels remains the limited peer network compared to BRM. BRM has been synonymous with parawing foiling for longer, so there’s more accumulated community knowledge on forums and in groups. With the Lowkite, you may find yourself figuring things out more independently. That said, Gong’s community presence has grown noticeably as the range has expanded.

How Does It Compare to BRM?

BRM is the market leader in parawing foiling and the natural comparison for any competing wing.

The honest answer is that BRM’s heritage in the sport gives them an edge in terms of community depth and accumulated refinement across multiple model iterations. If community support and buying into the most established parawing foiling ecosystem matters to you, BRM edges ahead.

Where Gong competes effectively is on price and range breadth. The Plus V2 starts at €309, which is significantly cheaper than any BRM model. And with four models spanning single-skin and double-skin construction, Gong is building a lineup that covers more ground than most competitors.

Choose Gong if: You want the most affordable entry into parawing foiling, or you want options across different riding styles and construction types without paying premium prices.

Choose BRM if: You want the most community-backed option, the lightest possible wing, and you’re confident you’ll be in this sport for the long haul.

Gong Lowkite Sizing Guide (Single-Skin Models)

Rider Weight	Recommended Size	Notes
Under 65kg	3m or 4m	3m for stronger wind, 4m for moderate
65-80kg	4m or 5m	4m for strong wind, 5m for moderate
80-95kg	5m	The largest single-skin size
Over 95kg	5m (or wait for Droid 7m)	Droid 7m will extend the range for heavier riders

These are starting points for the Plus V2 and Neutra V2. Local wind conditions matter as much as rider weight. If your spot regularly sees 20+ knots, size down.

Where to Buy the Gong Lowkite

Gong sell direct through their own store at gong-galaxy.com, which is available globally. This is usually the most reliable source for the full size range and current stock.

There is no confirmed UK dealer stocking the Lowkite at the time of writing, so most UK buyers will be ordering direct from Gong. Shipping from France is typically fast and straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Gong Lowkite good for riders new to parawing foiling?

Yes, particularly the Plus V2. Its stable arc and progressive power delivery make it one of the most forgiving parawings available. At €309 for the 2m, it’s also one of the cheapest ways to get started. The 4m or 5m depending on your weight is a sensible first size.

What’s the difference between the Plus and Neutra?

The Plus V2 prioritises stability and easy launching — ideal for beginners. 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.

Is the Gong Lowkite a single-skin or double-skin parawing?

Both. The Plus V2 and Neutra V2 are single-skin. The Droid and Pulse are double-skin (closed-cell). Gong is one of the few brands offering both construction types in their parawing range.

How does the Gong Lowkite compare to the Ozone Pocket Rocket?

Both are well-regarded in the community. Ozone brings paragliding-grade aerodynamic R&D; Gong brings foiling-specific design knowledge and significantly lower pricing. The Ozone Pocket Rocket is a more expensive, premium single-skin wing. See our full parawing comparison guide for a side-by-side breakdown.

Can I use the Gong Lowkite with any spreader bar harness?

The Lowkite range is designed for standard spreader bar harnesses, so it’s compatible with the harness setups most parawing foilers already use or are looking at. If in doubt, check compatibility with your specific harness before purchasing.

The Verdict

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 become available, Gong will offer something few other brands can match: a complete lineup spanning construction types, riding styles, and budgets.

If you’re getting started in parawing foiling and you don’t want to spend BRM money on your first wing, the Plus V2 is where we’d point you. If you want more agility without paying premium prices, the Neutra V2 is a strong step up. And for riders watching the double-skin space, the Droid and Pulse are worth keeping an eye on.
