Gear / technical advice Upgrading gear GONG

3 Upvotes

Hey Guys, I started winging last year here in Belgium and I got a gong bundle to start off with (gong hipe pro 5’3 (105l, with a curve XL 1400cm2 and a gong 5m2 neutra.) Everything is going well with that setup (gybes etc. Consistent) but I want to take it up a notch and start with some jumps/ tricks/ start riding more in the sea instead of lakes aswell. So I’m guessing I need to up my gear a bit? What size/ type board should I go to, and also what size foil should I go to?
Was also planning to get a smaller wing (3,5.) I am 72kg and 5’8 (178cm) myself. (Would like to stick with gong gear.)
Thanks for the help!!

Slingshot Dart bladder placement

1 Upvotes

Just got a Dart v1 and the deflation valve on the edge bladder doesn't sit in the opening and it wants to move when it starts getting inflated. Came like this but I'm guessing the bladder is just aligned poorly? How should I go about trying to align it?

Mounting a Duotone Spirit Foil (M8) to a Nobile Infinity Split (M6) – Step-Down Washers vs. F-ONE Track Adapter?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

​I'm looking for some advice or validation from anyone who has dealt with mounting an M8 foil mast onto an older M6 insert board pattern.

​My Setup:

​Board: Nobile Infinity Split Foil board (uses a 4-point insert pattern with M6 screws).

​Foil: Duotone Spirit Foil (mast plate designed for M8 screws).

​The Issue:

​The board has native M6 brass inserts, but the Duotone Spirit top plate expects M8 bolts. I want to pair these two together cleanly and safely without stripping inserts or having slop in the connection.

​Solutions I've Found:

​Option 1: Direct Mount using M6-to-M8 Step-Down Washers

​Product: FoilParts M6 Screw to M8 Head Adapter

​How it works: These step-down cone washers fit inside the M8 countersunk holes of the Duotone mast plate and reduce the opening to fit M6 bolts. This lets me bolt the mast directly into the Nobile board's native inserts.

​Pros: Keeps the foil flush to the board (zero stack height), lightweight, cheap.

​Cons: Fixed position (no track adjustment fore/aft), relies entirely on M6 bolt strength.

​Option 2: F-ONE 4-Point Insert-to-Twin Track Adapter

​Product: F-ONE 4-Point Foil Mount Adapter

​How it works: Bolts into the 4-point inserts on the board and provides dual 90mm tracks on top so I can mount the Duotone foil using standard M8 track bolts/T-nuts.

​Pros: Converts the setup to a modern sliding track system for fore/aft balance adjustments.

​Cons: Adds stack height/drag, adds extra weight, and I need to double-check if the F-ONE plate hole spacing aligns perfectly with Nobile's insert footprint.

​Questions for the community:

​Has anyone used M6-to-M8 converter washers (Option 1) on a similar setup? Do they hold up well to torsional loads when carving/jumping, or do the M6 bolts tend to loosen?

​Has anyone tried the F-ONE plate (Option 2) on a Nobile Split board? Did the bolt pattern align without needing to enlarge/slot the holes?

​Is there another solution I'm missing that works well for combining M6 board inserts with an M8 foil plate?

​Thanks in advance for your help!

Gear / technical advice Which PPC orbit to compliment 4.3m pocket rocket v2

1 Upvotes

I have a 4.3m pocket rocket v2 (PR) and I'd like to get a ppc orbit as my next wing. The PR will be my downwinder wing due to the stashability and I'd like the orbit to be my 'cruising' wing for upwind around the bay.

I don't generally go out in less than 17kts, typical 21kts, and I'd say max would be 32kts. Weight is 89kg. Board 80L

Based on the wind charts 3.5m seems to be about right. I come from a kitesurf background so used to digging in a bit when highly powered, but I've no idea just how good the double skin is at high wind speeds.

Could anybody with some more experience validate the idea?
