About this kite

Gong's Strutless removes everything removable: a zero-strut canopy of extreme lightness for foiling and drift-hungry light-wind sessions. The frame is Dacron DP175LL at the leading and trailing edge under a triple-ripstop canopy — the ultra-light Aramid airframe belongs to the separate Team-range Strutless Aramid. It flies earlier than conventional designs, breathes with gusts and packs tiny. Radical minimalism, democratically priced.
