- On paper, these foils may appear similar, but how do they differ in reality?

I've had the incredible opportunity to test a variety of hydrofoils from Gong. I started with a comparison between the Axis 1310 and its counterpart, the Sirus 136. Surprisingly, despite its smaller volume and surface area, the Sirus seems to provide more lift. This is attributed to the thicker profile and the longer distance between the leading edge of the front wing and the trailing edge of the stab. The Sirus, paired with the Sirus 45 stab, offers stability and a lower cadence, although this slightly compromises agility. The XL, with its wide speed range, appears to be the perfect choice for beginners looking to progress quickly and intermediates transitioning from larger mid-aspect foils looking for more speed and efficiency.
Stay tuned for more videos where I'll compare additional foils, provide reviews, and share insights on gear selection!

In this series, I’m documenting my journey into pump foiling with the goal of helping beginners like me return to the dock, pump longer and further in any condition, and start from anywhere, so that in a near future we’ll unlock together the full potential of this discipline and explore the beauty of the world on our tiny body-powered boards.

SICK! Very cool that Gong reached out to you and sent you some foils to test! Your journey is getting more interesting!
Cool hope that you get to test Axis 1401 with Advanced + sillyshort fuselage and skinny 35 or 40. :-) only seen expert dockstarters to test them. Whould love to see how it is for you! :-)
Subscribed. I’ve been waiting for someone to review the full Gong pumping foil range, and compare to Axis range, which has more of a known baseline.
So interesting to be following your testing journey with all the Gong foils.
Can’t wait to see the next video!!!
It’s your thoughts on everything that really get me interested!
Could you please write in the next video which foils, masts and stabs you received? The Sirus in some different sizes I could see and then you said something about the Fluid (“H” I presume)?
It’s going to be so interesting to hear your thoughts on the performance of the bigger sizes of the foils! What it does for the pumping, turning etc.
Great work!!!
I really appreciate your words. Thank you!
I'm so grateful for having this possibility, I'm learning a lot and I'll make sure to make more videos to share my thoughts.
I'm testing:
Wings:
- SIRUS L / XL / XXL / 3XL / 5XL
- CURVE H XXL / 3XL
- FLUID H XXL / 3XL
- VELOCE H XXL
Stabs:
- SIRUS 45
- FLUID H 42 / 45 / 47 / 49
- VELOCE H 44 / 47
Masts:
- Carbon HM 70 / 72 / 77 / 79
I still have to work on my technique with big foils to make the most out of them...
So nice you got this from Gong you deserve it for all the content and great info that you provide. I can't believe that you can turn these wings with such a small board! I ride a 90cm board and can barely turn a 1320mm span foil
Thank you!
Do you think that the board size affects the turning?
Sick, i wish i could test some foils too! Rock on!
Thanks... So helpful for beginners!!!!!
very good mic gael ! congrat to get recognised from gong gong foil has alway been front footed naturaly from my test.
Thanks for the honesty
Nice score, but I wouldn't really compare the 1310 to the Sirius, you should compare the 1401 to it instead.
Use the same front wing for one year now. Use the Veloce-H Stab 40 or 44 for the Sirus XL! It is much faster and much more maneuverable. It all comes down with stab you use.
Thank you for the tip! Today I tried the Sirus L and XL with the Veloce 44 and the Fluid 42 and, as you said, the foil was faster and more agile! Have you tried smaller stabs than the ones you mentioned?
@@gaeldaniele I also have the Veloce-H 36 Stab 140cm2! Very fast but very intensiv to pump! If you would have the same pump feeling as with your Axis setup you must try the Freestyle Stab 39 or 41. They are shorter. Then the fuselage must be nearly similar to the AXIS fuselage.
@@user-qm7ed4ej5e True! That's what I was thinking too. Thank you for your help!
Have you tried the Sirus L 45cm?
I was wondering how that feels compared to the Veloce 44.
It's a shame they don't have stabilizers that you can mix and match and adjust on different fuselage's.
Nice review, thanks.
I’m currently with the Sirius XL front wing, and fluid h 42 stab (used fluid h 45 before). Would be interested in your comparison with the Sirus stab as well as the véloce h 44
hey Gael, cool content you are giving us. Any idea how would the sirus XL compare with the Axis 1401? According to Yvon it is the best weapon...
Good so far, i pump my XL with M Stab, it is shorter...
Just go my first paddel up :)
Thank you very much for your awesome videos. Can you estimate how long you could pump the sirus XL max.?
Thank you to you!
Why estimate it when I can try it? 😄 My technique is still far from good with these new models, but I'll try and let you know
@@gaeldanieleAwesome😊
Man it rides nose up. Too much front foot pressure, or so it looks
Yes, I'm definitely riding nose up in the video. I was riding the Sirus with the same technique as the 1310, but it actually requires a different weight distribution: less back foot pressure and shoulders rotated forward.
@@gaeldanieleRiding nose up or nose down is not relative to the rider technique, it's just a setting issue. The setup you used in this video would have require a mast wedge.
