Looked like it might be starting to blow so went for a look. Arrived to a few peeps floating but couldn't resist and thought I'd join them to test out the new Gong Neutra Team Edition 5.5m wing. Caught a puff and managed about 4 reaches and then it totally died. Sat floating off Clover in hopes it would come back and after about 10 minutes it was enough to go again. Took a bit to get used to the boom (have hard handles on the Duotone Unit wings), but it's very minimal, small diameter and feels good. The wing flags out and just sits there, no wobbles, very light for it's size, and quite stiff and powerful for a "wave" flag out oriented wing. Of course everything about it will feel stiff and new compared to my current well used Units. Overall from the limited time and minimal wind I think it's going to be really nice and sure I'll get used to it within a few sessions. Looking forward for more sessions with it!
