Duotone presents its wing and foil range for 2026. We have rummaged through the extensive range and summarised the innovations.

Duotone is expanding its wing and foil programme for the 2026 season with new constructions and materials. The product range includes wings in three construction levels, boards in four technologies and foils for different areas of use. The range is aimed at beginners to pros and covers disciplines from wave to freeride to race. According to the manufacturer, new materials such as PentaTX in the Leading Edge and Strut of the SLS wings promise 15 per cent weight savings with five times greater tear resistance. The Duotone Academy app will be expanded to include around 60 new tutorial videos and will then offer a total of 116 wing foiling clips.

Wings: Unit, Float and Ventis

The wing programme is divided into three construction stages. The E/LAB wings with Aluula Gold reduce the weight by up to 15 per cent. The SLS technology combines PentaTX material with Aluula Gold L1 panels for direct response behaviour. Original wings utilise proven 160 gram Dacron for durability. All constructions use MOD3 S canopy material weighing 69 grams. The Fusion system allows you to switch between boom and handles.

The Unit-models form the centrepiece of the freeride, freestyle and wave range. Duotone promises that all versions offer improved balance and more direct power development. The E/LAB unit offers maximum performance from 3.5 to 6.5 square metres. The SLS unit covers 2.0 to 6.5 square metres. The Unit SLS Concept Blue uses bio-bladders and at least 50 per cent recycled material. The Float-Wings focus on wave riding and freefly performance. The Float SLS reduces weight by reducing the diameter of the leading edge. Sizes from 2.0 to 5.5 square metres cover wind ranges from 8 to 44 knots. The Original Float uses proven 160 gram Dacron for the same size range. The Duotone Ventis FS is designed for light wind conditions. The new Fusion handle and boom system allows easy flagging, while the refined profile design optimises the airflow for higher performance, the manufacturer promises. The Ventis FS E/LAB uses Aluula for a good power-to-weight ratio. Both versions are available in 7.0 and 8.0 square metres for wind ranges from 10 to 27 knots.

Stash Parawing in second generation

The Stash Parawing receives several improvements for 2026. The new aspect ratio significantly increases the upwind angle. The leading edge construction is designed to keep the front side at the best angle of attack at all times. The new ergonomic carbon handle offers greater comfort and optimum depower characteristics. Sizes from 2.2 to 5.6 square metres cover wind ranges from 10 to over 45 knots.

Wingboards: Sky Style, Skybrid, Sky Free and Sky Air

The board programme comprises four construction levels. The new Hollow Shell Composite Construction for E/LAB boards reduces weight by around 30 per cent thanks to monocoque carbon sandwich technology. SLS technology utilises Biax Carbon PVC Sandwich Construction for optimum balance between weight and strength. Original boards use Vacuum Sandwich Technology with bamboo patches. Fusion technology for inflatable boards utilises welded rails for increased strength.

The Sky Style SLS has received significant performance enhancements for 2026, according to Duotone. The wider nose offers better stability for smoother take-offs. The thinner, retracted deck lowers the rider's centre of gravity. Sizes from 4'2" with 25 litres to 5'4" with 95 litres cover different rider weights. The Skybrid-models combine freeride, freefly and parawing performance. The Skybrid E/LAB with Hollow Shell Composite Construction weighs over 30 per cent less than the SLS Pendan. The Skybrid SLS covers 5'2" with 45 litres to 6'7" with 130 litres. The Skybrid Air as an inflatable offers 6'0" with 95 litres and 6'4" with 110 litres. The Sky Free is designed to offer versatility for freeriding. The improved glide efficiency maximises foiling time, promises Duotone. The sizes 5'8" with 105 litres and 5'11" with 120 litres use Vacuum Epoxy with Bamboo Sandwich. The Sky Air inflatable covers 6'2" to 7'4" with up to 205 litres. The Sky Start DST offers maximum stability for beginners.

The Slim for downwinders and the Paradox for parawings

The downwinder Slim E/LAB weighs almost 30 per cent less than SLS models. The narrow outline enables immediate acceleration. The sizes 7'8" with 95 litres and 8'4" with 110 litres are aimed at dedicated downwind riders. The Slim SLS uses Carbon Custom Sandwich Construction in three sizes. The Downwinder Air inflatable combines ease of travelling with performance.

The new Paradox SLS focusses on parawing inserts with the earliest take-off. The stretched outline and step tail reduce the bottom area for efficient pumping. The low rocker enables the earliest take-off. Sizes from 5'1" with 45 litres to 6'7" with 105 litres cover different rider weights.

The Crush SLS for prone foiling gets revised dimensions for reduced swing weight. The sizes 4'2" with 27 litres and 4'5" with 35 litres are aimed at advanced riders. The Strider SLS for pump ropes utilises new Biax Carbon Construction for up to 300 grams weight reduction. The 3'4" size with 14 litres combines compactness with sufficient volume. The Strider Wake SLS in 3'10" optimises wake and tow foiling.

Foil programme with new technologies

The 2026 Foil range brings several innovations. The Crest E/LAB delivers instant response and intuitive turning. The Moustache-style curvature combines agility with control. Sizes from 550 to 1200 square centimetres with aspect ratios from 8.8 to 9.3 cover various disciplines.

With the Monobloc Tail PX E/LAB comes a new tail design. The one-piece construction minimises drag for low resistance. Optimised fuselage lengths for each size increase precision and agility. The 37, 40 and 43 centimetre versions offer different overall fuselage lengths for different front wings.

The Carve 3.0 E/LAB and SLS are designed to offer improved pump and glide. Sizes from 500 to 1300 square centimetres cover various surfing conditions. The Glide 2.0 offers low drag with a wide speed range. The sizes from 620 to 1350 square centimetres use new profiles with an optimised ratio of lift and drag, according to the manufacturer. The Hyperglide E/LAB for Downwind Race relies on even less drag.

The Amp 2.0 SLS marks the next generation of pump foiling performance. The new profile combines lower drag with better projection. Sizes of 1550, 1800 and 2100 square centimetres with aspect ratios from 9.7 to 13.2 cover beginners to professionals.

Lift and Aero Lift for beginners and easy foiling, Blitz for freerace

The Free 2.0 offers a balance between lift, control and intuitive riding, according to the manufacturer. The lift and Aero Lift SLS -models are designed to allow easy access to wingfoiling. The profile with plenty of lift enables passive take-offs. The generous size of 2400 square centimetres balances stability and performance

The Lightning E/LAB-Foil, on the other hand, is designed to offer freerace performance with fast designs for maximum control at high speeds. The 3BS+ connection system with fourth M6 screw prevents flex at extreme speeds, according to Duotone.

Mast and fuselage programme

The Mast programme comprises several technologies. The Mast Slim 2.0 E/LAB is a high-end full monobloc design with extremely low drag. The sizes 76, 84 and 94 centimetres use an optimised mix of intermediate and high-modulus fibres. The Aero Mid QM SLS mast comes with two parts for quick, tool-free foil assembly. The aluminium AL 3BS mast is said to offer the best compatibility and comes in sizes from 40 to 90 centimetres.

Accessories and accessories

The accessories programme includes the new Lazepump as a compact, powerful pump. Inflate up to 8 wings, 10 kites or 5 inflatable boards with one charge. Precise pressure control up to 1.4 bar corresponding to 20 PSI.
