Duotone Glide 3.0 D/LAB Front Wing

Duotone Glide 3.0 D/LAB Front Wing 2027

Sizes: 600 / 700 / 825 / 950 / 1100 cm²

A premium high-aspect front wing engineered for exceptional glide, effortless pumping, early lift, and dynamic maneuverability. The Glide 3.0 D/LAB combines an aspect ratio of up to 12.4 with a stall-friendly Crest-inspired profile, optimized chord distribution, moustache-style curvature, and upturned wingtips to create an exceptionally efficient foil for winging, freefly, prone, parawing, and downwind riding.

What Duotone has to say:

Freeride / Freefly / Downwind / Parawing

Maximum glide. Minimum effort.

The Glide 3.0 D/LAB evolves Duotone's successful Glide platform into a new level of efficiency, control, and playfulness. With an increased aspect ratio of around 12, the latest generation delivers significantly improved pumping and glide performance while maintaining a surprisingly agile and dynamic riding feel.

Inspired by the highly acclaimed Crest D/LAB, the new stall-friendly profile combines effortless low-end lift with a huge usable speed range. This makes it easier to remain on foil when energy levels are low while improving pumping efficiency and reducing rider fatigue during long sessions.

The Glide 3.0 D/LAB is designed to perform across multiple disciplines, from winging and prone foiling to parawing and downwind riding. Its efficient profile and high-aspect geometry allow riders to maintain speed and glide through sections where other foils would require more energy.

A new moustache-style curvature with upturned wingtips creates a much looser and more playful roll response than the previous Glide 2.0. The design improves turning performance while allowing the tips to breach in a controlled manner and recover smoothly without sacrificing stability.

Optimized chord distribution further improves efficiency and energy retention, making the Glide 3.0 D/LAB an extremely versatile high-performance foil for pumping, carving, linking bumps, and extended glide runs.

Glide farther. Pump longer. Ride smaller.

Who is this for?

The Glide 3.0 D/LAB is designed for riders who want maximum efficiency and glide without giving up the playful handling and maneuverability that make a foil enjoyable to ride.

For wing foilers, the high-aspect geometry delivers excellent lift-to-drag efficiency, allowing riders to generate strong glide and pumping performance while potentially downsizing from their previous Glide 2.0 setup.

For prone foilers, the stall-friendly profile makes it easier to maintain flight through weak sections while the optimized chord distribution helps preserve speed and momentum during pumping and carving.

For downwind and parawing riders, the Glide 3.0 D/LAB excels in low-energy conditions. The combination of early lift, efficient pumping, and extended glide allows riders to connect bumps and maintain flight with less physical effort.

Its moustache-style curvature also makes the wing surprisingly agile for its high aspect ratio. The loose roll response provides a more dynamic feel through turns while the upturned tips offer controlled breaching and recovery.

The Glide 3.0 D/LAB is best suited to experienced riders looking for premium foil performance, maximum efficiency, and a lightweight, highly responsive construction.

Key Features:

• Maximum Glide Efficiency - The increased aspect ratio of approximately 12 improves lift-to-drag efficiency, allowing riders to maintain speed longer, extend glide phases, and potentially downsize compared with the Glide 2.0.
• Crest-Inspired Profile - The refined stall-friendly profile delivers excellent low-end lift, easier pumping, reduced fatigue, and a broad usable speed range.
• Optimized High Aspect Design - The high-aspect platform combines efficient pumping and extended glide with a surprisingly agile and dynamic riding feel.
• Moustache Curvature with Upturned Tips - The distinctive curvature produces a loose and playful roll response while the upturned tips improve breaching control and allow smooth recovery.
• Confident Breaching - The raised wingtips are designed to breach in a controlled manner and reconnect smoothly without disrupting flow or stability.
• Playful Turning - The new curvature improves maneuverability compared with the previous generation, giving the Glide 3.0 D/LAB a more dynamic feel through turns and carves.
• Optimized Chord Taper - Carefully distributed chord improves pumping efficiency and helps extend glide performance.
• Pitch-Stable Performance - The 3BS+ connection with an optional fourth screw increases pitch stability and control across the entire speed range.

Tech Specs:

• Premium HM/IM Carbon Prepreg Construction - A premium combination of High Modulus and Intermediate Modulus Carbon fibers maximizes stiffness, efficiency, and responsiveness while keeping the D/LAB construction exceptionally performance focused.
• High-Aspect Geometry - Aspect ratios range from 12.4 on the 600 to 11.4 on the 1100, providing outstanding lift-to-drag efficiency across the size range.
• Stall-Friendly Profile - The Crest-inspired profile delivers smooth low-speed lift and a wide usable speed range.
• Moustache-Style Curvature - The curved outline provides a loose roll response and enhances maneuverability.
• Upturned Wingtips - Raised tips help control breaches and provide smooth recovery when the wingtip exits and re-enters the water.
• Optimized Chord Distribution - The chord taper is designed to improve efficiency, pumping performance, and energy retention.
• 3BS+ Connection System - The connection system provides increased pitch stability and control throughout the speed range.
• Optional Fourth Screw - The 3BS+ system is compatible with an additional M6x32 TX30 screw for increased pitch stability.
• D/LAB Construction - Duotone's premium D/LAB construction is designed around maximum performance using advanced carbon materials and construction methods.
