F-ONE x Duotone = Light Wind Wing Magic

We love any wing from F-ONE or Duotone, so to see a new light wind wing from Duotone that's based on F-ONE's Compact Wing Concept (CWC) 3-strut design has us beyond stoked.

On June 28, 2023, F-ONE and Duotone announced an agreement granting Duotone the rights to use the CWC patent. Even the CEOs of F-ONE and Duotone seem to be hyped on the deal:

Raphael Salles, F-ONE: "After nearly 30 years of continuous innovation in the watersports industry, F-ONE has developed multiple high-value patents. We are pleased to share our CWC patent with a brand like Duotone through this agreement. This mutual recognition of intellectual property value clearly demonstrates that the two companies greatly respect each other's work and aim to foster a positive cycle of research and innovation."

Till Eberle, Duotone: "In 2019, Duotone pioneered the commercialization of wing foiling, using the brand's extensive knowledge from decades of kite and windsurfing R&D. Since then, Duotone has been at the forefront of wing foiling innovations. Our products and investments into the sport help to grow the sport and inspire riders. The CWC is an interesting concept to push winging in light wind conditions with bigger wing sizes, meaning riders can get even more time on the water."

It's awesome to see two top brands working together to create innovations that can only benefit us, the riders. The 2024 Duotone Ventis in both standard and D/LAB construction is the first product of this collaboration, and we can't wait to get our hands on it at the end of this July.
