Duotone Front Wing Aero Carve 2.0 SLS

FAQ

Who is the Duotone Aero Carve 2.0 SLS Front Wing suitable for?

The Aero Carve 2.0 SLS is aimed at advanced to experienced riders looking for a versatile mid-aspect wing. It covers a wide range of applications, from wingfoiling in real waves to high-speed runs on a kite foil, and is also at home in prone foiling.

What distinguishes the Carve 2.0 SLS from the Free or Glide?

Compared to the Free or Glide, the Carve 2.0 loses some glide performance, but in return offers a higher top speed and significantly more maneuverability on the wave. The medium aspect ratio also makes it more robust during hard landings.

In what sizes is the Aero Carve 2.0 SLS available?

The front wing is available in several sizes to cover different applications and rider weights. The selection ranges from small sizes for high wind and aggressive turns to large sizes for light wind, pumping, and heavier riders.

Can you also kite foil with the Carve 2.0 SLS?

Yes, thanks to the medium aspect ratio, the Carve 2.0 SLS is very well suited for kite foiling. Riders can lean more aggressively on the mast without the wing tips protruding from the water, which benefits speed and control above all else.

Is the Carve 2.0 SLS also suitable for freestyle and jumps?

The Carve 2.0 SLS is the preferred choice of the Duotone Freestyle Team on the GWA World Tour. It delivers more speed and explosive pop for high jumps, and the medium aspect ratio noticeably cushions hard landings.

What conditions and spots are suitable for the Carve 2.0 SLS?

The wing feels particularly comfortable in moderate chop, in the surf, and on small waves. For maximum freeride fun on flat water or beginners who still want to safely fly through turns and jibe, Duotone has better-suited alternatives.

What should you pay attention to regarding the mast position?

Since the Carve 2.0 SLS hardly tends to rise at higher speeds, a negative shim on the stabilizer is usually not necessary. The optimal mast and fuselage position varies depending on size and setup and should be tested individually.

For whom is the switch to the Carve 2.0 SLS worth it?

If you are an experienced winger looking for a playful, fast wing that works in many conditions and loves waves just as much as aggressive turns, then the Carve 2.0 SLS is the right choice. However, those who prioritize maximum glide performance and easy handling on flat water are better advised with the Glide or Free.
