Duotone Front Wing Hyperglide D/LAB

FAQ

Who is the Duotone Hyperglide D/LAB 880 front wing suitable for?

The Hyperglide D/LAB 880 is designed for pure downwind foiling and downwind racing, and is aimed at ambitious foilers seeking maximum efficiency, high speed, and agility in faster bumps and open water.

What is the surface area of the front wing, and what does the aspect ratio mean?

The 880 version offers 880 cm² of surface area and has an aspect ratio of 14.2 to 14.4. This high aspect ratio ensures maximum glide efficiency and the highest top speeds in downwind conditions.

What materials and construction does the Hyperglide D/LAB feature?

The wing features a computer-simulated D/LAB layup and uses a targeted blend of high-modulus and intermediate-modulus carbon fibers. The result is an extremely stiff, lightweight wing with optimally tuned flex.

What are the winglets on the front wing good for?

The winglets minimize induced drag and tip vortices, reduce turbulence at the wingtips, and thus ensure more efficiency, stability, and control at high speeds.

Which stabilizer is the Hyperglide D/LAB paired with?

Duotone recommends pairing it with the new H stabilizer. Together, they improve pumping efficiency, allowing you to convert every wave into acceleration and maintain high average speeds.

How does the Hyperglide D/LAB start, and how does it perform in turns?

The wing offers strong forward projection and easy acceleration, allowing you to maintain speed well in the waves. At the same time, it remains agile and controlled in turns – ideal for technically demanding downwind lines.

Which riding conditions are best suited to the Hyperglide D/LAB 880?

The 880 is the larger of the two available sizes (680 and 880 cm²) and is particularly suitable for lighter winds and for heavier foilers, or for anyone seeking maximum glide performance in open-water downwind conditions.

What is included with the front wing?

The package includes the Duotone Hyperglide D/LAB front wing in the selected size. The mast, fuselage, and stabilizer are separate Duotone equipment and are not included.
