Duotone’s successful glide platform, evolved
The Glide 3.0 D/LAB represents an evolution of Duotone’s successful foil platform, increasing the aspect ratio to approximately 12 for improved pump and glide performance. It enables riders to downsize foil choice while maintaining agile handling. Featuring a stall-friendly profile inspired by the Crest D/LAB, it combines low-end lift with an expansive usable speed range.
The foil introduces moustache-style curvature with upturned wingtips for enhanced manoeuvrability and controlled tip breaching, suiting winging, prone, parawing and downwind disciplines. The refined profile reduces rider fatigue through improved pumping efficiency and extended glide phases, delivering smooth, predictable power across varying conditions.
Key Features
- Confident Breaching — Upturned wing tips allow controlled tip breaches and smooth recoveries without disrupting flow or stability
- Maximum Glide Efficiency — Increased aspect ratio (~12) improves lift-to-drag efficiency
- New Profile — Crest-inspired design with excellent lift and easier pumping
- Pitch-Stable Performance — 3BS+ connection with fourth screw increases stability
- Playful Turning — Moustache curvature creates looser roll response and improved manoeuvrability
