Wings have been around for a while, however, with the evolution of surf foiling they finally offer a totally new way to enjoy the ocean.
The original Duotone Foil Wing was in development for a couple of years, and the design team tested countless prototypes in order to create the perfect shape.
Version two – THE ECHO increased performance, stability & packed down smaller.
Version three – THE SLICK . Taking all the lessons from previous models, the changes are:
-
The all-new Slick is designed around the Mini Boom concept, this offers some unique advantages over other wings on the market.
-
The new Mini Boom:
-
This system gives you all the control of a boom, along with all the benefits of a centre strut.
-
You get improved control over the profile and luffing stability, plus a much more integrated connection to the wing itself through the Mini Boom.
-
Mini boom – One size fits all the wings.
-
Mini boom – choose between aluminium or carbon booms.
-
-
Dihedral angles on wings are critical,the team spent a long time working out the best angle to offer the maximum stability when riding using the front handle.
-
The canopy tension has been tuned to offer the maximum power with an absolute minimum of flutter.
-
The window shape has also been refined to provide unrivalled visibility without making it larger than it needs to be.
-
Reduced wing-span. The overall wing-span is reduced to achieve an even easier handling of the Slick.
-
Better stability and upwind ability compared to previous models, the stability as well as the upwind ability are improved.
-
Best of both worlds – intuitive hand positioning and neutral drift plus depower.
-
Due to the intuitive hand positioning, the handling of the wing is super easy. It offers a very neutral drift and plenty of depower.
The Slick is the versatile all-rounder in the range, being the most innovative and most advanced design out there.
