Due to our diligent search for new materials and innovations in construction methods, exciting new materials that are both lighter and stronger have opened up a universe of completely new design options. Duotone is proud to be the first brand offering a technology segmentation for our wing, board and foil models. at the pinnacle of all products stands the D/LAB series!

The cutting-edge hollow shell composite construction sets a new industry standard in weight reduction and stiffness.

Slimmer & faster profile with high modulus carbon layup for highest level of flex response.

No compromise. No sacrifice. D/LAB is Duotone’s version of a moonshot program. Bean-counters, deadlines and market analysis have no place in the Duotone Laboratory.

The only purpose of D/LAB is to make the best Wing Foiling gear using the best materials and construction methods on this planet, no holds barred.

We handpick the latest materials, spend years fine-tuning construction methods for those materials, and we test. And test. And test. Only when we're 100% confident that a piece of gear is the absolute best do we consider it worthy of the D/LAB label.

If your only consideration is performance at any cost. If you want the absolute latest and unconditional greatest gear. If you want all the benefits of tomorrow's technology, tested and perfected and available today, then D/LAB is for you.

Tensile strength is a measurement of the force required to pull something such as rope, wire, or a structural beam to the point where it breaks.

The Aluula fabric in combination with new construction features reduces the weight of the wing by up to 15% compared to standard constructions and depending on the size. This is a considerable saving especially when the wind is light, but there’s other benefits making our D/LAB wings so impressive.

The construction has not only been fine-tuned to reduce weight wherever possible, but also the material itself and certain tweaks of the design give an unmatched flex response and lift you’ve never felt in any traditional wing.

The reduced weight, direct response and improved handling make the Unit D/LAB an exciting wing to fly, and you will be on the water earlier, boosting higher and flying for longer than anyone else on your spot.

D/LAB sets a new standard in the wing industry, so get a Unit D/LAB or Ventis D/LAB now and never miss a session again; make every hour on the water count and enjoy the very pinnacle of wing technology!

Our new D/LAB boards are built in a hollow Shell Composite Construction (SCC), a highly advanced monocoque Carbon Sandwich technology, featuring a composite stringer supported hollow core, making the boards incredibly light and responsive.

The structure consists of a special high spec Biax Carbon fibre sandwich layup, forming a rigid closed shell providing excellent stiffness & strength to weight ratio.

• Hollow architecture with lightweight internal composite stringer system – reduces overall board weight by around 30%

• Monocoque design. The entire structure forms a load bearing shell

• High spec Carbon Sandwich shell construction with high core to skin thickness increases flexural rigidity

• High temperature vacuum process ensures optimal fiber-to-resin content and bond strength

• Foil tracks are reinforced with the internal composite stringer system resulting in a high impact resistance bond to the bottom and deck shell structure.

• All inserts form a sealed and integrated unit with the Carbon composite shell

Crest D/LAB

• Instant and intuitive turning response

• Great speed range from smaller to larger surf

• Easy to connect waves through efficient pumping and good glide with forgiving stall speed
