Full tests
Luc B., freerider in Brittany
I had the chance to test the Duotone Unit D/LAB 2026 on the Brittany coast, and what an experience it was! From the very first moments, the lightness of this wing is striking: it handles with surprising ease, making every maneuver fluid and natural. The sometimes-fickle Breton wind was no obstacle thanks to its impressive stability. Even in gusts, the wing remained docile and controllable.
What particularly impressed me was the on/off control: it allows for very intuitive power management, ideal for freestyle. In full flight, the transition between power and depower is instantaneous. The construction seems robust, and the MOD3 S fabric inspires confidence in its durability.
For freeride, the Unit D/LAB offers a pure and efficient glide. The new, more compact shape improves handling during transitions and allows for precise riding, even in waves. The interchangeable handles are well-designed and add a real plus for those who like to customize their experience. After several sessions, it perfectly meets the expectations of demanding riders.

Sophie T., Mediterranean wave enthusiast
Testing the Duotone Unit D/LAB 2026 in the Mediterranean was a revelation. From the moment I picked it up, I was impressed by its lightness and stiffness, which allowed me to exploit every wave with formidable precision. The wing reacts to the slightest movement, making it easier to pick up speed and adapt to changing conditions.
What sets it apart is its stability: even when the wind drops, it stays in the air without excessive effort, a real asset for extended sessions. The MOD3 S fabric ensures optimal tension, reduces vibrations, and increases riding comfort.
In terms of handling, the compact outline is a real plus: it weaves easily through waves, with excellent responsiveness. The choice between boom and interchangeable handles allows for a personalized experience. After several sessions, there are no signs of wear: a safe investment for progressing in wingfoil with high-end equipment.
