DETAILED DESCRIPTION
All-Round Performance
The Unit SLS fits right between the Unit D/LAB and the Original, offering a sweet spot of power and maneuverability. On the water, you'll feel a lively yet easy-to-handle wing that excels in a variety of disciplines, from freeride and freestyle to wave riding.
Stability and Drift
The MOD3 S canopy delivers a steady pull and balanced power distribution. This gives you controlled drift and precise steering, a huge advantage in the waves or on downwinders when you're flagged out and surfing the swell.
Response and Control
The undyed PentaTX leading edge and center strut, combined with an Aluula center panel, create a super rigid frame. This translates to a crisp, direct response on the water, making for smooth transitions and instant power on demand.
Comfort and Handle Options
The ergonomic Fusion handles make adjustments easy and reduce fatigue during long sessions. For the most direct feel and control during technical tricks, you can also rig it with the optional boom and pistol grip.
Eco-Conscious Construction
Duotone has integrated a bio-based bladder that reduces the wing's carbon footprint by 29%, and uses plastic parts made with at least 50% recycled materials. The use of undyed fabrics also cuts down on chemical processing without compromising durability.
Who Is It For?
We recommend the Unit SLS for intermediate to advanced riders looking for one wing that can do it all, from full-on wave sessions and downwinders to freestyle. With a wide range of sizes, it's built to perform in all kinds of conditions.
