DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Efficiency and Speed
The Hyperglide D/LAB 2025 is engineered to cut down drag and maximize glide. On a downwind run, you'll immediately feel better water penetration and higher average speeds, thanks to a profile and aspect ratio optimized for pure efficiency.
Acceleration and Pumping
This front wing delivers explosive acceleration on fast bumps and powerful forward drive when pumping. This helps you power up again effortlessly between sections, making it easier to link your downwind runs.
Control in Weak Sections
Even in lulls or weaker sections, the Hyperglide D/LAB makes holding your speed effortless. You'll find it easier to keep your momentum and stay connected to the swell, resulting in smoother, more fluid runs.
D/LAB Construction and Ride Feel
The D/LAB construction uses a blend of HM and IM carbon fibers for an optimized balance of stiffness and flex. The result is a precise ride feel and the durability needed for high-performance downwind foiling.
Size Selection and Adaptation
Two sizes are available: the 680 cm² is for faster bumps and lighter riders, while the 880 cm² is ideal for heavier riders or smaller swell. Choose your size based on your build and the spots you typically ride.
Pairing Stabilizers
Duotone recommends the H145 stab for the 680 cm² and the H165 for the 880 cm² to optimize the foil's downwind performance. These pairings significantly improve pumping power and speed retention.
