DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A light and intuitive wing for freefly
The Duotone Float 2026 is designed for riders seeking a total sense of freedom on the water. Its neutral and stable handling provides a weightless feel and natural drift, making it ideal for freefly or riding waves. It delivers smooth power, natural drift, and remarkable lightness, perfect for precise handling in all conditions.
An optimized profile for control
Its reworked profile ensures instant power and exemplary stability. The low-sweep leading edge maintains forward pull, offering precise and intuitive steering. Deeper profile sections at the quarter-span improve lift and depower, making the Float both smooth and responsive during transitions.
Durable construction and featherlight weight
Built from 160g Dacron, the Float combines stiffness, lightness, and durability. Its MOD3 S canopy resists stretching and maintains perfect profile tension. The windowless design further reduces weight, resulting in a wing that stays stable and lively even in gusty wind.
Fusion Boom: Precision and Comfort
Compatible with the Fusion Boom, the Float gains precision and comfort. This ergonomic boom system provides direct steering and better power distribution. The grip feels more natural, which is ideal for linking maneuvers or surfing smoothly.

FAQ, DUOTONE FLOAT 2026
The Float features a 160g Dacron frame, while the Float SLS is built with PentaTX, a stiffer and lighter material. Both models share the same MOD3 S canopy. This gives the SLS more direct steering and a lower overall weight.

Your ideal size depends on your weight and the typical wind conditions where you ride. As a general rule, a 3.5-4.0 m² wing is a good fit for a 75 kg rider in 15-30 knots. Always check the wind range chart to find the perfect size for your needs.
No, the Float comes with the wing and its bag only. The Fusion Boom and Fusion Handles are sold separately.
