DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A Premium Evolution for Surf and Freefly
The Duotone Float SLS 2026 represents the next step in the Duotone wingfoil line-up. An evolution of the original Float, this SLS (Strong Light Superior) version delivers a major boost in stiffness, lightness, and control. Dedicated to wave riding and freefly, it's for riders looking for an incredibly smooth, stable, and precise wing that drifts neutrally in the waves and reacts instantly to every command.
Direct Power, Exceptional Drift
With its PentaTX Leading Edge and strut, the Float SLS combines direct power delivery with exceptional stability. This material is five times stronger and has 50% less stretch than standard Dacron, increasing stiffness while reducing drag. The result is perfect drift: the wing floats longer in the surf and remains stable through gusts and shifts in rider pressure.
An Optimised Profile for Precision
The revised profile has less depth in the centre and more volume towards the tips. This design improves lift, depower, and handling. The low sweep angle and a slightly forward pull create a balanced feel that's ideal for surf, freefly, or high-wind conditions. This setup delivers an improved top-end range, smooth glide, and more efficient upwind performance.
Light, Strong, and Durable
The Float SLS features a minimalist, windowless design, reducing the overall weight while maintaining impressive strength. The MOD3 S canopy provides uniform tension and superior resistance to stretching, guaranteeing a stable, long-lasting profile. The reinforced PentaTX frame ensures durability, even in strong winds and during demanding sessions.

FAQ, DUOTONE FLOAT SLS 2026
The Float SLS uses a PentaTX frame instead of standard Dacron. This material is stiffer, lighter, and has less stretch, which translates to more direct steering, better profile retention in gusts, and reduced weight. The MOD3 S canopy is identical on both versions.
For intermediate to expert riders focused on surf and freefly. If you're looking for maximum drift, a wing that stays in the air effortlessly in the waves without stalling, and precise steering with the Fusion Boom, the Float SLS is for you.
That depends on your weight and your usual wind conditions. As a general guide, a 3.5-4.0 m² is right for a 75 kg rider in 15-30 knots. For downwind or light wind, go one size up. For stronger conditions, go one size down.
No, the Float SLS is sold with the wing and its bag only. The Fusion Boom and Fusion Handles are sold separately. Don't hesitate to contact us for advice on the right setup.
The Float SLS is optimized for surf and freefly, with better drift, more float, and a neutral feel in waves. The Unit SLS is more of an allrounder for freeride, freestyle and surf. If you mainly ride in waves or downwind, the Float SLS is the best choice.
