Front wing Duotone Crest D/LAB

Versatile performance for surf and wing foiling The Crest D/LAB is designed as Duotone’s most versatile front wing for dynamic wave riding. Its character combines the fast response needed for carving with smooth handling and the efficiency required to maintain flight between wave sections. It performs across a wide variety of conditions, from mellow peeling waves to steeper sections, while maintaining predictable control through a broad speed range. Moustache-Style Outline – fast and fluid turns The distinctive moustache-style outline with upturned tips gives the Crest D/LAB an agile yet stable character. This geometry allows quick changes of direction and smooth transitions from turn to turn. The upturned tips also help maintain control when a wing tip briefly exits the water, supporting a smooth re-entry without abruptly interrupting the riding line. Control during tip breaches, foil slides, and small airs The wing shape is designed to maintain flow during more dynamic maneuvers. Tip breaches, foil slides, and small airs can be performed without an abrupt loss of stability or control. This allows riders to push their carving and wave maneuvers further while retaining predictable foil behavior. Forgiving lift at lower speeds The Crest D/LAB maintains lift at lower speeds, helping reduce the risk of the foil suddenly dropping during slower sections of the ride. This forgiving behavior supports smooth riding through weaker parts of a wave and makes it easier to transition between sections without constantly rebuilding speed. Efficient pumping and speed retention Low drag and efficient geometry allow the Crest D/LAB to retain momentum with minimal speed loss. The wing can carry through longer distances, making it easier to connect waves and bumps. Combined with efficient pumping, this helps riders stay on foil for longer and move between sections without relying entirely on wave power. Low-drag D/LAB construction The D/LAB construction minimizes visible hardware, creating a cleaner wing surface. This improves hydrodynamic efficiency and reduces drag through the water. The result is smooth handling and efficient speed retention across a broad range of conditions. Compatibility and setup options The Crest D/LAB is compatible with all D/LAB tails, S and PX stabilizers, and the new Monobloc Tails. This gives riders the freedom to tune the rear section of the foil to suit their preferred balance of control, maneuverability, and overall riding character. Four sizes from 675 to 1050 cm² The Crest D/LAB is available in 675, 800, 925, and 1050 cm². The size range allows riders to choose a front wing suited to different rider weights and applications across Prone Foiling, Wing Foiling, and surf foiling.
