Hi Vincent, If u are not jumping then should be no problem with the new 94, which is indeed better at top speeds/far less ventilation issues.

Hi there, sure, works for everything, even a bigger AMP 2145, or for jumping/in the waves etc. Great tool for saving a few minutes or switching between between boards.

Hi there, our best foils for combining Kite and Wing are the Carve 2.0 range. Would suggest to look at the 1100 Carve then, just remember you will need a new 3BS fuselage here due to the different foil to fuselage mounting, if you want to combine it with a DTK carbon mast - if you have an Alu mast from DTK, then you will need to unfortunately update both mast and fuselage to either the older Fanatic or new Duotone systems, either Alu or Carbon will work - the front wing to fuselage has not changed there. Free free to come back with questions on your actual hardware (mast/fuselage). The Whizz is primarily for Prone and wave use for Winging, the Carve 1100 will be a better partner for both kiting and also for your Free 5'9".

I just bought 2 weeks ago the alu mast woth quickmount with the fuselage and free 2000 for winging. Is it not compatible with the carve 2.0? I hope so

not, that is compatible for sure, no problem, as you have the SUP/Wing fuselage. I only mentioned it as you said you have the older Spirit 1250, which is the kite fuselage system.

@@duotone.wingfoiling thanks. Last question. Is the 1250 free good for kiting? Comparing to my 1250 spirit surf? Maybe the free is bether for me for both, winging and kiting.

Hi there, I would actually go for the Carve rather, it has more speed/less drag than the 1250 Free, pretty sure it will suit you. For winging it has a lot of lift and power, but this could be too much for Kiting.

Yes you can also shim with our regative shims, -0.3 or -0.6deg, but it won't be quite as effective as going one size smaller on the stab.

Actually nothing like windsurfing . I did that for 40 years. I have had 6 1hr sessions on the wing and still have not had a successful flight. Problem is u need good wind and flat water to learn

indeed, such a fun move and much easier than it looks - key also to make sure to grab the wing and keep pumping the board at the end, not waiting too long/go downwind at the end of the move to keep speed, same as normal 360° or tacks, which is where most people make the mistake of exiting too far into the wind or at 90°.

@@duotone.wingfoiling Yeah, great instruction!

Hi Xavier, in the Bahamas in February, great location!

Hi Greg, hmm, the Glide will glide longer and have a better top end speed - better for winging - but for dock starting/Winging, the Whizz is actually the better option in terms of a lower stall speed, better acceleration and tighter turning. The Glide will feel more stable and pump longer, but turns are not as tight. So both will work, but for sure the Glide is not as playful at the Whizz, when comparing similar sizes. Obviously the Whizz 1450 is bigger than the Glide 1350, but from my own experience, I could not believe how tight that 1450 Whizz turns for such a large foil. So I think you can stick with the Whizz, sounds like the right one for you.

Hi there, without knowing wing sizes or wind strength, I would reccomend the new Glide 2.0 in size 900 or 1100, both will hit 22-23 knots, especially the 900 easily, but it may be a step too far from your current 1500HA in lighter winds.

even more reason to get a Quick mount...:-)

Hi there, good question - the Whizz has a slightly better acceleration and lower stall speed, which is great for proning and wave use in winging on slower, smaller waves. So you could say slightly more lift at least for starting. The Glide will start a touch later, but once up it has more glide and power, as well as a better top end speed, making it ideal for downwinding and winging. Not as agile as the Whizz. Both of these prefer to be ridden slightly further forward in the boxes vs previous Glide or Carve 2.0 foils.

Colours are indeed a very personal choice, right now the Pink/Magenta has a lot of fans, as does the Lime - if you want a more neutral look then the White SLS is also an option.

Hi there, to your question if there is a version with footstrap mounts, for now not, but something next spring will be added to the Inflatable line.

Hi there, have used both for quite some time, at first really liked the clearance of the 94 vs the older 82 - but now with the new 84, I think it hits the spot perfectly for turning/clearance and being as compact as possible - the 94 is great for winging at faster speeds, where the extra length helps - so in short, I think you will be fine with the 84.

Masts are measured from the top of the base plate all the way to the bottom surface of the 3BS fuselage adapter.

We test our foil parts in 4-5 location simultaneously - Maui, Mauritius, Munich/Garda, Kiel/Denmark - so a good mix of warm and cold water?

@@duotone.wingfoiling nice thanks guys 👍

indeed these foils will make you a better all-round person! :-) and your family will be happy as you are happy...hehe...seriously though, yes you can go down a size, just mount the Glide 2.0 about 1-2cm further forward in the boxes than the previous Glide models/or play around a bit with the position, to get the perfect amount of front foot pressure/lift. Look forward to hear how you like them!

the new Mod3S canopy material has a stronger and stiffer coating, so the leech flutter is less than previous models. But that does sound quite extreme ok tearing apart - most wings will loose some leech tension after normal use over a 1 yr period. However as the very young sport progresses, we are looking to improve durability but also keep the wings as light as possible, so it's always a delicate balance. 2024 and also 2025 models should be stronger in this area, with better reinforcements as well as the above mentioned canopy material improvement with Mod3 and Mod3S.

Yes we are working on a 47cm tail which we will bring with our Blitz "Freerace" front wing in Spring next year.

yes, also a good tip to get things nice and compact!

also when it s windy , in this video this guy could use the leash if he had a wrist leash, by putting it on the side he rolled first and under the wing the rest of the leash....

not much difference to be honest between packing the 2024 or 2025 - there are a couple of different ways to do it - from starting with the wing like Finn does here in the video, or turning it over and lifting it up on the handles and then rolling both ends together at once. Obviously there is no difference between 2024 vs 2025 for handles, for the boom the way Finn shows it here is best and the only way to roll it up to fit in the bag correctly.

Thanks Valentino, great feedback, glad you like it - you can ride the Glide 2.0 a cm or two further forward btw, in case you miss some front foot pressure. Have fun!

I have that same question about the profile thickness.

The profile thickness is slightly thinner on the Glide 2.0 We didn't want to add winglets on the Glide range since they are wings that are used in the surf and also for jumping and we feel that it is safer to do without these very thin and potentially dangerous winglets. For the Hyperglides the design brief is different, they are full on SUP downwind race wings which are not used for jumping and targeted at a more "elite" level rider.

@@BonieuxJerome thank you very much :)

Hi! Everything is relative, we are mentioning "bigger" stabiliser because just before we were talking about using very small ones for more efficiency when SUP downwinding. The "bigger" stab we talk about is actually a normal size for winging. You are right that if you take a stab which is too big you could end up having too much front foot pressure at high speed.

@@duotone.wingfoilingyes, the first way the one we ve watched in this video , is when we have much wind Is there a video with the other way you ve mentioned about?

here's one example : kzbin.infoT0tvm_omC34

bit small agreed, not there yet..:-) thanks, will get that sorted!

We have recorded very similar top speeds on the new 750 compared to the old 725, but the 750 pumps way better than the 725, actually it almost matches the pump ability of the previous generation 1085 😮

@@BonieuxJerome great! which SLS wing is the fastest on the whole lineup ? We could say is the smallest ? which is the glide, or the 850 carve2.0 is faster than all ?

@@vitulinu01 Carve 850 SLS and Glide 750/725 SLS have the best top speed, they are both quite similar, I have personally recorded both up to 28knots top speed over 2sec.

Probably the 1100 could be a good wing to start on for your weight. Of course, when learning to SUP downwind, the bigger the front wing, the easier the take off is going to be, so for best success rate at the start, you might also want to consider the 1350. As we explain in the video, you could consider downsizing one or even up to two sizes on the H stabs if downwinding only. If you will wing with those wings, best to stay with the recommended stab size.

Got it, thank you! Even though the 1350 would be easier to paddle up, do you think it would have enough speed to keep up with ocean bumps?

@@kovz910 It won't keep up as easily as the 1100 that's for sure. Given you mention that you want to pair it with a 8'0 downwinder slim, and given your light weight, I would recommend you to get the 1100 with the H185 tail and the 66cm fuselage. The new 76cm slim 2.0 mast will really help bring the whole setup to another level ;) The 76cm mast works great for prone as well btw.

You can kitefoil on the smaller Glide 2.0 dlab 620 and possibly the 750 dlab or SLS, but any bigger sizes will have too much span in our opinion. Best to stick to our Carve 2.0 range for kitefoiling.

How did you order them weeks ago? They only released today. Did you order last years model?

@@obvioustrash7833 if you are speaking to the local duotone rep and are close with your duotone dealer then you would have been made aware some weeks ago that these were coming and that there was the possibility to pre-order - which I did. Shops were ordering their stock a few weeks back, the public announcement was today.

Hi Pierre, we recommend not to jump with wings over 100cm span - if you want a mast for really wide wings, then best to choose the Aero SLS range. For cruising, downwind, pumping, they work also for larger wings, especially if you're not the heaviest rider.

To clear up the answer above, what was meant was that we do not recommend jumping wider wings than 1m in span with our dlab mast. You can on the other hand use those mast for freeriding , downwind SUPing and dockstarting wider wings, up to our AMP 1750. in case you are a heavy rider, say over 85kg, you might want to stick to our thicker and stiffer SLS mast for dockstarting the AMP 1750 though as the added rigidity will outweigh the lower drag from the dlab 2.0 mast.

Ok perfect, thanks for the answer😊

It's a normal person's voice, from an agency - I guess the content is the most important, but noted for next time.

thanks, feel free to ask q's!

I would love to hear your thoughts on the sharpness / pointiness of the ends of the tips of front and rear foil. While it may be an accaptable risk for the highest performance foils at least for most intermediate riders the benefit of not beeing afraid to cut yourself would outweight the small performance panalty. After all the fantastic gains in performance in the recent years, I would immediately exchange 5% performance for a safer foil. Many, even some pros round the tips by sanding, but why not include it in the design in the first place?

​@@dinge6670 although they look sharp, we always include a little radius at the end to make sure the wing tips aren't "deadly sharp". Whichever way you look at it, for best performance out of a wing, and by that I mean in terms of lowering the drag generated by the wing, you need to have somehow thin wingtips. On our more beginner oriented wings such as the Lift and the Free range, we compromise some of that low drag performance in favour of thicker and safer wingtips.

Probably a carve dlab or sls. A friend of mine rides both for winging and kiting and they work very well

thanks, yes correct, the Carve 2.0 850 SLS or D/LAB seems to be the favourite amongst our kite customers/team. 1100 also ok, 650 too, for more experienced riders.
