DUOTONE FOIL RANGE 2025
The properties of each foil, including shape and size, distinctly influence the user's riding experience. Duotone has launched a new Glide range, 'the 2.0', in response to the needs of the rider. In 2025, the Foil Line-Up will be further expanded with the introduction of the Hyperglide D/LAB - a high-performance foil designed specifically for Downwinders. This foil promises unparalleled efficiency and speed, representing the height of foil technology. Additionally, the Aero Slim 2.0 D/LAB is our latest and most efficient mast design. It might be the right moment to consider an upgrade. Top picks below! Or Shop the range now CLICK HERE

New Duotone Hyperglide... Introducing a new addition to our Foil Line-Up for 2025 - the Hyperglide D/LAB, the pinnacle of performance for Downwinders, designed to deliver unmatched efficiency and speed. 

Where should you begin...

A foil with a large front wing and stable flight characteristics is best suited for beginners. The ideal foil size for learners is between 2000 and 2500 cm². The length of the fuselage plays a decisive role for an easily controllable flight phase. A longer fuselage of 66 to 74 cm gives the hydrofoil a stable, easy-to-handle ride, which makes it easier for beginners to control the foil. The mast length should be shorter to avoid higher flights and to create a more direct connection between the foil and the board. Suitable mast lengths for beginners are between 70 and 80 cm.

Foil Design Parameters

The design parameters of a foil include wing area, profile, aspect ratio, fuselage length and mast length. These characteristics influence the lift, stability, maneuverability and speed of the foil.

- More surface area - more lift, less surface area - less lift

- Higher aspect ratio - better planing characteristics, lower aspect ratio - more maneuverable handling

- Longer fuselage - more directional stability, shorter fuselage - more maneuverability and agility

 LOW, MID or High Aspect?

Low aspect foils have a shorter wingspan and are rounder, allowing maneuverability and lift at lower speeds. Medium aspect ratio foils offer a good balance between lift, speed and maneuverability and are therefore versatile for different conditions. High aspect foils have a larger wingspan, better glide characteristics and remain flying at lower speeds compared to low aspect foils. This makes them particularly suitable for maximizing efficiency and performance, especially in lighter winds, smaller waves and for pumpfoiling.

Mast & Fuse Length! 

Beginners should choose a medium to longer fuselage (66 cm or 74 cm) for sufficient stability. A shorter mast length (75 cm) makes it easier to control the flight and the board.

Advanced wingfoilers can vary the fuselage length depending on their riding style. Shorter fuselages offer a more maneuverable ride and more pop when jumping, while longer fuselages enable more directional stability at higher speeds and more tilt stability. The mast length can vary between 75 cm, 82cm and 90 cm depending on the area and conditions. A short mast is suitable for spots with low water levels or shallow spots. A length of 82 cm can be used for freeriding, freestyling and also for waves. A mast length of 90 cm is suitable for spots with higher swell and for wingfoilers who are chasing top speeds.

Foil Configuration..

The Duotone Foil Configurator is the ultimate tool to find the most suitable mast-fuselage-wing combination for you. By entering your riding level, most ridden conditions, wind conditions, body weight, preferred foil characteristics and available budget, the Duotone Foil Configurator calculates your three best matches. This gives you immediate clarity on which foil is best for you, especially when entering the world of wingfoiling.

Aluminum masts Or Carbon! 

Aluminum masts offer solid performance with proven quality and durability and are the first choice when looking for an attractively priced set, especially at the beginning. In contrast, carbon masts save up to 20% weight and have some advantages in terms of profile width and depth. These already come into their own with our SLS masts and are exploited even further with the D/LAB mast and fuselage sets.
