The Duotone Glide 3.0 D/LAB 2027 takes Duotone's successful Glide hydrofoil platform to a new level of efficiency, control and playfulness.
With an increased aspect ratio of approximately 12, the new Glide delivers significantly improved pump and glide performance while maintaining an agile and dynamic feel that makes it suitable for much more than straight-line efficiency.
Designed for wing foiling, downwind foiling, parawing, freefly and prone foiling, the Glide 3.0 D/LAB combines outstanding low-end lift with a broad usable speed range, making it a highly versatile performance hydrofoil.
What's New on the Glide 3.0 D/LAB?
Increased Aspect Ratio – approximately 12: improved pump, glide and efficiency.
New Crest-Inspired Profile: excellent low-end performance, easier pumping and reduced rider fatigue.
Moustache Curvature with Upturned Tips: creates a looser roll response, improved turning and greater control during tip breaches.
Optimized Chord Taper: further increases pump and glide efficiency.
3BS+ Connection with Fourth Screw: increases pitch stability throughout the speed range.
Exceptional Pump & Glide Efficiency
The increased aspect ratio and optimized chord distribution allow the Glide 3.0 D/LAB to convert rider input into long, efficient glide phases.
Its stall-friendly foil profile creates smooth low-speed lift, allowing the foil to remain flying in low-energy conditions while reducing the physical effort required to pump between bumps or connect sections.
Built for Downwind and Parawing
Efficiency at low energy makes the Glide 3.0 D/LAB particularly suited to downwind foiling and parawing, where maintaining flight through softer sections is critical.
Smooth and predictable power delivery also makes the foil highly effective for winging, prone foiling and freefly sessions.
Moustache Curvature with Upturned Tips
The distinctive moustache-style curvature gives the Glide 3.0 a more playful roll response than the previous Glide generation.
Upturned tips improve maneuverability and allow controlled tip breaching without immediately compromising stability, providing more freedom when carving waves or linking bumps.
