Duotone Foil Wing: the test by Hadou Brunner
Hadou Brunner's full video review of the Duotone Foil Wing. Hadou put the Duotone Foil Wing through its paces over several months of gear testing, with dozens of wingfoil sessions in winds from 12 to 35 knots and input from multiple riders. This allowed him to create a comprehensive video review.
In summary
- The video runs relatively long at 20 minutes. The quality of the footage, the editing, and especially the content make it feel much shorter.
- During these lockdown times, watching a video of board sports, the sea, and the beach feels good. So, the longer, the better!
- This wing is incredibly easy to handle for two key reasons. First, the wishbone provides a very intuitive grip.
- If you come from windsurf, you'll immediately feel at home. You'll know exactly where to place your hands.
Hadou Brunner's full video review of the Duotone Foil Wing
Several months of gear testing, dozens of wingfoil sessions in 12 to 35 knots of wind, and multiple riders allowed Hadou to conduct a complete video test of the Duotone Foil Wing.
The video runs relatively long at 20 minutes. The quality of the footage, the editing, and especially the content make it feel much shorter.
During these lockdown times, watching a video of board sports, the sea, and the beach feels good. So, the longer, the better!
For those short on time, here are some highlights from the video:
"This wing truly delivers high performance in light wind conditions."
"Most importantly, the wishbone lets you adjust the wing's profile."
"Honestly, regarding the feel in your hands once on the water, I don't find that the wishbone adds more weight."
Maneuver: "This wing is the queen, I absolutely love it. It's incredibly easy to handle for two main reasons. First, the wishbone offers a super comfortable grip. If you're coming from windsurf, you'll instantly feel at home; you'll know exactly where to place your hands. The second reason is how smoothly this wing transitions from one tack to another. You really feel that seamless shift when you're executing jibes and transfers."
"If you want to quickly master your transitions, the Duotone will help you get there."
"There's a clear wishbone advantage, a Duotone advantage, with this wishbone that lets you slide your hands and find the perfect position."
"For windsurf riders, this wishbone is an obvious choice."
Hadou mentioned a few drawbacks, such as the wing's stability while surfing. Duotone has already corrected this issue on the 2020 Duotone Echo wings, which replace the 2019 Foil Wing. These will be available at GlissEvolution in early May.
Hadou also discusses the board, which he tested with the Sky Surf 5.11 and the Aero Surf Foil.
For 2020, Fanatic is launching a dedicated wing board, the Sky Wing 2020, along with faster foils, the Aero High Aspect.
