THE TEST BY SEB BIVAUD
DUOTONE GLIDE 2.0 SLS 2025 WING FOIL
Introduction
Here's Seb Bivaud's test of the DUOTONE GLIDE 2.0 SLS foil. We want to thank him for sharing his experience before we dive into his review.
Context
First, you should know I switched from the Glide V1 in size 905 to the V2 in size 750. Honestly, I adapted easily.
Foil highlights
For me, the foil's main strength is the speed and ride it provides. You can maneuver with complete freedom and confidence, which is no surprise. However, at times, it did ventilate, which is normal since there were 30 knots.
What about calmer conditions?
I tested the foil again the next day in conditions between 10 and 12 knots, but it was too small for those conditions. Yet, I understood that the 900 V1 was equivalent to the 750 V2 for light wind take-off, but I'm not convinced.
Conclusion
I don't recommend it if you want to use it as your only foil. But for someone looking to invest in two Front Wings, it's an excellent foil. The solution to consider if you want to buy it would be to get it in size 900 and size 620.
