DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Performance and Ride Feel
The Unit D/LAB stands out with direct power and immediate responsiveness. On the water, you'll feel a crisp on/off that facilitates re-acceleration and quick maneuvers. This connected feel makes transitions safer and allows you to focus on riding, whether you're looking to jump, downwind, or surf a wave.
Stability and steering in waves.
Drift stability and precise steering are designed for Surf and downwind. The deeper canopy at the quarter wingspan stabilizes flutter and offers a light, balanced lift during maneuvers, which helps maintain control in Surf or challenging sections.
Construction and reduced weight.
The Aluula Gold Leading Edge and central strut reduce overall weight and increase responsiveness. Combined with MOD3 S fabric, the construction provides stiffness and durability, and direct feedback without making the wing heavy in hand.
Adaptability and Ergonomics
You can configure the wing with the Fusion boom or opt for handles depending on your style. The reduced Leading Edge diameter and compact outline promote top speed and dynamic handling, practical when alternating freeride, freestyle, and wave sessions.
Who it's for and When to Use It
We recommend the Unit D/LAB to intermediate to advanced riders looking for performance and control. It thrives in a wide range of conditions and allows for progression thanks to its precise feedback and drift stability.
Finish and longevity.
Premium materials and MOD3 S fabric ensure good durability session after session. The finishes and care given to the attachment points demonstrate a design focused on longevity and reliability.
