- What is the difference between the Duotone Foil Range?
Sam gets asked this question all the time in the store and on the phone. So, I decided to do a video explaining the differences in their shapes and what the shape differences feel like in the water when riding.
Sam breaks down the concept of aspect ratio, a crucial factor in the feel and sensation of the Duotone Foil Range. This practical understanding can guide you in making an informed choice that aligns with your water sports needs. He also delves into the practical implications of both high and low-aspect duotone foils, discussing their Advantages and Disadvantages.
Which Duotone Foil is best for me?
When it comes to choosing the right Duotone Foil, it's crucial to consider your own abilities, body weight, the prevailing conditions, and the style of wing foiling you aspire to. This personalised approach is key to finding the perfect fit for you.
In this video, Sam highlights the positives of the Duotone Aero Free. It is a mid-aspect foil that covers all bases for beginners and advanced riders. You just cannot go wrong with a mid-aspect foil.
The Duotone Carve 2.0 is the latest wave foil from Duotone. It is the lowest aspect of the range and allows the user to carve aggressively due to its strong shape. It is also the best foil for jumping & freestyle due to its aggressive lift. However, although it has great low stall speed, it does not have great glide, therefor it is recommended to use this foil in bigger waves.
Is the Duotone Whizz or Duotone Glide best for light wind?
Sam covers the difference between Whizz and Glide from his first-hand experience. They both have their pros and Cons, but Sam believes it comes down to the user's ability and the conditions you intend to use these foils in. The Duotone Glide is a bit easier to use and is also more comfortable on flat water. However, the Duotone Whizz is a great light wind powerful foil that is easy to pump but tends to want to carve and turn. So, it is considered a great foil for light wind winging in small to medium-sized waves.

Thanks a lot from Cologne/Germany for this very valuable & helpful overview into the amazing Duotone foil range. Very well done, 🙏 Ralf
Nice video, loving the 850 Carve 2.0 for kite foiling - perfect balance between speed and manoeuvrability. That "adverse camber" you are referring to is Dihedral - the angle up from the horizontal, Anhedral is where it angles down.
Thanks a lot for this great video. I've got a question . I'd like to buy a glide for light wind. I ride in lacs essentially. I got a sky free 5.3, wing 6m maxi. I'm 70kg. Age 58 and freerider with a beginner/intermediate level (not passing yet the jibes) . What size would you recommend? Thanks
Heya, I would go for the 1305 for light wind and 1050 for higher winds :) I'm a very similar weight.
I found out 1305 really low wind, but kind of boring. Rather takin our dlab carve and bigger wing unless There is NO wind. Whizz 1000 might be the best, best of 2 world, check it out..80kg here..
Very helpful info -
Am currently 5 months into my foiling,
Currently using the entry level 2000 all rounder but am progressing well ,
Starting to have increased success rate on the genes so sizing up my next foil
- am around 85 kg and hoping to move in more open sea foiling going forward - what would you recommend ?
@@user-cj9nw1ps6w heya thank you 🤩
I don’t think you can go wrong with the aero free. Maybe 1500 or 1750.
I think when you’re ready to progress the 1500 will be best for long term. You probably won’t need another foil as they are very efficient
Thanks, which one is good for kite foil beginner?? Wind strenth is nomally 9 to 13 knot , 70 kg..
heya, the carve 2.0 is the best morden duotone foil for all alspects of kitesurfing... however there still some of the previous generation that are being sold very cheap.
