New shape, a hollow-shell D/LAB that drops over 2 kg, and a size range that shrank from eight boards to five. What changed on the 2027 Skybrid, how it stacks up against the Paradox and Midfish, and an honest look at when the 2026 board on our rack is the better buy.
Seven front wings, three constructions, four tails, five masts. A map of Duotone's 2027 foil range — what each one is for, the sizes and stabilisers, what fits what, and which foil we would point you at for the north Kent coast.
Same shape, three frames, three prices. What actually changes between the 2027 Unit D/LAB, SLS and Original, the wind range for every size, boom vs handles, and which one we would point you at for north Kent water.
The tide matters more than the wind here. A local's guide to The Street, Long Rock at Tankerton and Seasalter — when each one works, which wind directions to chase, what kites the locals actually fly, and the two hazards that will destroy a kite in seconds.
