Duotone Front Wing Glide 3.0 SLS Foil 2027
The 2027 Duotone Glide 3.0 SLS front wing — a high-aspect foil built for glide and pump, covering winging, prone, downwind and parawing. Five sizes, 825 to 1400.
The Glide 3.0 SLS shares its design DNA with the D/LAB version but lands in Duotone's SLS construction, which keeps the performance while bringing the price down. The headline change over the Glide 2.0 is an increased aspect ratio of around 12, which buys you noticeably better pump and glide — enough that most riders can drop a size compared with what they were on before.
- Crest-inspired stall-friendly profile — effortless low-end lift with a huge usable speed range, so you get up early and stay on foil in minimal-energy conditions without burning your legs out.
- Moustache curvature with upturned tips — a loose, dynamic roll response that makes it far more manoeuvrable than a high-aspect wing has any right to be, and lets you breach and recover without losing stability.
- Optimised chord distribution — efficiency and glide across a wide range of conditions, and in the bigger sizes enough low-end to link downwind and parawing runs on the smallest bumps, lakes and inland water included.

Frequently asked questions
Which size should I go for?
As a rule, the bigger sizes fly earlier and suit lighter wind, downwind and parawing, while the smaller ones are faster and looser for stronger wind and freeride. Your weight, your board and what you are riding all come into it — and because the Glide 3.0 pumps better than the 2.0, plenty of riders go a size smaller than they expect. Give us a ring and we will work it out with you rather than guess.
Is this the same as the D/LAB version?
Same design DNA and the same profile concept, built in SLS rather than D/LAB construction. You get the Glide 3.0 shape and performance at a lower price than the D/LAB.
What has changed from the Glide 2.0?
The aspect ratio has gone up to around 12, which improves pump and glide enough that Duotone reckon most riders can downsize. The size range has also been widened at the top end for better low-end performance.
Will it fit my mast and fuselage?
This is a front wing only. Duotone also publish a recommended stabiliser for each size depending on whether you are winging, proning, parawinging or going downwind. Tell us what you are running and we will confirm the right combination before you order.
Does it come with screws?
Yes, the mounting screws are included.
