Duotone Front Wing Whizz SLS
INTRODUCING THE WHIZZ SLS, DUOTONE'S LATEST FOIL ADDITION, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR DEDICATED PRONE AND WAKE FOILING BUT COMING WITH GREAT POTENTIAL FOR WING FOILING AS WELL.
THIS LINEUP COMPLEMENTS DUOTONE'S CARVE 2.0 AND GLIDE SERIES, CRAFTED WITH THE GOAL OF CREATING A WING THAT PUMPS EFFORTLESSLY FOR LINKING MULTIPLE WAVES AND OFFERS EXCEPTIONAL MANEUVERABILITY FOR EXECUTING TIGHT TURNS ON THE WAVE.
The Whizz SLS features a mid-aspect ratio of 8.5, enough to balance efficient pumping capabilities with maneuverability. Its straight outline with zero sweep maximizes lift-to-drag ratio, enhancing pumping efficiency. The wing's unique appearance, especially from the front view, features a progressive dihedral shape that makes the Whizz feel exceptionally playful and responsive.
Duotone's design team utilised a robust airfoil design similar to our Glide 2145 pump wing, delaying stall and allowing riders to kick out of waves at low speeds while continuing to pump effectively. Each size of the Whizz wings is fine-tuned with adjusted thickness and camber to ensure a broad speed range and powerful lift at slow speeds.
They have also developed a new range of stabilizers to complement the Whizz's characteristics. The Stabilizer S features minimal sweep and a slight dihedral angle, contributing to a fun and loose feel. This unique profile used is different to our P or C stabilizers and really helps to improve the setup's pumping efficiency.
The Whizz SLS range is available in sizes 850, 1000, 1200, and 1450. The smaller sizes cater to advanced surf foilers looking for maximum wave maneuverability and are also suitable for wing and kite foiling. The larger sizes are designed for beginners or heavier riders seeking an easy platform for learning or advancing their prone surfing or wake foiling skills. They are also ideal for SUP foiling in slow and weaker swell conditions and offer a playful option for dockstart wings for intermediate to advanced riders.
For optimal performance, we recommend pairing the Whizz front wing with our 66cm Alu fuselage, positioned slightly forward in your tracks compared to our Carve or Glide wings. For added playfulness, consider our shorter 60cm fuselage, or for a more controlled ride, our longer 74cm option is available.
Discover the unique character and capabilities of the Whizz SLS range and see why it has impressed our entire team with its innovative design and performance.
