@@alancadizwingfoilinginstru2926 I'll for sure visit your Patreon page today. Ill be in Maui in 3 weeks, I'll stop by Hi-Tech and see if you are around. Bringing my wing gear of course, but staying in Kihei, I hope there are some spots near there?

@@colomacountry Thanks Corvus, FYI I shut my office in HT during the covid lockdown. I do all bookings online now. You can find me at Kanaha or reach out via text to 808 871JIBE. Hope to see on maui soon.

Or message me through the Patreon App

All Good experience so far with Aluula. Just leaning on the history of Dacron.

Aloha thecrets007, I too come from the windsurf back round and I really like the boom too. Transitions, turning around, are much easier. The D Lab is lighter for sure but as a beginner you will not appreciate the permanence difference. The slick is a great wing too. It will not hold you back.

I also have a slick, but the price difference between the slick and unit 2022 right now is pretty big. I havent tested the unit, but I can tell you that the slick is an excellent wing and is great for learning. From what I understood from videos about the unit 2022 is that its a light performance wing with a lot of power behind it (great for downwinders and racing) which like alan said, you probably wont notice as a beginner. I dont think the big price difference is worth it when learning

Just my 2 cents: 93kg novice rider-> my Unit 6,5 ('22) works in 11kts. It is lifty! A feature that I'm not after in smaller sizes, therefore my 5mtr is the SlickSLS and 4mtr is the old Slick! ^^

Thank you Angus, Patreon.com/AlanCadiz

Thanks Mik, I can't say if it will have more "grunt". I can say because of the stiffness of the Aluula it has a higher wind range. I have had no problems with the Aluula. Dacron has a long history of durability. Time will answer that question. Kiters have been using the Aluula in some of their kites for a few years now. So it does have some history.

Hey man. I'm thinking of Buying the duotone 2022 unit. For a beginner what size wing would you recommend ? I'm 70kg. 5'11. I plan to practice first on a SUP

@@anikibrother7691 The depends on your local wind conditions. What is the average wind speed. Also unless you have center fin or dagger board or strap on fins for your SUP it will be difficult to stay upwind.

Thanks Ham, I have not used any speed app with the D labs, yet. I am now using the Apple Watch and the "Water Speed" app. I will post soon.

Same size, If I understand your question, because you can hold the D lab in stronger wind and not feel overpowered.

@@alancadizwingfoilinginstru2926 ok. Thank you Alan.

The Aluula is stiff even at 6.5 PSI

The size depends more on the amount of wind you you will be using it in. Please know that when using a hand held wing on a SUP board it is very difficult to sail up wind. Even for a skilled rider it is challenging to come back to the spot where they launched. If you where using in a foil board with your weight I would guess 4 to 6 meter depending on wind strength. Hope that helps.

Glad you like it Larry.

Go Foil RS 500

@@alancadizwingfoilinginstru2926 thank you alan 🤙

I swear, this is my biggest gripe with duotone... I buy a new wing and im just scared its going to break and I will lose it

The loop of line on the duotone wing has never failed me.

@@obvioustrash7833 It won't break, but the knot you tie might fail. check it before you head out on the water.

D lab is the model, Aluula is the tissue or cloth that the D lab leading edge is made of.
