Duotone Wing & Foiling Tech Talk - Aero Carve 2.0 SLS & D/LAB 

Well spotted, there's a secret weapon in the background, which is something we're still working on. As for the Carve, we're staying with the current Carve sizing for this season, but we hear your request for something between 850 and 650 for the next round ;-)

​@@duotone.wingfoiling Well placed, dear marketing :) thanks for the info! I did several speedruns with a friend and was impressed by the speed for the Glide and Carve.

Low aspect ratio generates less lift, less lift means you can ride faster. It all comes down to how much camber you have built into the profile as well. The Carve has relatively little camber built in, allowing it to cruise at higher speeds. Also the reduced span allows the rider to lean more and to push harder into the foil. It doesn't mean that a higher aspect ratio foil can't be fast! It is just that in our range, the Carve is the faster design.

Until now I thought lower aspect means slower as it has less Efficiency.. The most beginner foils got lower aspect. I am a bit confused. But guess the volume and the thickness also plays a big role?

Sure 😊 We have such wings in the pipeline. Stay tuned

One is the background, right?

​@@rndlab2not quite, that one is a freerace foil we are working on, but not ready yet 😉

Although the Carves haven't been designed for racing as such, you could definitely use them. For reference I can reach 2s Vmax speeds of about 32 knots winging and just shy of 40 knots kitefoiling the Carve 500 dlab in my Mauritian swimming pool 😅. Hope that helps.

@@BonieuxJerome 32 knots on 17mm mast is quite impressive. Any plans on thinner masts closer to 13mm?

I can neither confirm nor deny. You will have to stay tuned for our September product release 😊
