PWA FIN RACING IS BACK AND WE HAVE AN UNBEATABLE PACKAGE FOR YOU!
The introduction of the D/Lab boards in 2024 marked the dawn of a new era. Now, in 2026, we are excited to present the biggest update in our board history ever. Apart from all new shapes, no stone was left unturned and we are proud to present you some unprecedented and truly unique features, processes and technologies.
FULL DESCRIPTION
2026 marks the biggest update to our entire racing program (boards and sails) in over 10 years!
In addition to our industry-leading FULL CUSTOM TECHNOLOGY all shapes have been reworked over the last 2 years using our exclusive AI_BOARD_3D software.
The result is simply mind-blowing.
This already starts before hitting the water. Simply lift the board and you will be shocked how light it is. Then knock on the hull and you immediately realize how stiff the board is. Compare it with a typical semi-custom production board and the difference is imminent.
But wait until you put the board onto the water. Our last years boards had already proven to be one of the fastest but these boards are on a different level.
Besides all new shapes the secret of this performance jump is our new AI_BOARD_3D software. The curves of the key elements rocker, outline and rail get synchronized to perfection using artificial intelligence to avoid that the curves work against each other. When starting we had tested this on the existing FALCON_FIN boards. Even though the human eye couldn't tell the difference between the boards, the difference on the water was overwhelming, as the AI-optimized boards showed a performance increase of a good 10%.
HERE IS WHAT’S NEW FOR 2026
AI_BOARD_3D
For the first time ever, all board sizes offer the same level of performance.
Higher rails
Make it very easy to maintain the perfect trim.
Completely redesigned tail
Provides more release and keeps the board accelerating.
Shorter in every size
Less nose lift and incredible control.
Updated RECESSED MAST TRACK AREA
Maximum efficiency between sail and board.
Bigger medium board
The 118 medium board got bigger for improved power and acceleration
Additional size
New to the range is the 124 size.
FALCON_FIN D/LAB - we are very convinced that the combination of the most competitive shapes and our industry-leading FULL CUSTOM D/LAB TECHNOLOGY will be the board which leads you to the podium - at your local spot or at any fin racing competition.
KEY FEATURES
TECH AND SHAPE
Proven World Cup winning shapes now in a 100% full custom CNC technology
FULL CUSTOM D/LAB TECHNOLOGY
The FULL CUSTOM D/LAB TECHNOLOGY build like the most high-end custom-made boards but with a tested and proven shape.
2 STEP CUT-OUTS
The 2 STEP CUT-OUTS reduce the wetted surface for more control and speed
360° R&D
With designer Kai Hopf and our product managers Dani Aeberli and Marco Lang, one and the same team is now responsible for the board, rig and even fin development. This results in an unrivalled board-rig ecosystem in which all DUOTONE products are really matching 100% now.
Besides this perfect match, the other driving force behind our R&D is the relentless push of our wave team around Victor Fernandez and Liam Dunkerbeck for better and better products.
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY
Unlike the industry-standard semi custom technology, all our boards are now produced in a full custom technology which results in the best weight vs. strength ratio.
AI_BOARD_3D DESIGN SOFTWARE
In contrast to the industry-standard Shape3d program, our own exclusive 3D CAD software is based on math data-driven input. This allows us to cross-check the outcome using artificial intelligence to ensure maximum precision. Apart from being much more accurate and faster, complex 3D design tasks such as our ground-breaking SYNCED CURVES CONCEPT would otherwise have been simply impossible to realize.
CNC SHAPED ONLY
All our boards are CNC shaped now which is not only much more accurate, but opens more decisive advantages compared to the traditional mould construction method which allows us to implement new shapes at any time.
PRODUCTION FOCUSED DEVELOPMENT
Every single prototype is made in our exclusive factory using the exact same process and materials as the production boards. This way, each prototype has exactly the same weight and flex and therefore feels identical to the board you get.
D/LAB CUSTOMIZED
MADE FOR THE FEW - MADE FOR YOU!
FULL CUSTOM D/LAB TECHNOLOGY
CNC shaped using our most high-end layup and entirely handcrafted, identical to high-end custom-made boards for an unmatched weight-durability ratio.
CUSTOMIZED
Individual colour schemes and a unique serial number make it your personal dream board.
PROVEN & TESTED SHAPES
Proven and tested shapes from the brand with the longest experience in windsurf board design. Just one millimetre or a mismatched fin/mast-track position can turn a magic board into an under-performer. This way, you or a potential second-hand customer know exactly what you are getting.

Let customers speak for us
from 127 reviewsAfter purchasing this wing earlier this year it has noticeably made tacks so much smoother and overall upgraded my riding. I bought the 3.0 and 5.0 metre and my 3.0m flies very well in both underpowered and overpowered conditions
I purchased the Unit SLS 2025 wing earlier this year and it has made tacks so much smoother and upgraded my riding. I also bought the Duotone Carve 3.0 D/LAB 2025 with the 800 front wing and once again it’s been a game changer, having a great amount of glide which works perfectly for both wingfoiling and kitefoiling!
All thanks to the H2O team that always have loads of knowledge, passion for watersports and go above and beyond!
Preferring not to throw away my (now discontinued) North Red boom which had a broken cuff, I called H2O to see if there was any way to salvage it. I spoke with Matt who was very knowledgeable and helpful but came off the phone somewhat resigned that I might not be able to get the part. However to my surprise a little while later I was blown away (with a force 5) when I got a call to tell me he’d sourced one for me. And here I am now, a week on, with all the bits I need to get back on the water; whoever said people don’t have time to help others! So the moral of this story is have a little faith and try H2O!

Ordered a 1350 Glide 2.0 to progress on to from my 1750 aero free. Being a heavier rider I've found it's now my go to foil wing, initially a bit harder to get on the foil compared to the aero free but once up it feels completely effort less! Thanks to the team for getting me sorted out 🤙
James, Matt and the H20 Team are absolute gurus of the water sports industry, friendly, helpful and knowledgable. They will always give the right advice and come up with superb deals and first class support, thanks guys for always helping me to make the right decisions over the last 20 + years!
My new mast arrived from H20. Sports and it was so worth the wait. You immediately notice how much stiffer it is compared to the v1 carbon version when riding. The foil feels more responsive and direct .It also glides longer in transition s and riding bumps.
Its well worth the upgrade in my opinion.
I bpught this wing to replacr my Unit 5.5 m wing for tje summer breezes as i never liked using big wings. This wing is really powerful in the low end and allows you to pump really efficiently to get on foil with a bit of technique.
You can size down by half a metre with this wing compared to a Unit.
Its still fast and so good iwhen you roll into a tack.
Perfect quiver would be a 3 m , 4m & a 5 m in the Float for all conditions.
Its a great price too as lower than Dlab and SLS wings but with great performance.
As one of the H2O riders I have really enjoyed the variety of kit H2O have available. Including the Duotone sky surf 35Ltr which quickly become my favourite board because of its shorter and thicker shape while being low in litres it still allows me to get it out the water in some lighter winds. However it comes into its own when the wind is strong and the waves are pumping with its incredible manoeuvrability. Paired with the Duotone units (that are light weight and precisely balanced) wave riding is a dream.
I've been one of those riders who thought one board was enough. Turns out a downwind board has opened up so many more days on the water. I cant believe how easy this beast gets going in 6 knots. I use my 8' board with the 1100 and 1595 Duotone Glide. It's like a whole new sport. Whilst I've tried paddling up, I think I'll stick to winging for now (although can't wait to try the Stash Parawing).
Lots of the benefits of the DLAB Unit but without the price tag. Strong, light, and powerful. It's been great in all conditions, handles really well when over powered. I bought the 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 to cover all eventualities. Personally I prefer the handle option which works really well with my harness. Matt and the team really helpful in deciding on the sizing.
I absolutely love my 65L/4'9" Sky Style SLS Wing Board. I'm about 88kg and it suits me for most conditions. Easy planing, great in waves, sold for jumping. Incredibly light, especially when paired with a DLAB Carve 800 foil and mast, which makes it a great overseas travel option too. Carbon finish and colours look great (picture on website doesn't do it enough justice). Not a big fan of the front foot straps overlapping but going to put the new v-strap on which will sort this.
I usually go for the DLAB or SLS Concept Blue Units but this wing has had great reviews so thought I'd give it a try. Great power delivery and handling, really light weight but solid construction. The wing’s dihedral and tension profile give amazing flight balance so although designed for wave/downwind, I think this wind would suit all levels. Bought teh 5m for the summer but bought a 4 ready for the winter swell.
The 2025 Unit is a good allrounder fast, stiff & light wing.
I prefer to size down my Unit as they are really grunty wings.
They also have great top end aswell and the white colourway looks cool.
I have ridden the Skybrid SLS 70 litre and its a great hybrid board between a short wave freesyle board and a mid length shape.
Easy to get up though its narrower than my previous boards and does require a little more effort.
The big advantage is the early planing speed to get on foil and the glide.
Its a good allrounder in waves and flat water.
