SUP DOWNWIND PERFORMANCE
The Downwinder Slim D/Lab 2026 sets a new standard in foiling innovation, with its advanced hollow shell composite, offering unparalleled weight reduction and superior rigidity.
FULL DESCRIPTION
The Downwinder Slim D/LAB sets a new standard in foiling innovation, featuring our cutting-edge Hollow Shell Composite construction for unmatched weight savings and stiffness.
As the latest addition to the D/LAB range, this board delivers incredible performance with the easiest take-off and earliest release. Its ultra-low swing weight provides pumping and response that feel close to a much smaller board - while still offering the advantages of volume and buoyancy.
Thanks to the Hollow Shell construction, the board is nearly 30% lighter than the SLS models -approximately 1.6kg less - resulting in faster acceleration and improved paddle speed, completely transforming your downwind foiling experience.
A sleek, narrow outline makes for quick acceleration and smooth transitions. Tail rocker supports effortless take-offs and adds clearance when pumping. The clean monoconcave bottom ensures uninterrupted speed and easy recovery when touching down.
Long Carbon foil tracks provide maximum trimming options to suit a wide range of foil types, offering a truly adaptable setup. A large air vent and drain plug allow pressure to release when not in use, keeping the board in optimal condition.
Available in 7‘8‘‘ x 17.75‘‘ (95l) and 8‘4“ x 18.5“ (110l) sizes, the Downwinder Slim D/LAB is the ultimate tool for riders aiming to elevate their SUP downwind game.
KEY FEATURES
LOW SWING WEIGHT
Ultra-light and stiff for pumping and responsiveness that feels like a smaller board—while keeping the buoyancy and glide of a high-volume shape.
HOLLOW SHELL COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION (SCC)
Revolutionary hollow-core build delivers major weight savings and high stiffness for elevated performance.
EARLY TAKE-OFF
Designed for the easiest lift-off and earliest release, maximizing your foiling time.

from 132 reviewsNice to not have to rinse the charging pins on the woo after every session ;)
great communication and delivered the product when they said. Would definitely use again!
I cannot sing enough praises for H2O Sports! I have over the years made small purchases because they’ve been the most competitive online but recently I bought some new wing foiling kit and there was some slight damage to the alloy mast - well H2O’s aftercare was second to none!! They were instantly chasing down a replacement part and happy for me to be using the old part (albeit a bit bent) whilst waiting for the replacement. So refreshing to experience such great customer service.
Many many Thanks! - will be ordering more and more from this company!!!
Great buying experience. Great prices and delivered quickly. Thanks Guys.
After 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.
