Our customer Mike put the new Duotone Glide 3.0 950 through its paces off Shoreham, running it back-to-back against the Crest across three tail options. Here's his full verdict on glide, pumping and which tail wins.

The new Foil Drive FM+ 430 battery is 17% lighter than the MAX High Power and runs five minutes longer, in a unit making 20% more thrust. We've run the whole range on weight-to-power, then put it alongside the Duotone Foil Assist.

The 2027 Ultra Freewave 2.0 lands in both D/LAB and SLS with a Domier deck around the footstrap area for better riding comfort and a new tail outline for improved turn-ability. Six sizes, 74 to 119 litres.

The 2027 Cosmic 4 SLS brings the World Cup wave shape updates — more nose rocker, refined tail outline and reworked tuck line — to a stock board in four sizes from 76 to 94 litres.

Foil Drive's Gen 2.5 range has landed: a new Assist MAX+ with 20% more thrust, FM+ batteries that finally cross between the MAX+ and the Fusion, and a free power upgrade for every Fusion out there. Every question we expect to be asked, answered with the numbers.
