The 2027 Duotone Unit D/LAB runs a full Aluula Gold frame weighing 82g, with a shorter strut and a slimmer leading edge. Plus new Sky Style and Skybrid boards, Glide 3.0 foils and a Quickmount mast.

The 2027 Cosmic D/LAB lands with a new asymmetric side fin set, a refined layup saving another 100–200g, more nose rocker and a reworked tail outline. Eight sizes from 53 to 106 litres, made to order.

The 2027 Skate keeps its proven shapes but moves to full D/LAB construction — and unusually, Duotone spent the gain on durability rather than weight. Four sizes, made to order, with extended warranty.
