Description
The WARP_FOIL extends the Duotone PWA and IFCA fin slalom champion sail range. It’s a specific and highly advanced foil design suited for foil racers looking for something that complements the low-drag of the hydrofoil. Compared to traditional fin sailing you have approximately 70% lower drag on the foil. Therefore it requires a totally different sail design (profile, twist pattern, aspect ratio) to match the low-drag hydrofoils. The 20.24 lineup is fully focused on the new PWA slalom foil rules.
The major focus when developing the new Duotone WARP_FOIL 20.24 was to increase the wind range (= improved average speed) and flight control in the top end (=improved v-max). To achieve this the luff curve was substantially increased which leads to a much more controlled and balanced behaviour when fully powered up. We also increased the luff length even further which allowed us to reduce the head geometry. The smaller head creates a smaller leverage thus improves control and balance.
More improvements incorporated into the 20.24 design:
The boom length got shortened which reduces the backhand pressure
The sail twist between batten 1-3 increased for more release which improves top speed and acceleration
The massive double-foil sleeve is now made out of 4 pieces and has a tremendous effect on the flying shape aerodynamics
In our eyes, the WARP_FOIL 20.24 redefines the benchmark of the control to performance to wind-range ratio. It’s purely designed to win low-drag hydrofoil races!
Attention: for maximum performance the WARP_FOIL is equipped with 4 carbon tube battens. These battens are stiffer but unfortunately also more fragile than glass tube battens. Therefore, they are excluded from our warranty!

ATTENTION: since the mast geometry and length (= stiffness) depend on the sail design, size and luff curve the sails will NOT work with any masts outside the recommendations!
Ordered a pair of open palm mitts .My hands are quite warm wearing then and I am not getting any arm fatigue . Order and delivery no problem so very happy with my purchase
Service levels from Sam and his team spot on, I’m getting back into windsurfing so needed loads of advice. (20 years off )Genuinely helpful and friendly would happily recommend to anyone needing kit.
Kit all landed next day in perfect condition. Rigged with Sam’s help over the phone to see how it all works. Not sailed it yet as it’s too cold for me….
Brilliant, placed order for shark master pump nozzle replacement- came within a couple of days. Easy to navigate website, quick turnaround. Will definitely come back.
Great experience buying a kayak & seat from Worthing Watersports. Very competitive prices, good communication and very nice & helpful people at the store when I picked up. Definitely recommend.
Bought a windsurf board. Communication throughout was brilliant. I enquired about a foil for the board too and Sam cam back to me with a full kit list and advice on what to get.
Great place to buy from!
After a hiccup with the delivery arrangements , Sam and team redeemed themselves following up with very good after sales service. 👍 some things are worth the wait 🤙
