2024 Duotone Ventis D/LAB Wing

LIGHTWIND / FREERIDE

Sizes: 7m / 8m

Description:

Introducing the latest innovation in light wind Wing Foiling - the Ventis D/LAB ensures you are first out on the water. This new 3 strut design provides the ultimate in lift and power in light wind conditions. Premium Aluula material is used throughout the leading edge and struts. In combination with the sleek 3-strut design, this material provides a lightweight, rigid frame that offers unmatched performance in light wind conditions.

The Ventis D/LAB delivers light, responsive and impressive lift that pulls you up and onto the foil without the need for excessive pumping. The rigid and responsive 3-strut Aluula frame, has allowed designer Ken Winner to reduce the wing tips, to minimize catching or dragging a wing tip, resulting in 7 and 8 meter wings that are user friendly and accessible even for smaller riders and those with less experience. The additional two struts have enhanced the performance and created a highly efficient canopy profile all the way to the tips, increasing lift and power throughout the entire surface area of the wing, with optimal canopy tension, flying stability, and de-power. Efficiency and performance in the lightest of winds are the driving forces behind the Ventis D/LAB, which is why we have coupled the Aluula leading edge and struts with our lightweight 50g ripstop canopy, with a focus on thread orientation in each panel to keep the large canopy area as light as possible while delivering the best response and performance.

The Ventis D/LAB is equipped with a longer carbon front handle for effortless handling when riding one-handed. The center strut profile works in unison with the ergonomics of the handles, resulting in a more comfortable angle for your hands and a straighter back arm, for longer, more comfortable sessions on the water. The Ventis D/LAB offers the pinnacle of light wind wing performance, with unmatched weight, responsiveness, lift and power resulting in an experience that will totally transform your light wind sessions.
