We’re excited to announce the release of the new Duotone Carve 3.0 foil, meticulously refined for wave riding, freestyle action, and kite foiling. Developed in collaboration with foil designer Jerome Bonier and thoroughly tested by Duotone’s top team riders, the Carve 3.0 offers significant enhancements to glide, projection, breachability, and intuitive handling—all without compromising the explosive pop loved by freestylers.
Key Enhancements and Features
Refined Outline and Profile
The Carve 3.0 sees an updated outline inspired by the Glide 2.0, with a pronounced belly in the centre that provides excellent pop and lift. The narrower wing tips facilitate smooth transitions from toe to heel, dramatically improving the foil’s roll stability and preventing tip breaches during aggressive turns.
Improved Wave Riding Performance
The new, more cambered profile increases the lift-to-drag ratio, offering greater glide and drive when surfing waves. The foil is now easier to pump and projects through turns more efficiently, allowing riders to maintain speed and perform radical manoeuvres effortlessly.
Enhanced Breach Recovery
The flatter wing tips significantly improve tip breach recovery, enabling riders to aggressively slash turns and confidently recover without losing momentum. This feature makes the Carve 3.0 incredibly forgiving and perfect for dynamic wave riding.
New PX Stabilizers
Paired with the updated PX stabilizers (available in sizes 160, 175, and 195), the Carve 3.0 offers improved pitch control, smoother turning, and reduced drag. These stabilizers feature enhanced twist angles for a balanced, reactive feel.
Robust Construction
The fuselage connection area has been strengthened to withstand the demands of aggressive freestyle manoeuvres and powerful wave riding, providing reliable durability without sacrificing aerodynamic efficiency.
Available Sizes
The Carve 3.0 comes in multiple sizes and constructions to cater to different riders and conditions:
- 500, 650: Ideal for kite foiling and aggressive wave riding, offering superior control and responsiveness.
- 800: The freestyle favourite, delivering explosive pop and agility, perfect for dynamic manoeuvres.
- 950: Bridging the gap between sizes, offering excellent versatility for a wide range of riders.
- 1100, 1300: Larger sizes for increased lift, suitable for heavier riders and lighter wind conditions.
