The Duotone Midfish Air is the inflatable counterpart to the solid Midfish – built specifically to make Foil Assist and Cruise sessions as safe, forgiving and practical as possible for new riders and shared setups.
With its generous 115 Litres volume, narrow mid-length outline and fishtail, it gives you super-easy take-offs and a very steady platform in the air, without feeling like a clumsy barge. The inflatable construction keeps weight low and significantly softens any crashes, which is a big win for beginners, families, rental centres and schools who are racking up lots of first sessions.
Paired with the Cruise mast and Foil Assist system, the Midfish Air delivers smooth, controlled rides with enough glide to get going easily and enough stability to let people focus on learning foil control rather than worrying about hard knocks.
Key specs
-
Size & volume: 6'10" × 22½" – 115 Litres (Approx. 208 cm × 57 cm)Big, stable platform with plenty of float for learners, but still narrow enough to feel efficient once up and riding
- Shape & design details
- Narrow mid-length outline for efficient paddling and easy lift onto foil
- Fishtail adds stability at take-off and keeps the tail feeling predictable when the board is skimming on the surface
- Volume spread evenly to support a wide range of rider weights without feeling nose-heavy or tail-sinky
- Deck layout designed to keep stance clear and uncluttered for first-time foilers
Construction & fittings
- High-pressure dropstitch inflatable build with reinforced foil mount area for stiffness where it counts
- Standard US foil tracks, compatible with Duotone Cruise and Assist masts, plus most other plate-mount masts
- Deck pad for grip and comfort in bare feet or boots
- Foil Assist & Cruise integration
- The Midfish Air is specifically tuned to work with the Cruise mast in the Duotone Foil Assist range, making it one of the easiest and most confidence-inspiring ways to experience electric assistance:
- The 115 Litres volume and narrow outline combine to give very straightforward, low-speed take-offs.
- Once paired with the Cruise mast and Foil Assist, riders get a smooth, controllable push that helps them stand, balance and learn the basics of pitch control.
- The board’s shape and volume help maximise the runtime benefit of the Foil Assist batteries by keeping take-off speeds low and drag sensible.
- Because it uses US tracks, you can also pair the Midfish Air with:
- Cruise Mast AL as the primary choice for beginners and cruising
- Foil Assist Mast AL or D/LAB for more performance-focused riders who still want the safety of an inflatable deck
- Third-party foils via the appropriate Adapter Fuselage (Axis, Lift, F-One, North, Code, Gong, Sabfoil, AFS, KT and more)
Secure battery box mounting & safety
A key feature for learning and shared setups is the option to securely attach the Foil Assist battery box to the tail of the Midfish Air. This:
- Keeps heavy components away from the rider in a fall
- Reduces the chance of tangles around the waist for nervous beginners
- Makes the whole system feel more predictable for schools and rental environments
- Combined with the inflatable construction, it creates one of the safest, most forgiving Foil Assist platforms available.
Who it’s for
The Midfish Air is ideal for:
- Beginners taking their first steps into foiling with Foil Assist or Cruise
- Families sharing one setup between different sizes and abilities
- Rental centres and schools needing a board that is robust, forgiving and easy to store
- Travellers and van-lifers who want a Foil Assist-ready board that packs down small but still feels like a proper foil board on the water
- If you’re building a two-board Foil Assist quiver, the Midfish Air makes a brilliant “easy” board to sit alongside a smaller, solid Midfish for your own higher-performance sessions.
Why it stands out
- One of the lightest and most travel-friendly Foil Assist platforms available
- Inflatable build massively reduces the intimidation factor for new riders and kids
- Intelligent shape: narrow, mid-length, fishtail and lots of volume, so it feels easy, not clumsy
- Tail battery-mount option is a smart, safety-focused touch that suits schools and rentals especially well
