Duotone Unit D/LAB 4.0m Wing 2023 – Used | Excellent Condition

The Duotone Unit D/LAB remains one of the most influential wings ever released — and even with newer iterations on the market, it still absolutely stands out for riders who value ultra-light handling, instant response and wave-focused performance.

This 4.5m Unit D/LAB is an ex-demo display wing, meaning it has not been used on the water and remains in excellent condition. It has been inflated in-store and handled for display and comparison, but shows no structural wear, damage or performance compromise.

Why the Unit D/LAB Still Sets the Benchmark

The Unit D/LAB was Duotone’s first wing to fully exploit Aluula Gold across the leading edge and strut — and the result is still immediately obvious the moment you pick it up.

Compared to standard Dacron or even modern hybrid constructions, the Unit D/LAB delivers:

• Significantly lower swing weight

• Instant power delivery

• Exceptional drift and flagging ability

• A crisp, direct feel through the handles

For wave riders, downwind foilers and anyone riding powered but wanting a wing that disappears when flagged, the Unit D/LAB remains a reference point.

4.5m – The Sweet Spot Size

At 4.5m, this Unit D/LAB is right in the performance sweet spot:

• Ideal for stronger winds

• Perfect for wave riding and swell

• Excellent for lighter riders or advanced foilers who value control over brute pull

• A go-to size for UK coastal conditions, especially winter and shoulder-season sessions

The compact outline and tight canopy tension make it incredibly predictable when depowered, while the Aluula structure keeps it rigid and responsive when powered up.
