Duotone Carve 3.0 SLS Foil Front Wing

The Duotone Carve 3.0 SLS is a responsive carbon front wing for riders who enjoy linking turns, riding waves and taking their freestyle further. Compared with the previous Carve SLS, its revised shape improves pump-and-glide efficiency, speed through wave sections and pitch control. Four sizes let you balance quick turning with earlier lift.

Why choose the Carve 3.0 SLS?

• Quick rail-to-rail turning: a lively, direct feel for carving and changing direction in waves.
• Better forward drive: improved pumping and glide help preserve speed between wave sections.
• More composed at speed: refined pitch stability makes powerful turns and fast runs easier to control.
• Freestyle response: predictable pop for progressive jumps and aerial manoeuvres.
• Refined carbon construction: a light, stiff and strong lay-up with profiles tailored to each size.

Who is it for?

The Carve 3.0 SLS suits progressing and experienced wing foilers who put manoeuvrability and surfing response first. Duotone also develops it for prone surf, freestyle and kite foiling. It is especially relevant if your current foil feels reluctant to turn or loses momentum between waves. Complete beginners, or riders seeking maximum long-distance glide rather than tight carving, may be better served by a more forgiving or higher-glide design.

Features that matter

Turning without sacrificing flow

The updated profile and curvature give the foil a quick response to rider input while maintaining drive through the turn. That matters when you need to redirect sharply and continue along a wave instead of having to rebuild speed after every carve.

Improved pumping and pitch control

Compared with the earlier Carve SLS, Duotone has worked on efficient pumping, longer glide and greater pitch stability. These changes help the wing carry momentum across flatter sections and feel more settled at higher speed.

Size-specific carbon design

Rather than simply scaling one foil shape up and down, Duotone adjusts the profile and curvature for each size. Its carbon lay-up balances low weight, rigidity and durability, giving a direct response when loading the foil through turns and jumps.

Available sizes and setup guidance

800: the most compact and manoeuvrable size in this range, suited to experienced riders prioritising rapid turns and higher speeds. 950: a lively middle option for riders wanting a surf-orientated feel with useful versatility. 1100: a balance of lift, carving and glide for a wider range of conditions. 1300: the largest option, with more lift for heavier riders, lower speeds or lighter conditions. Actual suitability depends on rider weight, board, skill and conditions.

What's included?

This product is the Carve 3.0 SLS front wing only, not a complete foil or wing-and-stabiliser set. You will need a compatible fuselage, stabiliser and mast to build a complete foil. Confirm required mounting screws and other accessories for your existing setup before ordering.

Compatibility and setup

Duotone confirms compatibility with its Aero AL and Aero AL 3BS fuselages. It recommends the PX stabiliser range, with the pairing dependent on front-wing size as shown above. This is the separate-mounting SLS front wing, not the Carve D/LAB integrated front-wing/fuselage system; do not assume D/LAB tail components interchange. Check the particular fuselage, mast and hardware generation before mixing parts.

Frequently asked questions

What has changed from the previous Carve SLS?

The 3.0 has revised size-specific profiles and curvatures, with improved pumping, glide, wave speed, turning response and pitch stability.

Which Carve 3.0 SLS should I choose?

Go smaller for a more reactive, speed-focused ride and larger for more lift at lower speeds. The right size also depends on your weight, experience, board and typical wind or wave conditions.

Does the front wing include a PX rear stabiliser?

No. This listing is for the front wing only. If you need both wings, choose a correctly matched wing set instead.

Can I fit it to an Aero AL fuselage?

Yes. Duotone lists Aero AL and AL 3BS fuselages as compatible; check the specific assembly hardware before fitting.

Is this the same as the Carve 3.0 D/LAB?

No. The Carve 3.0 SLS is a separate front wing for the compatible Aero fuselage system. The D/LAB version has a different construction and connection design.
