Duotone Front Wing Whizz SLS 2025

Maintaining your Duotone Whizz SLS front wing

Carbon front wings last for many years with a little simple care. Rinse the wing in fresh water after every session in salt water - especially the screw holes and connection surfaces, where salt crystals can collect. Dry it with a soft cloth and let it dry completely before putting it away.

• Washing: Always rinse with cold, fresh water after use. Avoid spraying high pressure directly at the edges and screw holes, and never use harsh cleaning agents or scouring pads.
• Drying: Dry the wing in the shade or indoors. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators, as intense heat can affect the carbon and laminate.
• Storage: Store the wing dry in the included bag or a padded wing bag, lying flat or hanging at full length. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of it.
• Transport: Use a padded wing bag in the car and when traveling to prevent the edges from hitting hard surfaces.

Regularly check screws, threads, and connection surfaces for wear, and always tighten the screws evenly in a crisscross pattern to the torque recommended by the manufacturer. Check the wing for chips or cracks along the edge after sessions involving contact with the bottom - small areas of damage should be repaired right away to maintain strength and performance.

What is the Duotone Whizz SLS best for?

The wing is designed for prone and wake foiling and also works really well for wing foiling. Smaller sizes offer maximum maneuverability on the wave, while the larger ones are ideal for beginners, heavier riders, and light-wind conditions.

What sizes is the Whizz SLS available in?

The range is available in five sizes: 700, 850, 1000, 1200, and 1450. The larger the surface area, the more lift it provides at lower speeds.

Which size should I choose?

Choose a smaller size if you're light or experienced and want maximum maneuverability and a surfy feel. Choose a larger one if you're new to the sport, weigh more, or mainly ride in light swell and slowly moving flat water.

Which fuselage fits the Whizz SLS?

The wing fits Duotone Aero AL, AL 3BS, and Fanatic Carbon & AL fuselages. Duotone recommends the 66 cm ALU fuselage, positioned slightly forward in the tracks – 60 cm offers a more playful feel, while 74 cm gives you more control.

Do I need a specific rear wing?

Yes, the Whizz characteristics are best matched with Duotone's Stabilizer S series, which was developed specifically for the wing. The right stabilizer size depends on which front wing size you choose.

Does the full foil set come included?

No, only the front wing itself is included. The stabilizer, fuselage, and mast must be purchased separately if you're building a complete new setup.

How do I maintain the wing?

Rinse it with fresh water after use in salt water, dry it in the shade, and store it dry in a wing bag. Regularly check the screws and connection surfaces for wear.
