Duotone Super_Hero D/LAB 2026

The SUPER_HERO D/LAB is the greatest advancement in a wave sail in our history, rightfully bearing the D/LAB mark. For us, D/LAB stands for the highest technical achievement, offering a glimpse into what’s to come.

Three things set the SUPER_HERO D/LAB apart from any other sail out there:

1.       Unmatched wind range

It sounds unbelievable but it’s true: the wind range is extended in both directions, meaning it starts planing earlier while giving you more top-level control. To give you a clearer picture, a typical set for the Original SUPER_HERO is 5.3 – 4.7 – 4.2. With the SUPER_HERO D/LAB, though, you can go 5.0 – 4.2 and cover the same range!

2.       Feather-light ON THE WATER

The actual weight is only one side of the story. As always, the real truth shows on the water. The sailing weight describes how light the sail feels in your hands while sailing. It’s a mix of the actual weight but more importantly the sail’s behaviour. That’s why we focus only on the so-called sailing weight. A responsive and lively sail feels lighter in your hands. On the other hand, a soft, spongy sail feels heavier in your hands, “eating up” much of the physical weight advantage.

Technora/Dyneema and Kevlar have high tear strength but aren’t very stiff (only about as stiff as Polyester monofilm). So, when their thickness is reduced to save weight (in membrane and laminated or composite sails), these sails tend to become quite soft and dull to ride. This softness leads to a less efficient sail with a narrower wind range (especially when overpowered).

Carbon, however, is about 3-4 times stiffer than Technora/Dyneema and Kevlar. Using our INTELLIGENT CARBON XPLY CONSTRUCTION, we’ve found the perfect balance. The CARBON XPLY in the high-stress clew, top, and tack areas guarantees unmatched low stretch and power transfer. Meanwhile, the slightly more flexible regular XPly in the body prevents the power from becoming uncontrollable. This makes the SUPER_HERO D/LAB extremely responsive and lively. Combined with the very low actual weight, this results in the lowest possible sailing weight. No sail feels lighter in your hands than the SUPER_HERO D/LAB!

3.       Feather-light without giving up durability

The easy and common way to cut weight is by thinning the film/laminate. Unfortunately, thinning the film has a disproportionate effect on wear resistance and overall lifespan. That’s why simply cutting the skin thickness to reduce weight has never been an option for us – because all our products are designed and built according to our motto “LIGHT DONE RIGHT.”

For the SUPER_HERO D/LAB, we use the same film/laminate thickness as on our tough-as-nails Original SUPER_HERO. The fusion bonding joining the panels is much stronger than traditional sewing (in fact, the fusion bonding is even stronger than the materials themselves). Hard to believe, but experience shows the SUPER_HERO D/LAB is even stronger than the Original SUPER_HERO. We back this up with our industry-leading 5 YEAR WARRANTY, something no other brand can offer.

Using the SUPER_HERO D/LAB for the first time feels like your body becomes one with the sail and you’re truly connected to the waves. The lightning-fast reflexes without any loss of control are a real game changer, so much so that all of our Pro Team will be using the SUPER_HERO D/LAB.

Please note: after heavy UV exposure, the fusion bonding may develop a yellowish tint. Extensive lab and water tests confirm this is purely cosmetic and does not affect the mechanical properties or strength. That’s why this is not covered by the warranty.
