With the new Duotone Unit 2023 the new MOD3 fabric and a new canopy changes everything! The latest edition Unit offers more power, better hangtime and improved drift stability.
From the first pump, you’ll notice the additional power MOD3 brings to the wing. With responsive handling through the rigid handles. The 2023 Unit gets you up in flight mode sooner, with an improved grunt and low end allowing you to use smaller-sized wings.
The higher modulus MOD3 fabric holds the shape of the wing with double the strength in warp direction and 3 times* the stretch resistance in bias direction compared to traditional canopies.
The small gain in weight becomes secondary once you feel the power, draft stability, and wide range of the new Unit. MOD3 remains fresh like its day one and significantly improves the tear resistance and canopy strength.
But it’s not only the canopy that makes the 2023 Unit Duotone's best wing to date. They have optimized the dihedral angle, as well as the tip and strut twist for better drift stability when surfing or flying through basic maneuvers. The extra lift and power deliver more hang time when jumping.
The stronger front handle with better stand-off is another detail that improves the surfing characteristics of the Unit range.
The lightweight rigid handles have become a benchmark in wing design for their direct steering and power transfer allowing the rider quick adjustments through its grip range combined with pump-and-go simplicity and minimal packing size.
Whether you love drawing flowing lines in the surf and open ocean swells, lift and hang time in tacks and jumps or simply like riding with extra horsepower in your engine, the 2023 Unit is yet again another step ahead of the pack!
The whole setup is designed for super easy rigging: just inflate and go, that’s it. It also packs down small and is perfect for taking on adventures.
Available in sizes 2.0m, 2.5m, 3.0m, 3.5m, 4.0m, 4.5m, 5.0m, 5.5m, 6.0m and 6.5m.
Stiff Front Handle:
Neutral and effortless while surfing on the front handle with improved drift stability.
Wing Geometry Unit:
Tight canopy tension and finely tuned wingspan for powerful and direct power delivery, better drift stability, more lift and extra hang time.
Windows:
Optimized window layout for safety and comfort with a reduction in weight.
Rigid Handles:
Unique lightweight stronger front handle design with better stand-off. The handles offers boom-like comfort and control with direct steering and a grip range of 26cm per handle.
Mini Battens:
One small batten per side reduces flutter and drag to a minimum and support upwind ability and top end performance.
Packing Size:
The Unit 23 is easy and fast to set up and packs down small, which makes it the perfect travel companion. The backpack makes packing and carrying your Unit as easy as it gets and stores your wing in style.
The combined tension of the handles, battens and inflatable leading edge also fixes the geometry of the Foil Wing in a 'wing up' formation. This dihedral design helps keep the wing tips out of the water as well as provide a stable flight, particularly when transitioned above your head for tacking upwind and gybing downwind. The leading edge only requires just 6 PSI of air to inflate fully.
*Coiled Wrist Leash sold separately.
