Crest D/LAB
Duotone's wave and prone foiling wing in D/LAB construction, also suited to carving under a wing and to foil assist. Efficient pumping, good glide and a forgiving stall speed connect waves, and the upturned tips let it re-enter cleanly from breaches, airs and slides. Compatible with the D/LAB tails, S and PX stabilizers and the monobloc tails.
