Description:
Introducing the latest innovation in light wind Wing Foiling - the Ventis D/LAB ensures you are first out on the water. This new 3 strut design provides the ultimate in lift and power in light wind conditions. Premium Aluula material is used throughout the leading edge and struts. In combination with the sleek 3-strut design, this material provides a lightweight, rigid frame that offers unmatched performance in light wind conditions. The Ventis D/LAB delivers light, responsive and impressive lift that pulls you up and onto the foil without the need for excessive pumping. The rigid and responsive 3-strut Aluula frame, has allowed designer Ken Winner to reduce the wing tips, to minimize catching or dragging a wing tip, resulting in 7 and 8 meter wings that are user friendly and accessible even for smaller riders and those with less experience. The additional two struts have enhanced the performance and created a highly efficient canopy profile all the way to the tips, increasing lift and power throughout the entire surface area of the wing, with optimal canopy tension, flying stability, and de-power. Efficiency and performance in the lightest of winds are the driving forces behind the Ventis D/LAB, which is why we have coupled the Aluula leading edge and struts with our lightweight 50g ripstop canopy, with a focus on thread orientation in each panel to keep the large canopy area as light as possible while delivering the best response and performance. The Ventis D/LAB is equipped with a longer carbon front handle for effortless handling when riding one-handed. The center strut profile works in unison with the ergonomics of the handles, resulting in a more comfortable angle for your hands and a straighter back arm, for longer, more comfortable sessions on the water. The Ventis D/LAB offers the pinnacle of light wind wing performance, with unmatched weight, responsiveness, lift and power resulting in an experience that will totally transform your light wind sessions.

2024 Duotone Ventis D/Lab Wing - 7M
Tucker's recommendation on this was spot-on. In the past 7 days ---- in 6-13 knot winds ---- I've ridden 5 out of the 7 days ---- with tons of foil time. I also have a 7.5M Slingshot Javelin 1 which is a great wing, but at my ability level --- had I been using the 7.5M Javelin instead of the d-Lab 7M ---- I know my riding time would have been reduced by at least 80%. I view the 7M d-Lab as my secret weapon. I have a buddy at about the same riding/skill level as me ----- working on jibes ---- he bought a Duotone 7M Duotone Ventis (I'm 165#, he's 160#) ---- I've been riding those last 5 days ---- he's yet to get up once. The 7M Duotone Ventis d-Lab has been a true miracle machine for me. Could not say enough good things about it.

2024 Duotone Ventis d/LAB Wing 8.0M
It's winter time and I haven't been out on this wing yet, but it looks amazing and I can't wait. This review is really about dealing with MacKite folks. They are knowledgeable and easy to do business with. I've made quite a few purchases from them and the one time there was a problem, they fixed it immediately.. This is my first stop always in purchasing gear. I love their videos and find them to be spot on.
