NEW DUOTONE WARP_FIN & FALCON_FIN D/LAB

With fin racing making a strong return to the PWA calendar this season, Duotone has stepped up with major upgrades to their racing program. The brand has just unveiled the all-new Warp_Fin and Falcon_Fin D/LAB sails and boards…engineered and designed for maximum speed, precision and performance.

WARP_FIN

IN BRIEF:

The WARP_FIN, inspired by an 8-time Slalom World Champion design, has been upgraded with new sizes, including a 6.2 option, and several technical improvements. Unlike most racing sails, it is race-ready straight out of the bag, requiring minimal tuning thanks to clear rigging markers. Combining lightweight construction with durability, the sail is designed to last beyond one season. Its high aspect ratio, shortened boom, and forward-shifted profile reduce sailing weight and maximize control in strong winds. The Hyper.Cam 2.0 system allows easy camber adjustments without spacers, even while rigged. New refinements, such as a raised clew eyelet, shorter boom with increased cutaway, stiffer battens, and optimized volume distribution, enhance handling, control, and acceleration. The WARP_FIN delivers exceptional planing power, acceleration, stability, and responsiveness, making it the best choice for slalom and speed sailing.

WARP_FIN

Based on the 8 times Slalom World Champion title winning machine the WARP_FIN has undergone some substantial improvements including new sizing and the addition of a 6.2 size.

Apart from that the WARP_FIN features some truly unique features and advantages:

Ready To Race Right Out Of The Bag

Unlike most other slalom racing sails the WARP_FIN does not need any time-consuming fine tuning. Even with our slalom racing sails our aim it that you just take your sail out of the bag, rig it according to the visual markers, and you can be assured to have the performance than our racing team.

Light Done Right

We all love minimal weight. But apart from being one of the lightest fin racing sails, it‘s a well-known fact that our sails aren’t just made to last just one season. Instead, the WARP_FIN can even be brought to a second-hand life.

Focus On The Course And Tactics And Not The Sail

The more pronounced High Aspect Ratio design, especially in the larger sizes, with a shortened boom length and a forward-shifted profile results in the WARP_FIN featuring maybe the lowest sailing weight of all racing sails. It simply requires less power, is lighter in the hands and offers more control at the upper wind limit. This way you can full focus on the course, but also to be able to sail for many hours in a row to win at the end of the week.

Hyper.Cam 2.0

This camber plays in a totally different league than anyone else. Everyone knows it is utmost essential to have the absolute perfect camber tension to ensure a race winning performance. The HPER CAM 2.0 is the only camber which does not require any spacers to find the ideal tension. Instead, you adjust the length of the cams via a small screw.

This can easily be done even on a fully rigged sail. So, you are not just looking for the theoretically fastest fin racing sail. But instead a sail which is ready to race out of the bag and can be fine tuned within seconds rather than days. And offers the lowest sailing weight without sacrificing durability. Well then there is no alternative to the WARP_FIN as it is the only fin racing sail out there ticking all the boxes!

But that’s not all – here is what’s new

Clew eyelet moved up

Faster response from the sail

Shorter Boom with increased Cutaway Clew

Gives the sail a better release and gives the rider more control in choppy conditions and easier handling and gybing

Different Volume distribution

Better connection with the board which gives the rider more board-control

Stiffer battens @ batten no. 2, 3 and 4

More direct feedback and acceleration

New sizes across the entire range

Additional size in the smaller range (6.2)

Ensures the perfect setup for speed sailing or events like Defi Wind. Still offers perfect steps for the SlalomX discipline with: 5.7, 6.7, 7.7.

Benefits:

✓ greater planing power & acceleration ✓ ideal mix of

maximum power & forward pull without loosing stability

✓ benchmark rotation

So you are not just looking for the theoretically fastest fin racing sail. But instead a sail which is ready to race out of the bag and can be fine tuned within seconds rather than days. And offers the lowest sailing weight without sacrificing durability. Well then there is no alternative to the WARP_FIN as it is the only fin racing sail out there ticking all the boxes.

FALCON_FIN D/LAB

IN BRIEF

PWA Fin Racing is back and we come with the biggest update to our entire racing program in over 10 years! Thanks to our exclusive AI_BOARD_3D software, every size has been reworked to synchronize rocker, outline, and rail curves with artificial intelligence, eliminating conflicting design elements. Key innovations include higher rails for maintaining perfect trim, a completely redesigned tail for improved release, shorter lengths for reduced nose lift and incredible control, and an updated recessed mast track for maximum efficiency between sail and board. The medium board has been enlarged to 118 for added power, while a new 124 (76 cm wide) size joins the lineup. Proven racing shapes and full custom sandwich technology complete this ground breaking package.

FALCON_FIN D/LAB

PWA Fin Racing is back and we have an unbeatable package for you!

2026 marks the biggest update to our entire racing program (boards and sails) in over 10 years!

In addition to our industry-leading FULL CUSTOM TECHNOLOGY all shapes have been reworked over the last 2 years using our exclusive AI_BOARD_3D software.

The result is simply mind-blowing.

This already starts before hitting the water. Simply lift the board and you will be shocked how light it is. Then knock on the hull and you immediately realize how stiff the board is. Compare it with a typical semi-custom production board and the difference is imminent.

But wait until you put the board onto the water. Our last years boards had already proven to be one of the fastest but these boards are on a different level. Besides all new shapes the secret of this performance jump is our new AI_BOARD_3D software. The curves of the key elements rocker, outline and rail get synchronized to perfection using artificial intelligence to avoid that the curves work against each other. When starting we had tested this on the existing FALCON_FIN boards. Even though the human eye couldn‘t tell the difference between the boards, the difference on the water was overwhelming, as the AI-optimized boards showed a performance increase of a good 10%.

AI_BOARD_3D For the first time ever, all board sizes offer the same level of performance. Higher rails Make it very easy to maintain the perfect trim. Completely redesigned tail Provides more release and keeps the board accelerating. Shorter in every size Less nose lift and incredible control. Updated RECESSED MAST TRACK AREA Maximum efficiency between sail and board.
