DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Performance and ride feel
The Unit D/LAB stands out for its direct power and instant responsiveness. On the water you feel a crisp on/off that makes power-ups after a turn and quick maneuvers easier. This connected feel makes transitions safer and lets you focus on your riding, whether you are looking to jump, downwind or surf a wave.
Stability and control in waves
The drift stability and precise control are designed for surf and downwind. The deeper canopy at the quarter of the wingspan calms the luffing and gives a light, balanced lift during maneuvers, which helps you stay in control when surfing or on committed sections.
Construction and reduced weight
The Aluula Gold Leading Edge and center strut cut the overall weight and increase responsiveness. Combined with the MOD3 S canopy, the construction brings stiffness, durability and direct feel without making the wing heavy in your hands.
Adaptability and ergonomics
You can set the wing up with the Fusion boom or go for the handles, depending on your style. The reduced leading edge diameter and the compact outline help top speed and lively handling, which is handy when you switch between freeride, freestyle and wave sessions.
Who it is for and when to use it
We recommend the Unit D/LAB to intermediate to advanced riders who are after performance and control. It thrives across a wide range of conditions and helps you progress thanks to its precise feedback and its drift stability.
Finish and longevity
The premium materials and the MOD3 S canopy ensure good durability session after session. The finish and the care given to the attachment points reflect a design focused on longevity and reliability.
