Duotone Skybrid D/LAB 2026
Item no. 42260-3615 · Colorway: C60 light-grey/turquoise
Overview
The Skybrid D/LAB 2026 pushes mid-length wing boards into ultra-light territory. Its premium Hollow Shell Composite build cuts weight dramatically for the lowest swing weight possible, giving you a near-prone feel with the stability and volume of a full-size shape. A longer, narrower outline accelerates early and glides effortlessly; the recessed standing area drops your stance closer to the foil for direct feedback. Extended carbon foil tracks provide a wide tuning window, while the refined tail and bevels keep touchdowns neutral and carves clean.
Key Features
- Hollow Shell Composite (D/LAB)—industry-leading weight reduction with high stiffness.
- Lowest swing weight—faster redirects and easier pump cadence.
- Mid-length efficiency—longer, narrower outline for glide and early lift.
- Recessed deck—lower center of gravity for locked-in control.
- Extended carbon tracks—broad fore-aft range to balance any foil/stance.
- Refined bevelled rails & tail—forgiving touchdowns and smooth release.
- Integrated air vent & drain—pressure management and easy care.
Who It’s For
Wing foilers seeking a premium, ultra-reactive board for light-wind freeride, dynamic freefly, small-wave cruising or downwind parawing. If you love the efficient feel of mid-lengths and want the snappiest handling, this is it.
Skybrid D/LAB vs Skybrid SLS
- D/LAB: hollow composite shell—over 30% lighter, lowest swing weight, most agile feel.
- SLS: Biax Carbon PVC Sandwich—light, durable, and great value with a slightly plusher ride.

Setup Tips
- Begin with the mast slightly forward in the tracks for earlier lift; move back for more speed and carve control.
- Pair with a mid/high-aspect front wing for glide; choose a shorter fuselage for tighter, surfy turns.
- Use front straps for pumped starts and consistency, or ride strapless for maximum freedom and micro-adjustments.
