Description

Featuring the same stall-friendly profile concept as the highly acclaimed Crest D/LAB, the Glide 3.0 combines effortless low-end lift with a huge usable speed range. This refined profile not only makes it easier than ever to stay on foil in minimal energy conditions, but also improves pumping efficiency and reduces rider fatigue, allowing for longer and more efficient glide phases. Delivering smooth, predictable power, it performs across multiple disciplines - from winging and prone to parawing and downwind, where the Glide truly excels. — The introduction of a moustache-style curvature with upturned wingtips transforms the handling characteristics, providing a much looser and more playful roll response compared to the Glide 2.0. This not only improves maneuverability in turns but also allows for controlled breaching of the tips without losing stability. — Optimized chord distribution further maximises efficiency and glide, making the Glide 3.0 D/LAB a versatile high-performance foil across multiple disciplines. Whether pumping, carving waves, or linking long glides, it delivers an efficient, responsive, and playful ride in any condition.

Key features

  • Confident Breaching

    Upturned wing tips allow controlled tip breaches and smooth recoveries without disrupting flow or stability.

  • Maximum Glide Efficiency

    The increased aspect ratio of around 12 improves lift-to-drag efficiency, allowing the rider to downsize (compared to Glide 2.0), while extending glide phases and reducing rider effort.

  • New Profile

    The Crest-inspired profile delivers excellent lift, easier pumping, and reduced fatigue during long sessions.

  • Optimized High Aspect Design

    Combining efficient pumping and extended glide with a surprisingly agile and dynamic riding feel.

  • Pitch-Stable Performance

    The 3BS+ connection with an additional 4th screw increases pitch stability and control across the entire speed range.

  • Playful Turning

    The new moustache curvature with upturned tips creates a looser roll response and significantly improves maneuverability compared to the previous generation.
