Description

Sharing the same design DNA as the D/LAB version, the Glide 3.0 SLS features an increased aspect ratio of around 12, delivering outstanding pump and glide while maintaining a playful and agile riding feel. — — 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 improves pumping efficiency and reduces rider fatigue, making it easier to stay on foil in minimal energy conditions and extend glide phases, allowing the rider to downsize. Delivering smooth, predictable power, it performs across multiple disciplines—from winging and prone to parawing and downwind, where the Glide truly excels. — The moustache-style curvature with upturned wingtips provides a loose and dynamic roll response, significantly enhancing maneuverability while allowing controlled breaching without loss of stability. — — Optimized chord distribution maximizes efficiency and glide, making the Glide 3.0 SLS a versatile high-performance foil across a wide range of conditions. Especially in the larger sizes, it unlocks exceptional low-end capabilities, enabling downwind and parawing runs even on the smallest bumps—opening entirely new possibilities, including sessions on lakes and inland waters.

Key features

  • Versatile Performance

    Blending exceptional glide, efficient pumping, and surprisingly agile handling in one versatile high-aspect foil.

  • Playful Turning

    The moustache curvature with upturned tips creates a loose roll response and significantly enhances maneuverability.

  • Maximum Glide Efficiency

    The increased aspect ratio of around 12 delivers significantly improved pump and glide while maintaining a playful and dynamic riding feel - allowing the rider to downsize in foil choice (compared to Glide 2.0)

  • Exceptional Low-End Performance

    The expanded size range, especially in the larger sizes, unlocks outstanding early lift and performance in minimal-energy conditions.

  • Easy Power & Pump

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

  • Confident Breaching Control

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