🔥 Click HERE to shop Duotone GEAR! 😃🤙🏽 https://www.mackiteboarding.com/duoto... The 2026 Duotone Float SLS is here, and in this first ride review, we break down what’s new, what’s improved, and who this wave-focused wing is really for. Jeff and Tucker dive into the updated Float SLS after time on the water, highlighting key performance upgrades, including improved upwind drive, increased low-end power, and a noticeably stiffer, snappier feel. This is still a dedicated wave wing at its core, but for 2026, Duotone has pushed it closer into all-around territory without losing that signature drift and lightweight handling. If you’ve ridden the previous Float, this version feels like it’s been put into “sport mode”—more responsive, more efficient, and more fun when you're not strictly riding waves. What we cover in this video: First impressions of the 2026 Float SLS Upwind performance vs previous model Low-end power and high-end range SLS construction upgrades and feel Wave riding performance and drift Boom setup and handling benefits Who should consider the SLS upgrade Downsides including valve and inflation system The Float has always been about effortless wave riding—but now it adds real drive, speed, and versatility. If you’re looking for a wave wing that doesn’t feel limited outside the surf, this might be one of the most compelling options for 2026. #wingfoil #duotonefloat #mackite Thanks for sharing the stoke with us here at MACkiteboarding! 🤙🏽 Whether you're into kiteboarding, wing foiling, or just dreaming of your next session, we're stoked to have you along for the ride.
