2020 Duotone Foil Wing Boom

The 2020 Duotone Foil Wing Boom is a rigid aluminum boom designed as an accessory for Duotone's first-generation Echo Foil Wing. Sold separately from the wing itself, the boom attaches to the Echo's canopy and provides a continuous gripping surface along the underside of the wing, replacing the fixed-handle approach used by many early wing foiling designs. Duotone introduced this boom alongside the Echo as part of its initial entry into the wing foiling category, drawing on the brand's longstanding experience in windsurfing boom construction. The boom features an oval cross-section profile intended to improve grip ergonomics and structural stiffness compared to a round tube.

Because the boom allows unrestricted hand placement along its length, riders can shift their grip fore and aft to adjust power delivery and leverage without repositioning their body. This adjustable-length design telescopes to fit multiple Echo wing sizes within a single boom, reducing the need to purchase separate booms for each wing in a quiver.

• Material: Aluminum
• Grip shape: Oval cross-section
• Size (this variant): 115–175 cm adjustable length
• Compatible wing sizes: Duotone Echo 3.3 m, 4 m, 5 m (per Duotone sizing chart)
• Other available size: 141–201 cm (fits Echo 4 m, 5 m, 6 m, 7 m)
• MSRP: $129.95

This boom suits riders who already own or are purchasing a 2020 Duotone Echo Foil Wing in the smaller size range (3.3 m to 5 m) and need a replacement boom or a spare. It is designed exclusively for the Echo wing's attachment system, so compatibility with wings from other brands or later Duotone wing models should not be assumed.

Because the boom-style grip was Duotone's answer to the early wing foiling question of handle placement, it appeals to riders coming from a windsurfing background who are accustomed to boom ergonomics. Intermediate and advancing riders benefit most from the variable hand positioning, which allows finer sheeting control and more balanced arm loading during longer sessions. Beginners learning on the Echo will also find the continuous grip forgiving, since there is no need to fumble for a specific handle position while managing the foil.

The 2020 Foil Wing Boom sits in Duotone's first-generation wing foiling accessory lineup, branded under the "Silver Series." It was sold alongside the original Echo Foil Wing, which was one of the earliest production wing foiling wings on the market. Duotone has since moved to newer wing designs—including the Echo and Unit lines with updated handle and boom systems—making this 2020 boom a legacy component tied specifically to the first Echo platform.

The 115–175 cm variant covers the smaller end of the Echo quiver, while the larger 141–201 cm boom handles mid-to-large sizes with some overlap at the 4 m and 5 m wings. At its current clearance price, the boom represents a low-cost entry point for riders picking up a used 2020 Echo or needing a backup boom for one already in their quiver. Comparable early booms from other brands, such as the Slingshot boom for the first Slingwing, followed a similar telescoping aluminum design.
