I echo your experiences... i was extremely close to purchasing a D/LAB wing but thankfully ended up with the Core Halo. This is 100% worth the investment when you have already got some basics down and are ready to push the envelope in waves and light wind. I tried a lot of different equipment (Duotone wings, but not the D/LAB) & definitely think the bar is a must for me in waves.... being able to wing with one hand is really an advantage in waves and light wind & ALuuLa is an amazing material. I'm really happy to see it being utilized across all brands.

Thank you for your comment! My local Duotone is going to let me try 4, 5 and 6M 2024 D-LABS, once I get to compare the 2024 models will do another side-by-side review. Thanks for watching!

Hi I’m currently winging ma1225, ha 1125 and ha925 (kitefoil and higher winds) 155 pounds. Wonderful review! Are you able to comment how the 880 is compared to ha1125 and ma1225? Wondering if I can just get the 880 or if 980 better. Winds mostly 12-25mph.

Thank you for your comment! I've only tried MA1000 from the MA series, so won't be able to compare the 1225. However, with certainty can tell you that HA880 for your weight can be your go-to foil for light wind days. I got the HA780 and use it for anything 10+ kts. I believe the HA980 would be too large for your weight. Hope this helps and thank you again!

Hi, thanks for the review. What is the material of the canopy of the core? Is it something durable like the Mode3 of Duotone or something else?
@andreannovakov9410

Thank you! The CORE canopy material is very similar to the 2023 D-LAB canopy, seems to have similar thickness and weight. The wing itself (as a whole) is lighter than the D-LAB.

@@andreannovakov9410 Thank you for your prompt response. I'm curious about the canopy, particularly because models such as the F-One V2 and the Unit 2022, even those equipped with the Aluula frame, sold out quickly. Starting with the Mod3 in Units or the HiTex with the Strike V3, the canopy has become more durable and lasts longer.

@@buenacloud I can't speak to CORE durability yet as I had the wing for about a month. What I can tell you for sure is that 2023 Duotone D-LAB canopy is extremely durable. It took a full-force foil impact to puncture the canopy. I've had many cases where my entire body falls on to the Unit, the wing is perfectly fine. '23 D-LABs are very, very durable

@@andreannovakov9410 Yes, I switched to Unit '24 last year, and although they may be slightly heavier than the Strikes, for example, they are definitely more durable. The new Takoon VX is also said to be more durable. I asked about the canopy material with Takoon, but they didn't provide a specific answer, only stating that it is more durable than the Unit's.

Very interesting review, What’s your weight?

I am about 70kg at the moment. If I am using my downwind board, Core Halo can get me up on 9+ kts, if on my sinker need 12+ kts. Hope this helps and thank you!

how does this wing compares to the Core XC? I'm debating if the investment in material is worth it

I haven't tried Core XC so I couldn't answer that question. However, I recently tried 2024 Duotone Unit D-Lab and it felt closer to the Core Halo, more balanced and lower end power. I still believe Core Halo Pro has more grunt and is lighter. In all cases I would recommend any Aluula wing before regular dacron. Hope this helps and thank you!
