Join usGrip 4 D/LAB is 100% tuned to the Quad fin setup - this configuration gives you maximum drive and grip for committed rail to rail turns, even in XXL waves.
All new design solutions add up to a noticeable weight reduction of 400-500g (depending on the board size) without compromising bombproof SLS durability: STRONG-LIGHT-SUPERIOR! The mini mast track reduces the weight in the critical nose area and the risk to misplace your mast base, while still providing just the right amount of length adjustment for all riding styles and sail sizes. All Grip boards are designed to work all around the globe - from groundswell Hookipa to onshore Pozo conditions. In addition, they simply work to their best right out of the box, just plug & shred.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GRIP D/LAB AND SLS?
SLS boards - made with Premium Sandwich Technology
D/LAB boards - made with Custom CNC Sandwich Technology, which is the identical technology used on high-end custom made boards.
This leads to the following differences:
WEIGHT: D/LAB boards are approx. 500g lighter than the SLS models. The major weight saving comes through the full custom technology. But it's also down to the smallest details like reduced foot strap plugs, reduced to max foot pads and super light water transfer stickers for the artwork.
STIFFNESS: For the D/LAB boards we use a higher carbon content which makes for a more direct riding sensation.
DENT RESISTANCE: As with most wave boards on the market, Duotone uses S-glass on the PVC sandwich for the SLS boards, while the D/LAB boards are equipped with a carbon-Innegra layer on the outside. Innegra is the best composite fibre to prevent dents. Dents caused by the mast touching the board (during catapults or when getting washed) are mainly an aesthetic issue. But if you want a board that stays dent-free, you should opt for the D/LAB version.
PRICE: Innegra is considerably more expensive than S-glass. And apart from the higher carbon content, Custom CNC is much more time and labor-intensive. Therefore SLS is cheaper than the D/LAB version.
Product highlights
Custom CNC Sandwich
Instead of using a mould to bring the EPS foam core into its final shape each EPS block gets CNC milled. This ensures maximum precision and saves weight
No-Compromise Quad Shape
Grip 4 shape is 100% tuned to the quad fin setup
World Cup Wave Designs
All Grip boards are designed to work all around the globe from groundswell Hookipa to onshore Pozo conditions.
Mini Mast Track And Slot Boxes
Weight saving plus maximum PLUG & PLAY through less options
Features
- PRO EVA PADS - 8-10 mm thick duo density EVA (depending on the board type) provides best dampening comfort and control. The heat pressed diamond grooving pattern protects the EVA against abrasion and provides an extraordinary grip level. Its colour resists dirt and sun-fading
- PREMIUM FOOTSTRAPS - High quality closed cell neoprene for maximum longevity. Only black Lycra coating guarantees maximum comfort as well as maximum durability. The strap features measurement markings to allow you to quickly set up and replicate your individual size
- OUTLINE - Approx. 6cm longer than the GRIP 3 with a very similar max. width. The narrower nose and swallow tail result in a more curved rail outline in the middle to balance the enormous grip of the 4 fins
- RAIL SHAPE - Thinned out rails towards the tail and nose for maximum drive
- DECK SHAPE - Reduced dome deck shape results in a more stable/balanced stance, especially in drift & ride conditions
- BOTTOM SHAPE - Progressive double concave V front to back: ideal compromise between performance, manoeuvrability and control
- ROCKER LINE - Slightly more nose and tail rocker. The tail rocker balances the enormous grip of the 4 fins
- MINI MAST-TRACK - Reduces the weight in the critical nose area. It also reduces the risk to misplace your mast base while still providing just the right amount of length adjustment for all riding styles and sail sizes
- FIN CONFIGURATION - Quad for maximum drive and grip
- MINI SIDE SLOT BOXES - No longer offer any adjustment to prevent misplacing your fins. Now all adjustability for different riding styles and sail sizes is done through the center fin(s) only - Plug & Play and lighter weight!
