DUOTONE Kite twintip board Team Series SLS 2022

• Sizes: 139 x 42 / 142 x 43
• Discipline: Competition Freestyle / Wakestyle

For the most discerning freestylers on the planet, the Team Series SLS is there for you. Lighter, faster and with even more pop than before, this is the board to ride if you want to see your riding progress. Utilizing the most advanced construction techniques in the industry with some of the most high-end materials, the overall weight of the board has been reduced. It’s not just about weight though, these new materials improve the ride on the water, creating a more responsive and dynamic ride underfoot. If you want to fly higher, go faster and land more tricks than you thought possible, the Team Series SLS is the board for you. On the water, you’ll discover incredible grip and fantastic upwind ability. As you launch into your tricks, the pop will excite you, and as you rotate, you’ll feel like you can spin forever with the low swing weight giving total control. Spot your landing, and the single diffusor base breaks the surface tension in a smooth and controlled manner. The lack of reverse flex means no matter how hard you stomp the landings, you’ll be rewarded with the same predictable feedback from the board every time. If freestyle is your passion, then the Team Series SLS will become your love affair on the water!

Key features

• Minimum reverse flex thanks to new Suspension Flex Cap - The minimum reverse flex ensures landings with absolute control, without bending in negative direction.
• Single diffusor bottom with Grind Base - The guarantee for massive pop and absolute controlled landings. The single diffusor bottom can deliver massive grip and is offering a robust grind base for even more durability.
• Maximum durability thanks to Grind Base - The durable Grind Base enhances durability to a maximum, even when used hard.
• Textreme Innegra and 45° biax carbon - The Textreme Innegra and 45° biax carbon construction massively improves the board´s performance. It results in a fast and progressive flex for better pop with reduced weight.
• Hard flex - The most aggressive flex and an incredible pop. Hard flex generates dynamic power development when jumping and more stiffness for better control on hard landings.
• Deep Tip Channels - Lots of grip to help take off and upwind ensured by the Deep Tip Channels.

Technical features

INNEGRA SLS TWINTIPS

Due to Innegra, SLS Twintips are very light, incredible durable, noticeable smoother and more responsive than any other Twintip. Added performance and durability without adding weight, the lightweight fibre Innegra makes it possible! All SLS boards offer incredible dampening performance, are absolutely smooth in chop, allowing a cleaner edging and resulting in less knee and back fatigue. SLS Twintips are equipped with very controlled and explosive pop due to less vibration compared to normal carbon boards.

SUSPENSION FLEX CAP

The brand-new suspension Flex Cap makes it possible to create a very stiff center of the board, whilst keeping a lot of torsional stiffness through a stiff frame at the tips of the board. Pop and control is guaranteed, whilst energy during landings is absorbed by the board – and not your knees. Additionally it is possible to have a flatter center, resulting in your boots sitting flatter on the board, offering that little extra bit of even more control. But the main and most important news is: reverse flex during landings is nearly eliminated.

TORSION FLEX

The special shape of the 3D cap allows torsion of the long axis of the board. This gives them more grip on the heel-side edge, rich and smooth landings, a direct drive and better upwind performance. Invented by Duotone.

HARD FLEX

The Hard Flex option features the most aggressive flex and pop in Duotones range. Boards with Hard Flex have more dynamic power development when jumping, more stiffness for better control on ultra-hard landings and a unique pop to always be one step ahead of your competitors.

PREMIUM PERFORMANCE CONSTRUCTION

The most sophisticated construction in the line is developed especially for the TS Hadlow and the Team Series boards. It’s the most durable construction in the line, showing the peak of board development. A 45 degrees bi carbon layer under the foot pad area ensures a very smooth but comfortable flex and also provides the board with maximum durability. This construction is developed for competition oriented riders by the best riders of the world, focusing on massive grip and pop – even without fins!

STEP DOUBLE CONCAVE WIDE CHANNEL

The Step Double Concave is the reason the Team Series is able to deliver massive grip – with or without fins, to meet the expectations of team riders competing in the World Tour, as well as ambitious freestylers. The deep concaves provide massive grip and pop.

SINGLE DIFFUSOR BOTTOM

The brand new Single Diffusor bottom, is supporting the riding style with boots, offering loads of grip combined with smooth, fast, but controlled landings. For smooth landings, the center concave pushes water directly into the tip channel.

ABSORPTION FLEX TIPS

Based on a unique new construction of the board in the tip area, the scoop rocker line ensures better response to changing situations. In underpowered riding, the board remains flat for fast planing. In overpowered riding, the scoop bends and provides for an increased level of control and stability. The flex tips absorb shocks and enable soft landings.
