DUOTONE Kiteboard twintip Select SLS 2023

• Sizes: 135 / 138 / 141 / 144
• Discipline: High Performance Freeride

The Select SLS is at the pinnacle of performance for freeride twin tips, the comfortable high-tech construction ensures you get an engaging and responsive ride on the water, and the modern new shape will excite you on every turn and jump.

For 2023, the outline has been reworked, keeping the same width of the boards, but making them 3cm longer. For example, if you used to ride a 135/40, this year you’d go for a 138/40. This extra length cuts through the chop and gives a smooth ride, while the reduced width makes it even easier to edge, lets the board fly upwind and is easy to load up when you pop for big air. The Select SLS uses a Carbon Biax and Textreme Innegra construction, making it light and strong. It delivers a dynamic ride, and you will feel totally connected to the board. The low weight makes it easier to jump and spin and improves the early planing characteristics too. Regarding speed, the Select SLS is absolutely at the top, combining speed with the best Freeride performance you could imagine. If you like carving, even want a twintip for shredding some small waves, the Select SLS has the outline and shape to help you chuck buckets of spray. Space Flex is making the board light in the tips, making those slightly longer shapes still very playful and rotations easier. The Select SLS, the ultimate freeride board in a sea of imitations.

Tech features

NEW OUTLINE

The new shape gives you even more comfort on the water and a smoother ride through chop. In addition, the low end is improved, and andings are smoother too. The new shape means you need to choose a slightly longer board to get the improved performance (If you rode a 38/41 last year, you’d prefer a 141/41 this year).

SPACE FLEX TECHNOLOGY

Space Flex adapts to the water´s surface and enhances all turning characteristics. Stiff outside frame coupled with the soft tips creates smooth water release and early planing. Reduction in swing weight facilitates easier tricks and faster rotations.

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.

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.

GRAB RAILS

Grab Rails for easier board off manoeuvres and comfortable general riding.

MEDIUM FLEX

The Medium Flex boards combine competition performance with every day comfort. Precise adjusted materials offer control, power and comfort in just the right way to feel good in every possible riding condition.

STEP MONO CONCAVE

The Step Mono Concave is the fastest and easiest to ride bottom concepts. It can be carved easily through turns and always delivers the right grip. It planes early, allows smaller fins and helps to go upwind with ease.
