Duotone have just released the brand new, Duke SLS and the ULTRA Freewave SLS. All the details from Duotone are below:
DUKE SLS
Imagine melting the jump n’ ride freemove qualities of the DUKE with the wave capabilities of the SUPER HERO D/LAB. Mission impossible you might say – but for us, this was the fundamental motivation behind the development of the brand-new DUKE SLS! The comeback of DUKE as a 5-batten Jump N’ Ride sail 2 years ago was a major success. It instantly became the most used and popular sail in the ION CLUB and DUOTONE PRO CENTERS worldwide. Now with the DUKE SLS we take this concept to the extreme! But instead of just swapping the materials, we have developed this sail from scratch to utilize the full potential of the materials and to give this sail an additional character.
DUKE SLS CHAMELEON CHARACTER
- On lower drag boards (e.g. Freewave or Freeride boards) the DUKE SLS has a slight forward pull (similar to the Original DUKE).
- On higher drag wave boards though the pull is evenly distributed onto both hands. On such boards the new DUKE SLS has a very similar feeling than the SUPER_HERO D/LAB making it really capable even for proper wave sailing conditions.

ULTRA FREEWAVE SLS / ULTRA FREEWAVE
Introducing the brand-new ULTRA FreeWave! Our main goal was to move away from the typical compromise of a do-it-all board. Instead of following the traditional path of designing an “easy-going” freemove board and then trying to blend in classic wave and freestyle characteristics, we started with a powerful new-school freestyle board. This foundation naturally resulted in maximum acceleration and control.
ULTRA ADAPTABLE:
- With the tri-fin setup, it delivers 70% of the GRIP 3 wave potential for top and bottom turns.
- In a single fin setup, it’s even more thrilling than its predecessor.
- Paired with a freestyle fin, the ULTRA FreeWave achieves 70% of the hardcore freestyle potential of the SKATE.
