Duotone Select SLS 2025

Maintaining your kiteboard

Rinse the board thoroughly with fresh water after every session to remove salt, sand, and dirt. Let it dry completely in the shade before putting it away - avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays break down both the finish and the materials over time.

Washing and cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge with fresh water. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, and high-pressure spray near fin holes and inserts.

Drying: Stand the board upright or lay it flat in the shade until the deck, bottom, and fins are completely dry. Always remove the fins and rinse their screws and inserts before reinstalling them.

Storage: Store the board in a cool, dry place, flat in a board bag or on a rack - not in a hot car, near heat sources, or under heavy objects. Regularly check the fins, screws, and grab handle for looseness or damage, and tighten as needed. Check the deck and bottom for deeper scratches after sessions, and repair any damage quickly to prevent water from entering the core.

What is the Duotone Select SLS best for?

The Select SLS is built as a performance freeride board for the ambitious kiter. It excels in light wind, with soft landings after big jumps, and in smooth carve turns.

Why might I need to choose a larger size than usual?

You’ll get the most out of the board’s innovative shape and flex by choosing a size larger than you normally would. Duotone itself recommends this so you can fully enjoy the board’s comfort and early planing.

What sizes is the Select SLS available in?

The board comes in several sizes, including 135 and 138. Choose based on your weight, skill level, and the wind conditions you typically ride in.

What does the Textreme Innegra construction do?

The construction makes the board significantly lighter and stronger without compromising comfort. This means higher jumps, easier spins, and less fatigue during long sessions.

What is Space Flex technology?

Space Flex provides excellent torsional flex, creating seamless, smooth carve turns. The large Space Flex windows in the tips also ensure early planing and a comfortable ride in choppy water.

Why does the board have an asymmetric deck?

The asymmetric deck focuses the flex properties on the heel side of the board. This gives you sharper edge grip, more pop, and better control in turns and maneuvers.

Are fins and a grab handle included?

Yes, the board comes with fins and a grab handle, so you can get on the water right away.

How do I maintain my Select SLS board?

Rinse the board with fresh water after every session, let it dry in the shade, and store it in a cool, dry place. Check the fins, screws, and grab handle regularly, and repair deeper scratches promptly to protect the core.
