Duotone Super_Hero SLS 2024

Maintaining your windsurf sail

Rinsing: Rinse the sail with fresh water after use in salt water, and let it dry completely before packing it away. Avoid high pressure and stiff brushes, as these can damage the film and seams.

Drying: Dry the sail in the shade or a shaded area - never in direct sunlight, as UV radiation breaks down the material over time. Hang it loosely or lay it flat to prevent damage to the material.

Rolling: Roll the sail loosely from the masthead down so the battens aren't put under unnecessary strain. Remove sand and dirt from the pockets and slides before rolling it up.

Storage: Store the sail somewhere dry, clean and cool - preferably rolled up and lying down or standing in its sail bag. Avoid heat sources, car trunks in strong sunlight and damp rooms, as these significantly shorten its lifespan.

General: Check the seams, reinforcements and corners regularly for wear, and repair minor damage right away so it doesn't get worse. That'll keep your sail in top shape for many seasons.

What is Duotone Super_Hero SLS 2024?

It is Duotone’s high-end wave sail and the first sail ever to feature the groundbreaking Monocoque Fusion Body construction, which eliminates all sewn panels. Developed over four years, it focuses on maximum wind range, ultra-low weight in your hands, and full durability.

What sizes is the sail available in?

Super_Hero SLS 2024 is available in a range of sizes from 3.7 to 5.7 square meters, so you can choose the right sail size for your conditions and weight. The smaller sizes are optimized for control, while the larger ones offer better planing and a lighter feel in your hands.

What does Monocoque Fusion Body mean?

It is a fusion-assembled sail body without sewn panels, where the entire sail works as one unit. This means less movement between panels, a faster response, greater strength, and additional weight savings compared with traditionally sewn sails.

Is the sail suitable for beginners?

The sail is designed as a performance-oriented wave sail and is primarily aimed at experienced and demanding sailors, but thanks to its neutral character and wide wind range, it is easy to handle for a broad range of sailors. Choose the size that suits your conditions, and you’ll get a highly versatile sail.

Why can the sail develop a yellowish tint?

After intensive UV exposure, the fusion seam may take on a yellowish color. Extensive laboratory and water tests show that this is purely cosmetic and does not affect the sail’s strength or performance, so it is not covered by the warranty.

How long is the sail’s warranty?

Duotone offers its unique 5-year warranty on the Super_Hero SLS, reflecting its confidence in the quality and durability of the construction. This makes the sail a durable investment, even though it is built to be ultra-light.

How can I best care for the sail?

Rinse it with fresh water after use in salt water, let it dry in the shade, and roll it up loosely without sharp creases in the battens. Store it in a cool, dry place, and it will stay in top shape for many years.
