Duotone Ultra FreeWave 2025

Rinsing after use: Always rinse your windsurfboard with fresh water after every session, especially after using it in salt water. Remove salt, sand and dirt from the deck, rails, fin boxes and fins with a soft cloth or sponge – avoid abrasive cleaning products that can scratch the coating.

Drying: Let the board dry completely in the shade before putting it away. Remove the fins, footstraps and other accessories, and dry them separately to prevent moisture or limescale deposits from forming in the fin boxes.

Storage: Store the board lying down or standing up in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. UV rays and heat can break down both the laminate and rubber details over time, so avoid leaving the board on the roof of your car or on the beach for longer than necessary. A padded board bag protects it during both transport and storage.

Wear and repairs: Check the board regularly for impacts, cracks and damaged fin boxes. Repair small coating damage promptly to prevent water from getting into the core – leave larger repairs to a professional repairer to preserve the board’s strength and durability.

What is the Duotone Ultra FreeWave 2025 best for?

The board is a freemove all-rounder that excels at bump & jump, moderate wave riding in side-onshore waves, and freestyle maneuvers. For true flat-water freeriding and long carve jibes, there are more specialized boards.

How does the Ultra FreeWave differ from a regular freemove board?

It is developed from a freestyle board and built with FULL CUSTOM Technology, making it about 200 g lighter than its predecessor while also stronger. Combined with its pointed, direct feel, this makes for a more spirited sailing experience than a typical compromise board.

Can it be used with both a single fin and a tri-fin?

Yes, that’s exactly the point. With a tri-fin setup, you get 70% of the wave potential of the GRIP 3; with a single fin, the ride is more exciting and speed-focused; and with a freestyle fin, the board delivers 70% of the SKATE’s freestyle potential.

What sizes is the Duotone Ultra FreeWave 2025 available in?

This range includes five sizes: 84, 94, 104, 112, and 119 liters, so you can choose based on your body weight and the sailing conditions you mainly sail in.

Is the board suitable for beginners?

The Ultra FreeWave is primarily aimed at sailors who want to learn and challenge themselves with maneuvers, and it is known for being easy to sail and easy to turn. However, if you’re completely new to windsurfing, a higher volume is usually the best place to start.

Why is it called the Ultra FreeWave?

The name comes from the board’s distinctive, crisp, exciting ride feel, which it offers without sacrificing control or wind range - instead of feeling dull and woolly like many wide freemove boards.

What does FULL CUSTOM Technology mean for me as a sailor?

The technology means that the board is built in the same way as high-end custom boards. The result is a lower weight and a stronger construction than the industry’s usual semi-custom standard.
