Duotone Soleil Concept Blue 2024

Maintaining your kiteboard

Rinse the board with fresh water after every session, especially after using it in salt water, and dry it with a soft cloth. Salt and sand gradually wear down screws, fins, and pads, so rinsing them off will significantly extend their lifespan.

Let the board dry completely in the shade before putting it away. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays can damage both the graphics and the materials. Don’t expose the board to extreme heat, such as in a closed car on a hot day.

Store the board flat or upright in a dry, cool place, preferably in a board bag for extra protection during transport. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the board.

Regularly tighten the fins, foot straps, and handle, and check for damage to the finish or around the fins after contact with rocks or hard landings. Small dents and scratches can usually be repaired with a repair kit before they get worse.

What is the Duotone Soleil Concept Blue 2024?

It’s a twintip kiteboard designed by women for women and other riders with smaller builds and lighter weights who want a board with softer flex and better control than a standard unisex board.

What does Concept Blue construction mean?

Concept Blue is Duotone’s more sustainable construction technique, where flax replaces fiberglass and basalt stringers replace the carbon beam while maintaining performance.

What sizes is the board available in?

The Soleil Concept Blue 2024 is available in sizes 128 and 132, so you can choose the size that suits your weight and skill level.

What riding styles is the board suited to?

The board is ideal for freeride, big air, and cruising, with its narrow outline and large Space Flex windows providing a smooth, forgiving ride in all conditions.

What does the asymmetrical top deck do for the board?

The asymmetrical deck concentrates flex around the heel edge, making it easier to edge the board and generate pop for jumps.

Why are Flax Fibre and Basalt Stringers used?

Flax replaces traditional fiberglass cloth and provides excellent damping, while basalt - a natural volcanic rock - replaces the carbon beam and maintains a smooth yet engaging ride feel.

How do I maintain the board?

Rinse the board with fresh water after use, let it dry in the shade, and store it somewhere cool and dry - preferably in a board bag. Regularly check the fins, straps, and screws.
