Duotone Hybrid SLS 2024

Maintaining your kiteboard

Always rinse your board with fresh water after using it in salt water, and let it dry completely in the shade before putting it away. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down the material and fade the graphics.

Wipe the board with a soft cloth, and regularly check the foil mount, strap inserts, fin boxes and screws for looseness or damage. Remove sand and dirt from the fin boxes so the fins fit easily and without force.

Store the board flat or upright on a flat, dry surface - preferably in a board bag - away from heat sources such as a car in direct sunlight. Avoid leaving the board in a closed, hot car for long periods, as extreme heat can damage its construction. Check the board for dents or cracks after impacts, and repair any damage quickly to prevent water from getting into the core.

What is the Duotone Hybrid SLS 2024 for?

It's a crossover board that works as a foilboard, a strapless freestyle board, and a kitesurf board for small to medium-sized waves - perfect if you only want to bring one board to the beach.

What sizes does the Hybrid SLS come in?

The board comes in three sizes: 5'0", 5'2", and 5'4", with volumes from 20.3 L to 25.6 L, so you can choose based on your body weight and conditions.

Can I use the Hybrid SLS with and without footstraps?

Yes. The board comes with inserts so you can install footstraps, but you can also ride it completely strapless, depending on your style.

Is Hybrid SLS ready for foil?

Yes, the board has a unique four-point foil mount that's lighter than conventional tracks and maintains smooth flex in the mounting area when the board is used as a surfboard. The foil itself must be purchased separately.

Which fins fit the Hybrid SLS?

The board comes with a TS-M fin set and has Multibox fin boxes that are compatible with Futures Fins.

Why is the board called SLS?

SLS stands for Strong Light Superior - a light and strong construction with Innegra Shield, Cork Shock Absorber 2.0, and Carbon Beam, offering low weight, durability, and high responsiveness underfoot.

Is the Hybrid SLS good as a travel board?

Yes. Its compact shape with a cut-off nose and tail makes the board easy to pack and transport, and because it covers waves, freestyle, and foil, you only need to bring one board on your trip.

What's the best way to care for my board?

Rinse the board with fresh water after using it in salt water, let it dry in the shade, and store it in a board bag away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
