Duotone Wam D/LAB 2024

Care for your kiteboard

• Rinse after use: Always rinse your board with fresh water after your session to remove salt, sand, and dirt, which can break down the material and fins over time.
• Clean gently: Use a soft cloth and mild soap when needed. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, and abrasives, as they can damage the finish.
• Dry completely: Let the board dry completely in the shade before putting it in the board bag. Moisture and heat can cause discoloration and damage to the laminate.
• Avoid direct sunlight and heat: Never leave the board in direct sunlight or in a closed car - high temperatures can damage the foam core and loosen the laminate.
• Storage: Store the board flat or upright in a board bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid placing heavy items on top of the board.
• Check your equipment: Regularly inspect the fins, fin screws, pads, and carry handle, and tighten or replace them if worn.
• Repair promptly: Small dents or cracks in the shell should be repaired right away to prevent water from getting into the core.

What is the Duotone Wam D/LAB suitable for?

The Wam D/LAB is a high-performance all-rounder designed for small to medium waves, handling everything from small onshore conditions to powerful down-the-line surf. It has the same shape that Duotone's pro team uses to compete on the GKA World Tour.

What sizes is the board available in?

The board comes in four sizes, from 5'5" to 5'11", with volumes ranging from 22.2 to 28.2 liters. Choose a size based on your body weight and skill level – the different sizes suit everyone from lightweight to heavier riders.

What size should I choose?

Start with your weight and the wave conditions you usually surf in: the smaller sizes suit riders from around 45 kg, while the largest model is suitable for riders over 85 kg. If you're unsure, choose a volume that gives you stability without compromising maneuverability.

What makes the D/LAB construction special?

D/LAB is Duotone's most advanced surfboard construction, offering increased comfort, durability, and dynamics on the water. The combination of Carbon Beam, Reflex Memory Foam, and Innegra Shield makes for a lively board that's also better protected against impacts and scratches.

Which fins come with the board?

All sizes come with a Duotone TS-M fin set. Installation is easy, and the fins can be removed for transport and storage.

How can I best take care of the board?

Rinse the board with fresh water after use, let it dry in the shade, and store it in a board bag away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid exposing it to hard impacts, and regularly check the fins and accessories for wear.
