Duotone Whip 2024

Maintaining your kite surfboard

Rinse the board with fresh water after every session in salt water, especially the fins, fin boxes and fin plugs, where salt and sand can get stuck. Dry the board completely with a soft cloth before putting it away.

Cleaning: Remove wax and dirt with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents and pressure washers, as they can damage the laminate, cork deck and pads.

Drying: Let the board dry in the shade at room temperature. Never leave it in direct sunlight for extended periods when it’s not in use - UV rays break down the laminate and colors over time.

Storage: Store the board flat or upright in a cool, dry place, preferably in a board bag to protect it from bumps and scratches. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or near heat sources, as extreme heat can damage the construction.

Transport: Always use a board bag when transporting it, and regularly check the fins and inserts for damage so you can spot wear before it becomes a bigger problem.

What is the Duotone Whip 2024 best for?

The Whip is designed for small to medium waves and strapless freestyle. Its compact shape makes it ideal for vertical turns in the pocket, fast trick sequences, and energetic carving.

Which size should I choose?

The board comes in three sizes, 5'0", 5'2", and 5'4", with volumes ranging from approximately 20.3 to 25.6 liters. Choose the smallest size if you're light or want maximum responsiveness, and the largest if you weigh more or want more buoyancy.

Is the Duotone Whip suitable for beginners?

The Whip is primarily aimed at experienced surfers and freestyle enthusiasts, as its compact shape requires active control. Beginners typically get more enjoyment from a board with more volume and stability.

Can I use footstraps on the board?

Yes, the board has built-in foot strap inserts, so you can install straps when you want extra hold for hard tricks or big landings - and ride strapless whenever you prefer.

What comes in the box?

The package includes the board and a rear deck pad. Fins must be installed before use, and a TS-M fin set is used.

How do I care for my Whip board?

Rinse the board with fresh water after sessions in saltwater, let it dry in the shade, and store it in a board bag in a cool, dry place - this will help the laminate and cork deck last as long as possible.

Is the board also good on flat water?

Yes. The rocker line and channel in the bottom generate good speed even on flat water, making it easy to link turns and pop tricks when there are no waves.
