Duotone TS Freestyle SLS 2025

Maintaining your kiteboard

• Rinse after use: Rinse the board, fins, and screws in fresh water after every session to remove salt, sand, and dirt.
• Dry in the shade: Let the board air-dry in the shade - avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays break down both the materials and the graphics.
• Avoid heat: Never leave the board in a hot car or near heat sources, as high temperatures can damage the laminate and bonding.
• Check your gear: Regularly inspect the fins, screws, inserts, and rails, and carefully tighten the screws again as needed.
• Store it properly: Store the board flat in a cool, dry place, preferably in a board bag when not in use.
• Transport: Use a board bag during transport to protect the base and rails from impacts and scratches.

Clean the footpads and footstraps with mild soap and fresh water if needed - avoid harsh chemicals and solvents, as they can damage the material.

What is the Duotone TS Freestyle SLS best for?

What sizes is the board available in?

What does SLS mean?

SLS stands for Strong Light Superior and is Duotone’s term for its high-performance top constructions, which combine low weight and maximum strength without compromise.

Can the board be used with footstraps instead of boots?

The board is optimized for boots with inline sliders and a boot-optimized stance, but it can also be ridden with footstraps if you prefer.

Can I ride the board without fins?

Yes. The deep tip channels provide plenty of grip on their own, so you can ride the board with or without the included S-Bend WK 3.5 Glass 15 fins.

What are the benefits of the Single Diffusor Bottom?

The bottom shape breaks the water’s surface tension, making landings significantly softer, even when you land at high speed after big tricks.

What’s the best way to care for the board?

Rinse the board and fins with fresh water after each session, let them dry in the shade, and store them in a cool, dry place in a board bag. Check the fins and screws regularly.

Is the board suitable for beginners?

No, the TS Freestyle SLS is a stiff-flexing competition twin tip aimed at experienced and progressive freestyle riders. Beginners will enjoy a softer, more forgiving all-round twin tip more.
