Duotone Eagle SLS 2024

EAGLE or BLAST - which freeride board is right for you?

Where you come from >< Where it will take you

1) EAGLE: IT’S ALL ABOUT PLANING

• Where you come from: you had your first Windsurfing experience and can stay upwind. There’s no other board that will help you feel the gliding/planing sensation so quickly than the EAGLE.
• Where it will take you: besides planing, jibing is the second strength of the EAGLE. But it’s not just made for learning to (power)jibe, it will even accompany you up to freerace blasting and laydown jibing.

2) BLAST: MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE WITH MINIMUM EFFORT

• Where you come from: you’re comfortable sailing in the foot straps, then the BLAST is your performance machine.
• Where it will take you: the BLAST will instantly make you a faster sailor. Since it’s also very easy to jibe, it will be your partner from your first power jibes up to pro-level laydown race jibes. Paired with a high-performance fin and a freerace sail, you might even become the fastest guy at your spot with the BLAST, while still enjoying the comfort of a freeride board.

The EAGLE was designed with the following goals:

> Super early (passive) planing

> Automatic/instinctive jibing

> Maximum wind range and control even in choppy conditions

This makes the EAGLE the perfect intermediate to advanced board that will accompany you from your first planing attempts all the way through blasting and laydown jibing.

To achieve these features, the team around Dani Aeberli (Product Manager Boards) developed the VOLUME YET CONTROL CONCEPT:

• The slightly longer and therefore less curved outline lets us increase the volume by up to 30 liters compared to short-curved boards (e.g. Fanatic Gecko or Tabou Rocket) without losing control.
• The extra volume results in a much more confident, predictable, and relaxed riding position, especially in underpowered or sub-planing conditions.

>> This leads to an unbeatable, broad range of use.

The slightly longer and less curved outline also offers 2 additional important advantages:

1) It prevents the board from turning unnecessarily into the wind which lets the Eagle get onto a plane almost automatically

2) It prevents the board from bouncing around even in rough chop, which becomes an issue with wide-curved boards

The maneuver-oriented rail shape allows effortless and predictable jibing because the thin rails require less pressure to start the turn. This is ideal for jibing beginners or to increase your lay-down jibing success rate.

Yet even for an advanced sailor, the EAGLE is anything but a boring board to sail. It almost feels like a longer version of the BLAST since it shares a very similar scoop-rocker line.
