Duotone Eagle SLS 2025

EAGLE or BLAST - which freeride board suits you best?

Where you come from >< Where it will take you

1) EAGLE: IT’S ALL ABOUT PLANING

• Where you come from: you’ve had your first Windsurfing experience and can hold your course upwind. No other board will help you feel the gliding/planing sensation as quickly as the EAGLE.
• Where it will take you: besides planing, jibing is the second strength of the EAGLE. But it’s not just for learning to (power)jibe; it will also carry you through 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 at your spot with the BLAST, while still enjoying the comfort of a freeride board.

The EAGLE was designed with these goals:

> Super early (passive) planing

> Automatic/instinctive jibing

> Maximum wind range and control even in choppy waters

This makes the EAGLE the perfect board for intermediate to advanced riders, accompanying you from your first planing attempts all the way to 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 shape lets us increase the volume by up to 30 litres 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 light wind or sub-planing conditions.

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

The slightly longer and less curved shape also offers two important benefits:

1) It stops the board from turning unnecessarily into the wind, letting the Eagle get onto a plane almost by itself

2) It stops the board from bouncing around even in rough chop, which can be a problem with wide-curved boards

The rail shape, designed for manoeuvres, allows effortless and predictable jibing because the thin rails need less pressure to start the turn. This is perfect for jibing beginners or to improve your lay-down jibing success.

Even for an advanced sailor, the EAGLE is far from a dull board to ride. It almost feels like a longer version of the BLAST since it shares a very similar scoop-rocker line.
