Duotone Eagle SLS 2025

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

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 are capable of staying upwind. No other board will help you experience the sensation of gliding/planing so quickly as the EAGLE.
• Where it will take you: Besides getting planing, jibing is the EAGLE’s second strength. But it’s not just made for learning to (power)jibe - it will also accompany you all the way 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, so 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 all the way to pro-level lay-down race jibes. Paired with a high-performance fin and a freerace sail, you might even become the fastest guy at your spot on the BLAST, while still enjoying the comfort of a freeride board.

The EAGLE was designed with the following objectives:

> 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 to accompany you from your first planing attempts all the way to blasting and lay-down jibing. 

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

• The slightly longer and therefore less curved outline allows us to increase the volume by up to 30 litres compared to short-curved boards (e.g. Fanatic Gecko or Tabou Rocket) without any loss of 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 therefore less curved outline also offers 2 additional important advantages:

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

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

The manoeuvre-oriented rail shape makes jibing effortless and predictable, as the thin rails require less pressure to initiate the turn. This is ideal for jibing novices or for increasing your success rate with lay-down jibes.

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.
