Duotone Duke 2024

Maintaining your windsurf sail

How to keep your sail in top shape season after season:

• Rinsing: Always rinse or spray your sail with fresh water after using it in salt water - at least once at the end of your vacation.
• Drying: Let the sail dry completely before rolling it up. Release the sail's tension while drying, avoid direct sunlight, and never let it dry by flapping in the wind.
• Rolling up: Always roll the sail up from the top or bottom, and make sure all battens remain fully tensioned in their pockets.
• Storage: Never store the sail rolled up for an extended period unless it is completely dry. Store it in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight.
• General: Always rig according to the manufacturer's rigging instructions to avoid unnecessary wear and maintain the sail's performance.

What sizes is the Duotone Duke 2024 available in?

The sail is available in eight sizes from 4.2 to 6.7, so you can choose the size that suits your weight, your board, and the typical wind conditions you sail in.

How many battens does the sail have, and why is that important?

The Duke has five battens. More battens provide more control and a wider wind range, which is especially useful in gusty and variable wind conditions.

Which disciplines is the Duotone Duke suitable for?

The sail is a true all-round handling sail: perfect for bump & jump on a freewave board, as a smaller sail for freeride, for classic and new-school freestyle tricks, and for medium-wave and jumping conditions.

What’s the difference between the regular Duke and the Duke HD?

The regular Duke is made with 50% monofilm, with all high-stress areas reinforced with XPly, while the Duke HD is made entirely of XPly for extra peace of mind.

How do I get the correct trim?

All Duotone sails feature markers and hints that make rigging quick and precise, even if you don’t rig every day. Just follow the markers to get the correct trim and unlock 100% of the sail’s performance.

Does the sail plane quickly?

Yes. The high draft distribution combined with a deep profile helps the board get planing quickly, even without excessive pumping.

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

Rinse the sail with fresh water after use in salt water, let it dry completely before rolling it up, and avoid storing it rolled up unless it’s dry.

Does the sail come with a warranty?

Yes, Duotone offers a 5-year warranty on the sail, thanks to the thoroughly tested Light Done Right construction, which maintains durability despite its low weight.
