Duotone Session SLS 2024

Care for your Duotone Session SLS board

Always rinse your board with fresh water after using it in salt water, and dry it with a soft cloth before putting it away. Salt and sand can degrade the finish, fin boxes, and straps over time, so a quick rinse significantly extends your board’s lifespan.

Always store your board in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight, both in summer and during the winter months. Avoid leaving it in a closed car or in direct sunlight for long periods, as heat and UV radiation can damage the material and core. Store the board lying down or standing on a soft surface, preferably in a board bag for extra protection against impacts and scratches.

After every session, check your board for impacts, cracks, and damage to the core, especially around the fin boxes. Repair small areas of damage quickly to prevent water from getting into the core. Regularly remove old wax with a wax scraper and a suitable cleaner, and apply fresh wax before your next session. Tighten and check the fins regularly, and make sure they’re properly secured before you hit the water.

What is the Duotone Session SLS best for?

The Session SLS is designed for medium to big waves and is Duotone’s best big-wave board in the lineup. However, it still works well in almost any wave size, so you can use it as a versatile waveboard all season.

What sizes is the Session SLS available in?

The board is available in 5'8" and 5'10". The smaller size suits lighter riders, while the larger one suits heavier riders and offers more volume and drive in big waves.

Can you use both quad and thruster fins on the board?

Yes, the Session SLS can be set up with either a quad or thruster fin configuration. The board comes with a TS-M fin set, so you can adjust the fin configuration to suit your preferences and the conditions.

What are the foot strap inserts for?

Foot strap inserts let you mount straps so you stay connected to the board when the waves get big. This gives you extra control and confidence in big-wave conditions.

What does Innegra Shield do for the board?

Innegra Shield wraps around the entire board and protects it from everyday bumps and scratches. It helps keep the board strong and looking good through many seasons.

Why is Cork Shock Absorber 2.0 important?

Cork Shock Absorber 2.0 takes pressure off your heels during hard landings and in chop, while still keeping you in perfect contact with the board. This means more comfort and better control over your movements in the wave.

Is the Session SLS suitable for strong winds and choppy conditions?

Yes, with its measured, control-oriented shape and measured pin tail, the board is an excellent choice in strong winds and choppy conditions. It stays engaged and connected through fast carves.

How should I best care for my Session SLS board?

Rinse the board with fresh water after every session, and store it somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight. Check regularly for dings and cracks, and repair damage quickly so water doesn’t get into the core.
