Duotone Skybrid SLS Foil Board
The Duotone Skybrid Foil Board is the new slant on recreational foil boards, which is a midway design between the long and narrow downwinders and the short and wide freerides. The idea is that a slightly longer hull tracks better than a short hull and a slightly narrower board will have less drag, therefore faster onto the plane and then onto the foil. The Skybrid is available in five size options, offering the right size of board for a riders weight and its usage (Note. Freshwater reduces a boards effective volume by 15%). Duotone say..
Introducing the Skybrid SLS – the latest addition to our range of high-performance Wing Foil boards, bridging the gap between our dedicated Downwinder range and the traditional compact Wing Foil boards. The Skybrid SLS is our new mid-length board featuring a longer and narrower outline while maintaining a wider nose and tail for incredible efficiency yet sustaining exceptional stability.
Key Features
Constructed in our premium SLS technology and longer Carbon foil tracks for minimum weight and increased adjustability, the Skybrid SLS ensures maximum performance, allowing the earliest flight in light winds and easy take-off with smaller, more efficient foils for the intermediate to advanced Wing Foiler.
The board is designed with a single concave to flat bottom shape for early planning and take-offs. Its raised front foot deck angle provides a more playful and responsive feeling while up on the foil, enhancing your overall riding experience through maneuvers and when surfing swell. The higher nose rocker helps prevent catching on the water and ensures smooth acceleration.
Cut-outs in the tail facilitate an early release from the water, while the beveled rails make takeoffs easier and offer more clearance through turns. This board excels in performance when set up for strapless riding but also has the option of using foot straps for those seeking more control during maneuvers and high-speed runs.
Experience the perfect combination of performance and efficiency with the Skybrid SLS our freeride hybrid between Downwinder and classic Wing Foiling shapes.
