Duotone kiteboarding kiteboard technology

The Duotone kiteboards are kiteboards with the highest quality on the market. You can only achieve that quality through a lot of innovation and research. This leads to various unique constructions, and techniques that make the Duotone kiteboards of this high quality. Below are some of the most important techniques explained.

Duotone SLS (Strong Light Superior) Construction (twintip)

The Select SLS, Jaime SLS, Soleil SLS and Spike SLS are made using a carbon construction, in which all the expertise of Duotone comes back in one construction. To achieve the best possible performance, each board has its own SLS version with the focus on lightweight and playfulness. To reduce the maximum weight, the upper deck uses the patented Spread Tow Fabric. A 45-degree diagonal Biax Carbon is used on the bottom to ensure maximum pop and grip.

Duotone D/LAB Construction

The products with the D/LAB logo come from the Duotone Laboratory and are made with the most innovative construction techniques. The kiteboards with a D/LAB construction are kiteboards that use the very best materials. It doesn't matter what it costs as long as it's made from the best materials in the world. These new materials are both lighter and more durable.

Duotone Premium Performance Construction (twintip)

The most advanced construction in the line has been specially developed for the boards of TS Hadlow and the Team Series. It is the most durable construction in the board line, which shows the top of the kiteboard development. A 45 degree bi-carbon layer under the footpad surface ensures a very smooth but comfortable flex and also offers maximum durability. This construction has been developed for competition-oriented riders by the best riders in the world, aimed at extreme grip and pop - even without fins!

Duotone Premium Construction (twintip)

The Premium Construction board Jaime, Select and Soleil are equipped with Carbon Beams, where parts of the fiberglass are replaced by unidirectional carbon strips in order to noticeably improve the performance of the board. This results in a faster and even more progressive flex for a better pop and lower weight.

Duotone Double Diffuser bottom (twintip)

The Double Diffuser breaks the water surface during landings, provides grip and accurate feedback from the board. The Double Diffuser also offers good control in all conditions with a sporty character in all the time. With the Double Diffuser, harder flex patterns can be used inside the board without loss of comfort. The harder flex delivers better pop, making it a winning combination. By breaking the surface of the water during landing, the Double Diffuser ensures smooth and direct flow from the board. This ensures control and comfort when landing, no matter how fast you go.

Duotone Light Team Construction (directional)

From 2019 Duotone uses a more labor-intensive, multi-step vacuum process that produces a super strong, lightweight surfboard with a custom, hand-sanded finish. The most drastic change in the construction of the light team construction is that Duotone no longer uses a complete bamboo construction. The cork shock absorber, which used to be hidden under the bamboo deck, is now clearly visible under the deck and allows the deck to bend and absorb impacts such as a modified PU board with minimal to no heel indentation, thanks to the underlying cork reinforcements. Super good board feeling in an ultra-light but durable construction!

Duotone Classic construction (directional)

The Duotone classic surfboard construction is the result of years of development to create a durable all-round strap and strapless construction that combines the best elements of flex and feel with a durable construction proven to be much better in strength / weight ratio than other available technology. ATTENTION: Inspired by the Light Team Construction, the bottom of the Classic Construction now offers two lightweight bamboo strips and a unidirectional glass strip outside the laminate to prevent kinks.

Duotone Technora Net

Technora is a para-aramid fiber with excellent technical characteristics for high-quality kite surfboards. The technora net has a high tensile strength, good resistance and long-term shape stability, making it an ideal fiber to place on surfboards that are repeatedly exposed to great impact. We have placed the Technora fiber in a way that does not affect the overall feel and flex of the board and has slightly changed the Duotone overall layout to avoid adding extra weight to the boards, while still making the best use of the board. the superior strength of Technora to prevent cracking and breaking.
