Duotone Select SLS 2027 Kiteboard

Comfortable performance freeride kiteboard from Duotone

The Duotone Select SLS 2027 Kiteboard is made for riders who mainly want to ride a lot and stay comfortable, while still looking for a board that feels fast and lively. Within the Duotone line-up, the Select SLS sits firmly on the performance freeride side. Light under your feet, easy to control and comfortable when the water gets choppier.

For 2027, Duotone has significantly updated the outline. Every size is now one centimeter wider. For example, last year's 138/40 is now a 138/41. Thanks to the extra width, the board has more surface area and gets on plane earlier. Especially when the wind drops a little, you will notice that you need to work less hard to build speed.

The wider outline also helps with your landings. The extra surface area spreads the impact more effectively, allowing the board to touch down more softly. Despite the additional width, the Select SLS still edges well. The Angled Rails provide grip and help you ride upwind with ease. As a result, the board does not feel sluggish or excessively wide when you start riding faster.

The comfortable character comes largely from the Double Concave Bottom, Soft Flex and Absorption Flex Tips. The bottom shape helps absorb impacts from choppy water, while the flex in the board takes the harshness out of hard landings and rough conditions. Especially during longer sessions, you will notice that the Select SLS demands less from your legs than a stiffer performance twintip.

The SLS construction combines Textreme Innegra and Biax Carbon. The carbon gives the board a fast and direct response, while Textreme Innegra ensures that the overall feel does not become too stiff or nervous. This keeps the Select SLS light and playful, while still giving you plenty of control when you pick up more speed.

With Space Flex Technology, the board can flex smoothly through a carve. This makes turns feel fluid and gives the Select a playful feel on the water. Combined with the Angled Rails, it is easy to maintain speed and ride comfortably in any direction.

The Duotone Select SLS 2027 is available in 135/40, 138/41, 141/42 and 144/43cm. Thanks to the wider outline, the board is an interesting option for heavier riders, beginners, or kiters who could use a little extra help getting on plane. If you are looking for a comfortable and lightweight performance freeride twintip that makes long sessions easy, then the Select SLS 2027 is a great choice.
