Duotone Ultra Grip (Quad) SLS

Similar to what we have achieved with the SUPER_HERO D/LAB sails our goal was to create real game changers with our new wave board range. What we had learned from the SUPER_HERO D/LAB development is that you need to work on all aspects to really make a decisive improvement. Switching our board technology from the industry-standard semi custom technology to our exclusive FULL CUSTOM PRODUCTION marked the foundation for all the rest to come (see TECH AND SHAPE DETAILS below for details). Because this technology lifted our weight vs. strength ratio to a whole new level. And it finally allowed us to make every single prototype in the factory like we are doing with our sails since over 30 years. Because the best prototype is worth nothing if it can't be reproduced or feels different due to different materials, processes or weight. To achieve a similar step up in the 3D design we decided to get our own CAD program written. Compared to the industry-standard Shape3D software our AI_BOARD_3D program is much more accurate and lets us perform even super complex shaping tasks like the brand-new SYNCED CURVES CONCEPT. DESIGN GOALS >> SHAPE DETAILS Our main goals were to create designs which have a maximum range of use and are easier (less exhausting) plus more radical on the wave. Basically we wanted to create a more stable platform which is great for getting going and going over the white water. But at the same time the boards should turn even more radical when going down the line, which are opposing features you usually can't combine. Here are the 3 major shape details our team has developed over the last 2,5 years (see TECH AND SHAPE DETAILS below for all other details): STABLE YET RADICAL CONCEPT Our wave boards are 1-2cm wider than most other boards.
