Description
The Select SLS 2027 introduces a completely new outline, redefining comfort and efficiency in the Performance Freeride category. Designed for riders who value smooth handling, effortless cruising, and a premium ride feel, the Select SLS blends advanced SLS materials with refined shaping to deliver one of the most comfortable and efficient Freeride experiences in the Duotone range. At the center of the design is the updated outline, which adds width to improve early planing and low-end performance. The larger planing surface allows riders to get going earlier while also delivering noticeably softer landings and greater stability in variable conditions. Despite the added width, the board maintains excellent control and a lively Freeride character. Comfort on the water is further enhanced by the Double Concave Bottom, which absorbs shock and smooths out choppy conditions, creating a stable and controlled ride. Combined with Soft Flex and Absorption Flex Tips, the Select SLS significantly reduces harsh impacts and rider fatigue, allowing for longer, more enjoyable sessions. The premium SLS construction using Textreme Innegra and Biax Carbon keeps the board lightweight while delivering a lively yet forgiving response. This refined flex pattern provides smooth feedback and control while maintaining the responsive feel Freeriders expect from a high-end Performance Freeride board. To complete the Freeride package, Space Flex Technology allows the board to flex dynamically during turns, creating a fluid carving and playful board. Angled Rails further enhance grip and tracking efficiency, improving upwind performance and making it easier to maintain speed and control in all conditions. With its premium SLS construction and focus on comfort and effortless performance, the Select SLS 2027 is the ultimate Performance Freeride board for riders who want smooth control, playful carving, and maximum riding enjoyment.

Technologies
Absorption Flex Tips
A specially engineered tip construction works with the scoop rocker line to adapt seamlessly to different riding conditions. In light winds, the board stays flat for quick planing, while in strong winds the scoop bends to deliver added control and stability. The flexible tips absorb impacts and ensure smooth, cushioned landings.
Innegra SLS Surfboard
Innegra fibers provide a lightweight, durable construction that enhances liveliness, dent resistance, and overall board responsiveness. By replacing fiberglass with Innegra, these surfboards deliver precise, predictable performance without added weight.
Angled Rails
Angled Rails enhance board grip, improving upwind performance and delivering more responsive pop.
Space Flex Technology
Space Flex adapts seamlessly to the water’s surface, refining turning performance and overall ride feel. A stiff outer frame combined with flexible tips ensures smooth water release and early planing, while reduced swing weight makes tricks easier and rotations faster.
Soft Flex
Designed with softer materials, thinner cores, and specialized geometries, Soft Flex boards deliver a smooth, forgiving ride. They absorb impacts with ease, making every session feel effortless, fun, and full of flow.
Torsion Flex
A unique 3D cap shape allows controlled torsion along the board’s length, enhancing grip on the heel-side edge, ensuring smooth landings, delivering direct drive, and boosting upwind performance. A true innovation developed by Duotone.
Double Concave Bottom
The Double Concave Bottom channels water efficiently along two concave lines, enhancing grip, stability, and pop. This design ensures precise control, smooth planing, and responsive turns, while maintaining stability and control even after hard landings and in rough conditions.
Performance Outline
The Performance Outline delivers even more comfort and a smoother ride through chop. In addition, the low end is improved and landings are also smoother. Choosing the Performance Outline, comes with choosing a slightly longer board to 100% benefit from the improved performance. If you e.g. used a 138cm/41cm so far, you’d prefer a 141cm/41cm of this shape.
