Delivering dependable performance across the widest possible wind range. A perfect blend of power and control.

Both Blade and BladePro have been developed on an identical platform. The PRO construction offers the ultimate experience while the Blade replicates the dynamic performance in a more accessible construction.

Both constructions utilize GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY to logically reduce weight, increase strength, and control stretch. Direct transmission of power. Increased longevity.

The Blade features quality materials including VX2, SpiderFibre, and eM4. The BladePro is crafted in CARBON FUSION.

Total Control. The Blade is the control-oriented wave sail for any conditions.

The highly sporty, competitive slalom sail with unbelievable forward pull - the S_PACE craves for speed and yet is easy to handle.  The basis is the revolutionary 3 IN 1 DESIGN that Kai Hopf has developed over a period of 3 years, which allows an unprecedented trim range. Together with the three brand-new HYPER CAM 2.0, a tremendously wide range of use is the result: Adjusting the S_PACE trim for low- or high end conditions fundamentally changes the sail, which makes it possible to achieve maximum performance across all wind conditions!

The new S_PACE featuring the 3 IN 1 DESIGN is the perfect symbiosis of Duotone's most successful race slalom and freeride sails: whether V-Max, maximum acceleration or used as a sporty foil engine, the S_PACE is the most versatile cam sail on the market.The two extremely far apart positioned MIN and MAX trim points are proof of testament that the 3 IN 1 DESIGN covers an incredibly wide wind range.

The S_PACE shows a completely different high- or low end performance and sail character depending on the trim. On MIN setting with tight leech, it’s supper effective to pump, accelerates very efficiently and feels incredibly light - ideal also for foiling. On MAX trim, however, the S_PACE feels very similar to the WARP, constantly getting faster without limits. Three new, length-adjustable HYPER CAMS 2.0 ensure unique draft- and profile stability yet smooth rotation.

When used for foiling the S_PACE features a special clew eyelet to be able to position the sail even more upright.

Neilpryde Fusion windsurfing sail.

Back in the range due to popular demand, the Fusion fits perfectly between our wave and Freeride sails. It combines the easy rigging, handling and bump and jump performance of the Atlas with a little more power and stability, close to that of the Ryde.

Specially designed for small racers, the lightweight FGO has strong reinforcements in vital areas and covers a wide weight and wind range. The FGO benefits from the development of the race-winning Severne HyperGlide racing sails.

FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGY:

• Seamless head panel: this high abrasion area is made from only 1 panel and does not carry any exposed seams, preventing any potential weak point in this area. as a result, seam creep and seam-related failure have been eliminated.
• Refined leading edge: tuned entry with a finer leading edge rotation for reduced drag.
• Optimized aerodynamics: by aligning the battens with the direction of airflow drag has been reduced. clean panels with minimal seams further improve the aerodynamics. High-performance monofilm: custom high end monofilm construction to maximise performance and minimize weight. construction mimics the exact sail prototypes that were tested by our racers.
• Boom height reference: boom height gauge for ease of reference.
• Action window panel: crucial to big fleet starts, slalom racing and close contact. keep a close eye on your competitors and your own positioning during racing.
• Seamless foot construction: a single panel in the foot area with hidden load patches and zero exposed stitching eliminates seam abrasion and seam creep in this high load area. maximum durability and minimum weight.

ENGINEERED TO WIN. THE MACH 5 IS PURE SLALOM.

With a bias towards traditional, full-power slalom racing, significant updates to the Mach5 construction and geometry also improve performance when used on foil.

A higher aspect ratio reduces chord lengths, limiting any draft movement and increasing efficiency. Back hand pressure has been maintained, so when you need to switch on the afterburners the power is ready.

The Mach5 features an open leech, reducing drag and improving aerodynamics.

The higher Centre of Power demands respect, but rewards with aggressive performance. Race to win.

2023 Duotone Super Hero

The 2023 Duotone Super Hero has it all: unbeatable handling, neutrality and lowest weight without sacrificing durability We can truly claim that it is the most versatile wave sail with the widest possible wind range that we have ever built. That's why we recommend it unreservedly for all conditions and all rider weights! But one thing does not change: The new SUPER HERO remains THE ultimate World Cup Wave sail, which always works optimally in all wave conditions around the globe. Due to the completely neutral and balanced draft position, numerous constructional changes, material optimisations as well as the LIGHT DONE RIGHT CONSTRUCTION, it’s unrivalled neutral feeling in the hands as well as stability and control in every situation makes it is the new favourite sail of PWA Wave triple world champion Victor Fernandez. Why? It rides very smoothly, is as responsive as a 3-batten sail in drift & go conditions and has real bite at the decisive moment. It is direct when pumping, planes early, develops real drive on the wave, is stable and offers this special neutrality for superior control thanks to its centred draft position. In addition to optimizing performance, reducing the sail weight was a primary goal. With a modified panel layout, reinforcement patches with high-strength high-modulus fibres "Made in Germany" and a new mast sleeve construction, designer Kai Hopf achieves a weight reduction of a clearly noticeable 200 to 300 g!

Neilpryde Flight Evo III 3.
All sizes of the Flight EVOIII have been completely redesigned for 2022.

Now featuring 4 internal luff panels, covered by 1 oversized sleeve, this edition of the RS Flight is the most stable, aerodynamic foil sail we have ever made.

High aspect ratio with a large foot to optimize performance on the foil.

3 clew positions to allow optimal tuning whether competing in slalom or upwind-downwind races.

The brand new 2022 Duotone E PACE is exactly the kind of athletic freeride sails that makes windsurfing so fascinating and uncomplicated: easy to rig, accelerate like an e-motor and get into planing without pumping. Paired with competitive speed potential and the playful handling of a no-cam sail. This is pure windsurfing, with lots of thrust, speed AND the special simplicity even for the most sporty driven maneuvers.

Versatility is the great strength of the E_PACE: versatile range of use, versatile in a wide range of wind conditions. The two extremely wide MIN and MAX trim points offer the opportunity to cover an incredibly wide wind range and to give the E_PACE a completely different high- or low end performance and sail feeling. On MIN setting it accelerates very powerfully with the slightest wind pressure and feels incredibly light - ideal also for foiling. On MAX trim, however, it offers endless speed and control even when overpowered thanks to its pronounced loose leech.

The new No Cam E_PACE is the perfect freeride sail for all waters and conditions, combining handling and rigging advantages with a crisp, direct feel and harmonious, sparkling power delivery. Offering lot of fun, confidence, control and wonderfully easy windsurfing.

When used for foiling the E_PACE features a special clew eyelet to be able to position the sail even more upright.

The universal freeride sail with a wide range of use is suitable for application in numerous spots around the world. With its five battens, state-of-the-art profile and practical mix of materials, the EPX SAIL begins planing easily, has a stable draft position and is easy to control – leaving you free to experience the thrill of gybing and rapid strokes.

The EPX SAIL is a loyal partner on the road to the next ability level. Five different sizes cover all of the key wind ranges.

The legendary, extremely crisp and responsive wave sail with the most direct power on/off switch presents itself after this year's weight diet even lighter, better and with an incredibly wide range of use. It works with either single- or multi-fin wave boards and even in freewave jumping conditions.

With 4 battens (except size 6.2) and the identical material construction of the SUPER_HERO, the new SUPER_STAR is ready for ambitious wave riders. However, its forward draft position guarantees a very strong performance spectrum and extremely wide range of use from classic wave riding to freewave bump & jump.

The SUPER_STAR easily manages the balancing act from a perfect day with classic down the line conditions to sessions in gusty, sometimes underpowered onshore conditions. Especially the smaller sizes (4.2 and smaller) have been extensively optimized in favour of maximum control during jumping and riding down the line. The excellent performance is mainly determined by the more forward and slightly higher draft position. This gives the SUPER_STAR its individualised character, whose ride and handling characteristics immediately feel familiar. You don't need any time to get used to it in order to get going right away.

The sail feels consistently light and balanced in your hands but reacts very directly and spontaneously - also regarding power on/off. Riders who prefer tri fin boards, who like to do radical cutbacks in minimal space and who also like to steer the board with their back foot will love the new SUPER_STAR! It can be laid down playfully in the bottom turn and the propulsion set to "off", thrills with hardly noticeable batten rotation and generates enough propulsion to keep the speed high even in onshore winds to attack the next wave. Since the sail generates more lift in the upper area, the board gets lifted improving the low-end power. All this works even better and easier now that the new SUPER_STAR has been put on a diet and slimming makeover with the LIGHT DONE RIGHT CONSTRUCTION.

This is achieved through an optimized panel layout, reinforcement patches featuring a high-strength high-modulus "Made in Germany" fibre and a new mast sleeve design, which, depending on the sail size, results in a 200 to 300 g lower weight! Unlike other brands, the film thickness of the centre panel has not been reduced, so the well-known durability of the SUPER_STAR does not suffer in any way! On the contrary: Except for the window, the entire sail is now made from X-Ply, which minimizes possible damage after a wash and at the same time gives the sail a slightly more elastic behaviour. Performance, dynamics and ride feel benefit from the new luff length and the modified mast sleeve design, which no longer has a seam at the leading edge (ONE PIECE SLEEVE). This allows for millimetre-precise tuning and a refined shape, resulting in a more sensitive, harmonious reflex. The luff is now slightly shorter, and the sail foil tension has decreased, so the sail builds up a slightly softer profile. This makes it more stable to sail and very balanced in the hands. Whether SUPER_STAR or as STARGAZER EDITION, both score with the convincing combination of performance, handling and control, on/off and the necessary power to have maximum fun even in moderate conditions.

An important note:

DUOTONE is the only sail brand to offer two different wave sails: the SUPER_HERO with a centered-low draft position and the SUPER_STAR with a forward-up draft position. Both sails have their own character, ride differently and convey their own feeling. Therefore, you should not mix sails with different draft positions in your quiver, otherwise you will have to get used to them every time you change sails. By the way, this also applies to mixing DUOTONE sails with sails of other brands.

2022 Duotone Super Hero windsurfing sail

The SUPER_HERO has undergone the most comprehensive update since its introduction in 2012. Handling, neutrality and weight have improved noticeably once again and we can truly claim that it is the most versatile wave sail with the widest possible wind range that we have ever built. That's why we recommend it unreservedly for all conditions and all rider weights!

But one thing does not change: The new SUPER_HERO remains THE ultimate World Cup Wave sail, which always works optimally in all wave conditions around the globe. Due to the completely neutral and balanced draft position, numerous constructional changes, material optimisations as well as the LIGHT DONE RIGHT CONSTRUCTION, it’s unrivalled neutral feeling in the hands as well as stability and control in every situation makes it is the new favourite sail of PWA Wave triple world champion Victor Fernandez. Why? It rides very smoothly, is as responsive as a 3-batten sail in drift & go conditions and has real bite at the decisive moment. It is direct when pumping, planes early, develops real drive on the wave, is stable and offers this special neutrality for superior control thanks to its centred draft position.

Description

The brand-new E PACE is exactly the kind of athletic freeride sails that makes windsurfing so fascinating and uncomplicated: easy to rig, accelerate like an e-motor and get into planing without pumping. Paired with competitive speed potential and the playful handling of a no-cam sail.

This is pure windsurfing, with lots of thrust, speed AND the special simplicity even for the most sporty driven maneuvers.

Versatility is the great strength of the E_PACE: versatile range of use, versatile in a wide range of wind conditions. Thanks to the 3 IN 1 DESIGN with a greatly reduced luff curve, which is almost straight in the upper area, the downhaul tension has a major influence on the loose leech - and in turn on the character of the sail, depending on the trim. The two extremely wide MIN and MAX trim points offer the opportunity to cover an incredibly wide wind range and to give the E_PACE a completely different high- or low end performance and sail feeling.

On MIN setting it accelerates very powerfully with the slightest wind pressure and feels incredibly light - ideal also for foiling.

On MAX trim, however, it offers endless speed and control even when overpowered thanks to its pronounced loose leech. Ergo:

The new No Cam E_PACE is the perfect freeride sail for all waters and conditions, combining handling and rigging advantages with a crisp, direct feel and harmonious, sparkling power delivery. Offering lot of fun, confidence, control and wonderfully easy windsurfing. We are sure that there is no No Cam sail out there covering a larger wind range and range of use than the E_PACE.

Simply awesome: When used for foiling the E_PACE features a special clew eyelet to be able to position the sail even more upright! All E_PACE are also available in monofilm-free HD construction.

The extremely durable material mix, however, has its price, which we want to point out.

The Fanatic Ride rig is perfect for all windsurfers who want to keep it simple. No confusion or hi-tech over engineering, these sails are all about fun and freedom! The rigs are supplied complete with mast, sail, boom with uphaul, extension and mast foot, all in a handy bag to keep the parts together and organised for your next windsurfing session.

SUPER HERO HD is THE ultimate wave sail which always performs optimally in all wave conditions around the globe. The perfectly balanced sail is the personal favourite of PWA Wave double world champion Victor Fernandez and is a real World Cup asset that is designed specifically for wave usage. Thanks to the absolutely neutral and perfectly balanced handling, its calm handling characteristics are unrivalled and it remains stable and highly controlled in every situation. The SUPER HERO feels like a three-batten design combined with the stability of a five-batten one. The specially developed profile blows out very efficiently and produces high propulsion even when underpowered, which is why it’s suitable for almost all riders, regardless of weight. The SUPER HERO’s consistent evolution makes it an even better World Cup sail with an extremely wide range of use in the wave. It continues to give a top-end performance even under the brutal conditions of locations such as the Canary Islands or South Africa, remaining under perfect control with high winds and during extremely overpowered jumps. And yet it also boasts powerful acceleration capabilities at the lower wind limit, alongside an excellent on/off response, which would come in handy when participating in down-the-line surfing on Maui or Mauritius. To achieve this extraordinary overall package, designer Kai Hopf is tasked with combining numerous individual designs into a single concept. This includes the BATTEN-FREE CENTRE, additional MINI BATTENS, the HOLLOW LOWER LEECH and RADIAL LOAD STRIPES running from the clew. Only then can this four-batten wave sail offer a wind range whose breadth is without rival. An optimised panel layout provides increased stability and control for all sizes 5.0 and up. In terms of handling, the superiority of the SUPER HERO is beyond doubt thanks to its low weight. The batten rotation is beautifully soft, even with minimal outhaul tension. The top has a highly active role to play as well, thus supporting the forward pull. For this reason you can confidently choose a smaller sail size than with many other wave sails. Note: The SUPER HERO has been designed as a true wave sail and is only partially suitable as a flat-water, high-wind sail, for which we recommend the SUPER SESSION instead. SUPER HERO HD Although generally sharing the same structure, the SUPER HERO HD dispenses with monofilm even in the window panel.
