Duotone Blitz D/LAB 2026

With the EAGLE and the brand-new BLITZ, Duotone offers two new boards for the freeride >< freerace segment that cover everything from learning to plane to being the fastest surfer at your spot. The EAGLE and the BLITZ D/LAB CUSTOMIZED are the stiffest, lightest, and most planing-capable boards in their class. In fact, they are over a kilo lighter than other comparable boards.

EAGLE or BLITZ – which is the right freeride >< freerace board for you?

1) EAGLE: IT'S ALL ABOUT PLANING

• Where you come from: You have had your first windsurfing experiences and can hold your own. There is no other board that can give you the feeling of planing in such a short time like the EAGLE. 
• Where it will take you: In addition to planing, jibeing is the EAGLE's second strength. But it is not only made for learning (power) jibes, but will even accompany you up to freerace jibing and laydown jibing.

2) BLITZ: MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE WITH MINIMUM EFFORT

• Where you come from: If you already feel comfortable in the footstraps, then the BLITZ is your performance board! 
• Where it will take you: The BLITZ will immediately make you a faster windsurfer. With playful handling on the rails, it will be your partner from the first power jibes up to laydown race jibing. In combination with a high-performance fin and a freerace sail, you could even become the fastest rider at your spot with the BLITZ, without having to give up the comfort of a freeride board.

During the development of the BLITZ, the main goal was to develop a board with maximum performance and minimum effort that remains controllable over the widest possible wind range.

First of all, the BLITZ follows the same VOLUME YET CONTROL CONCEPT as the EAGLE. This means that you can easily choose a board that is 10 liters larger than with other brands without losing control in overpowered conditions. Thanks to the additional volume, the board feels more stable underfoot in non-planing conditions and also planes earlier than boards with less volume, without losing high-end performance and control. 

Furthermore, the BLITZ can be aggressively jibed in experienced hands, but thanks to the wide tail, it also feels light and smooth for advanced riders. This way you can go through all jibe levels without ever outgrowing the board. 

Key Features 

• The racier/boxier rails and a further outboard strap position allow the rider to push harder so that the board flies over the fin and achieves a higher top speed.
• The 2 STEP CUTOUTS further reduce drag at full speed and give you an advantage over your friends.
• The RECESSED MAST TRACK AERA lowers the rig connection and improves control and aerodynamics, for an ideal "Close The Gap".

Maximum control and predictable behavior over a maximum wind range also make the BLITZ the ideal companion for long-distance trips and races with maximum control.

The incredibly wide range of applications can be further expanded by changing the fin, which has a noticeable effect on the characteristics of the board:

• The F_RIDE fin included with the board makes the BLITZ very comfortable to ride and forgives mistakes when jibing.
• As an aftermarket fin, the BLITZ can be combined with our RACE D/LAB fin, which was developed by Dani Aeberli and tested by Jordy Vonk. With this fin, the BLITZ becomes an unbeatable freerace machine.
