Chameleon character: The first sail to combine the benefits of a Freewave sail with those of a genuine down-the-line wave sail; SLS >> Strong-Light-Superior: 400–500 g lighter than the original DUKE; BATTEN-FREE CENTER: Larger gap between the foot batten and the batten above the mast sleeve >> better loading (= steering power) in the fork area and improved stability in the upper sail area; VTS TAIL outhaul specs: Each sail features individually defined visual markings for correct sheet tension (requires VTS TAIL fork mast); iROCKET 2.0: Individually calibrated batten tensions, factory-set using torque; SUPER-LIGHT BUMPER incl. VTS slot: The lightest protector on the market. The integrated vinyl viewing window makes it possible to see the bottom of the mast. Once the perfect trim has been found, this position can be "saved" using the optional Velcro fastener - saving time and ensuring maximum performance.

Duotone Duke SLS 2027
Description
Description
The Duotone Duke SLS 2027 is a 5-battled all-wave sail for advanced to expert windsurfers who combine freewave and wave riding. It ends the compromise between freemove and wave sails: it feels the board under your feet and adjusts its profile accordingly, so it pulls evenly on a multi-fin waveboard – for maximum control from the first bottom turn to the critical section of the wave lip.
Why this product is right for you
- Chameleon pull character: Automatically adapts the pull characteristics to single-fin and multi-fin waveboards without any setup changes.
- Light and responsive: 400-500g lighter than the original DUKE thanks to CARBON XPLY and a STRIPPED TO THE MAX panel layout – noticeable in every maneuver.
- Excellent early planing power: The BATTEN FREE CENTER concept with a larger distance between the foot and the batten above it delivers the early planing response of a 4-batten sail with the control of a 5-batten sail.
- Defined profile control: The DEFINED DRAFT MOTION concept with CARBON XPLY batten pockets fixes the battens and profile in a defined position with virtually zero stretch – for the response of carbon battens with the durability of glass battens.
- Easy trimming: VTS TAIL outhaul specs and iROCKET 2.0 with factory-calibrated batten tensions ensure perfect trimming without guesswork.
- Lightest mast protector: The SUPER-LIGHT BUMPER with an integrated VTS slot and viewing window allows you to see and store the mast position.

- Freewave and wave riders looking for a versatile sail for various conditions
- Riders who appreciate a light, responsive setup for Jump N' Ride and New School Freestyle

FAQ
FAQ
FAQ
Who is the Duotone Duke SLS suitable for?
The Duke SLS is aimed at advanced to expert windsurfers who want to combine freewave and wave riding.
What is the advantage of the BATTEN FREE CENTER concept?
The greater distance between the foot batten and the batten above the mast sleeve allows the mast sleeve area to load faster, providing better rail power and improved stability in the upper sail area.
How much lighter is the Duke SLS compared to the original?
The Duke SLS is 400–500 grams lighter than the original DUKE due to the use of CARBON XPLY and the reduced panel layout.
Which mast is recommended for the sail?
The Duotone PLATINUM or GOLD mast with RDM geometry is recommended as the optimal mast choice. The exact mast length depends on the sail size.
Does the pull character of the sail change?
Yes, the Duke SLS adapts its pull character to the board. On single-fin boards, it generates a slight forward pull, while on multi-fin waveboards, the pull is distributed evenly between both hands.
What is special about the CARBON XPLY batten pockets?
The CARBON XPLY batten pockets fix the battens and the profile in a defined position with virtually zero stretch. This offers the response of carbon battens with the durability of glass battens.
Is the sail new for 2027?
For 2027, there is a fresh color scheme in yellow/black; the proven technology remains unchanged.
What is included in the delivery?
The delivery includes the windsurf sail. The mast, mast sleeve, and other accessories are not included.
