Description

The 2023 Duotone Whip SLS is an incredible small to medium wave and strapless freestyle machine. A generous nose rocker, high-performance rails and a “wide bump-squash” tail design make the Whip quick and agile when transitioning rail to rail. It is very reactive and can operate in a tight transition in small waves for radical turns.

The Whip’s compact shape is the ideal board for strapless freestyle pros and seasoned surfers. The Whip SLS is an extremely well-balanced board with incredible handling, but still provides explosive snap off the top with the ability to turn in a very tight radius on steep sections.

If you want to perform the latest tricks and lay some serious turns in the critical part of the wave, the Whip SLS is the board for you!

Technology

LIGHT TEAM CONSTRUCTION

  • We are using a more labor intensive, multi-step vacuum bag process that yields a super strong, lightweight board with a custom, hand sanded finish
  • The most substantial change to the light team construction, is that we no longer use a full bamboo sandwich
  • The cork shock absorber, which used to be concealed under the bamboo sandwich, is now clearly visible under the deck skin and allows the deck to flex and absorb shock like a custom PU board with minimal to no heel denting, thanks to the underlying reinforcements and the remarkable memory properties of cork
  • Pure surf board feel in an ultra light but durable construction

GRAB RAILS

  • Grab Rails for easier freestyle tricks, durability and comfortable general riding

INNEGRA SLS SURFBOARD

  • Innegra is the reason for the predictable feel of a polyurethane surfboard, combined with liveliness, durability, dent resistance and incredible light weight
  • The weight reduction was achieved by replacing fiberglass with Innegra

CORK SHOCK ABSORBER 2.0

  • Cork offers excellent absorption characteristics and reforms entirely without leaving any visible dents in contrast to PVC
  • Therefore, it is applied as a damper in the heel area of the surfboards

RESPONSIVE FLEX

  • Using bamboo in our surf boards, we take full advantage of the dynamic qualities of this natural product
  • Optimized layers and the mix with composite materials help us to construct powerful, agile and versatile surf boards that come with a unique flex – responsive flex

MULTIBOX

  • All boards now come with our own Futures Fins compatible fin boxes
  • Two side set screws and no rear tab allow for a wider tolerance of fin fitting and ensure a perfect and tight fit every time whether you’re using our high quality composite fins or any stock after market Futures brand fin
  • Easy to install and uninstall even with Sand and Salt
