Grip 3 SLS
2 000,00 €Duotone Grip 3 SLS Board – The Ultimate Freestyle and Wave Performance The Duotone Grip 3 SLS Board is a revolutionary addition to the world of high-performance kiteboards. Designed for riders who crave precision, explosive pop, and all-around versatility, this board is engineered to elevate every session on the water. With cutting-edge SLS (Strong, Light, Stiff) construction, it merges durability and agility like never before. Whether you’re attacking freestyle tricks or carving through waves, the Grip 3 SLS delivers unparalleled performance, confidence, and responsiveness. From the moment you step onto the board, you’ll notice its carefully crafted shape, flex pattern, and weight distribution. Every curve and contour serves a specific purpose, whether it’s enhancing speed, improving control, or absorbing impacts. This attention to detail ensures that every rider, from ambitious intermediates to seasoned pros, can experience the thrill of effortless mastery on the water. Innovative SLS Construction Technology The hallmark of the Grip 3 SLS Board lies in its SLS construction, which stands for Strong, Light, Stiff. This proprietary technology defines a new standard in kiteboarding materials and design, delivering a board that feels agile yet stable, resilient yet lightweight. Strong – Reinforced Durability for Aggressive Riding Duotone has incorporated reinforced carbon layers and high-strength composites throughout the board to enhance impact resistance. This means that even during aggressive landings or hard freestyle tricks, the board remains intact and maintains its performance characteristics. Riders can push their limits without worrying about compromising the structural integrity of their equipment. Key Benefits of Strong Construction: Durable materials withstand repeated high-impact use Reinforced rails for longer lifespan Minimal deformation under stress Light – Effortless Agility and Reduced Fatigue One of the most impressive features of the Grip 3 SLS is its exceptionally lightweight design. By carefully selecting advanced composite materials, Duotone has reduced overall board weight without sacrificing strength. A lighter board improves maneuverability, allowing riders to execute rotations and flips with minimal effort. Additionally, reduced fatigue during extended sessions means you can spend more time enjoying the water and less time recovering. Light Construction Advantages: Easier handling in all conditions Faster pop and lift during jumps Less strain on the rider’s legs and core Stiff – Precision Flex for Maximum Control Flex patterns in kiteboards are critical for performance. The Grip 3 SLS employs a medium-stiff flex profile optimized for both freestyle and wave conditions. This stiffness allows for explosive pop, precise edge control, and predictable landings, which are essential for high-level tricks. Despite its rigidity, the board still absorbs shocks intelligently, offering a smooth ride even over choppy water. Benefits of Stiff Flex: Enhanced control during jumps and landings Improved power transfer from rider to board Confidence during aggressive freestyle maneuvers Shape and Design – Engineered for Versatility The outline and rocker design of the Grip 3 SLS Board are carefully tuned for versatile riding. Unlike conventional boards, this model combines the stability needed for waves with the agility required for freestyle. Multi-Radius Rocker Line The multi-radius rocker line allows the board to plane quickly and efficiently, enabling explosive take-offs and fluid transitions. The board tracks well through water while maintaining precision for carving turns, making it suitable for a wide range of conditions. Tapered Tips and Wide Center A wider center provides stability during landings, reducing the chance of catching an edge. Tapered tips enhance maneuverability, allowing riders to pivot seamlessly and react instantly to water conditions. This balance of width and taper is what makes the Grip 3 SLS a versatile option for riders who don’t want to compromise performance in any scenario. Performance Highlights – Freestyle and Wave Excellence The Grip 3 SLS Board excels across multiple riding styles. Whether you are performing aerial tricks or riding waves, the board provides confidence, precision, and explosive energy. Freestyle Mastery Freestyle riders will appreciate the board’s explosive pop, which enables high jumps and intricate tricks with minimal effort. The edge control allows riders to pivot mid-air or on the water’s surface for smoother transitions. Meanwhile, the impact-absorbing flex ensures that landings feel controlled and comfortable, even after high-altitude jumps. Freestyle Benefits: Rapid lift for jumps Smooth, controlled landings Precise edge control for advanced tricks Wave Riding Dynamics Wave enthusiasts will notice the board’s ability to cut through steep wave faces while maintaining rail stability and control. Its adaptable flex absorbs bumps, providing fluid motion and responsiveness. Riders can carve aggressively or make quick directional changes without sacrificing control. Wave Riding Advantages: Agile shape for seamless turns Stable rails for confident carving Dynamic flex for optimal wave performance Key Features and Specifications The Duotone Grip 3 SLS Board combines cutting-edge technology and practical design elements to deliver exceptional performance.
