DESCRIPTION FROM DUOTONE
2027 Duotone Skybrid SLS Foil Board
The 2027 Duotone Skybrid SLS is one of the most versatile performance boards in the Duotone line-up. Built on the brand-new 2027 Skybrid D/LAB shape, it packs early take-off, efficient glide and confident high-speed control into a compact mid-length outline. It is optimized for wing foiling, and crosses over easily to parawinging and Foil Assist, so one board covers almost every session.
Mid-Length Performance, Refined for 2027
A moderate rockerline keeps the board controlled and communicative when speeds climb, while still lifting smoothly and efficiently onto the foil. Bigger, rounder rail bevels shrink the planing surface, so the board releases earlier, touches down more softly and is easier to pump back up when the wind drops.
A lower rail apex adds stability, and the wider standing area now runs right out to the rails, giving you a secure, planted platform for offset stances and strapless riding. The diamond tail pairs a wide, stable base with extra clearance for sharp, controlled turns.
Biax Carbon PVC Sandwich construction keeps the board light, stiff and responsive, with efficient power transfer from your feet to the foil. Long Carbon foil tracks with rear openings make mounting and fine-tuning your foil position fast, and the thin deck pad keeps the feel direct.

Skybrid SLS vs. Skybrid D/LAB: 2027 Comparison
Both boards share the same 2027 Skybrid shape. The difference is the construction: the SLS delivers premium carbon performance at a more accessible price, while the D/LAB uses Duotone's Hollow Shell Composite to strip out weight for the lightest, most responsive ride in the range.
