Duotone Soar SLS Kite Foil Board: Redefining High-Performance Flight

In the rapidly evolving world of kitesurfing, the quest for the ultimate hydrofoil experience leads to a single destination: the Duotone Soar SLS. Replacing the legendary Pace SLS for the 2026 season, the Soar SLS isn’t just an update—it is a complete reimagining of what a foil board can achieve. Engineered with Duotone’s “Strong Light Superior” (SLS) philosophy, this board is the new benchmark for riders who demand precision, durability, and effortless lift.

At Water Sports House, we know that the right kitesurfing equipment is what turns a marginal light-wind day into an epic session. The Soar SLS is designed to do exactly that, providing a stable yet ultra-responsive platform for everyone from progressing intermediates to Foil Big Air experts.

The SLS Advantage: Full Carbon Mastery

The “SLS” moniker represents the pinnacle of Duotone’s construction technology. For the Soar SLS, this translates to a Full Carbon Layup paired with a premium Full PVC Core.

Why Construction Matters

Standard boards often compromise between weight and strength. The Soar SLS uses a high-modulus carbon weave that ensures a direct, “telepathic” connection to your hydro foil.

• Minimal Swing Weight: By reducing the weight in the tips and rails, the board rotates faster, making transitions and aerial rotations feel weightless.

• Maximum Rigidity: Every pump of your legs and every steer of the kite is translated directly into the foil with zero energy loss through board flex.

• Enhanced Durability: The PVC core acts as a high-density shield, protecting the board from the high-impact stresses of Foil Freestyle and heavy landings.

Innovative Shape: Designed for Effortless Lift

The most striking change in the Soar SLS is its geometry. Duotone has moved toward a more rectangular nose and a refined rail profile to optimize the board for the modern kiteboard market.

Effortless Waterstarts

One of the key frustrations in light-wind kitesurfing is getting the board to plane before the foil takes over. The Soar SLS features increased volume under the front foot, providing a “buoyancy boost” that helps the board stay high in the water during those critical first few meters of a waterstart.

High Nose Rocker & Forgiving Touchdowns

Mistakes happen, especially when pushing into new maneuvers. The Soar SLS incorporates a high nose rocker and an expanded surface area. If you over-foil or lose balance, the board is designed to “skip” off the water surface rather than diving, allowing you to recover and stay in flight.

Technical Specifications & Sizing

The Soar SLS is available in two distinct sizes, catering to different rider weights and performance goals.

*Note: Experienced heavier riders often choose the 3’7″ for its ultra-compact feel in high-performance Big Air.

Customization and Connectivity

Every rider has a unique stance, and the Soar SLS is built to accommodate them all.

• Multiple Footstrap Options: The board features a wide array of inserts. Whether you prefer a “V-strap” setup for freestyle, a single center line for racing, or riding completely strapless, the Soar SLS adapts to you.

• Open Foil Tracks: The 90mm track system is now “open,” meaning you can slide your foil into position and tighten the bolts in seconds. It allows for infinite fine-tuning of your center of gravity.

• Optimized Rails: The beveled rails are specifically shaped to reduce drag during aggressive upwind banking, ensuring you can maintain high speeds without the board catching the water.

Summary: The Future of Kitefoiling

The Duotone Soar SLS is a masterclass in modern kitesurfing design. It bridges the gap between the accessibility needed for progression and the raw performance required for the world stage.

1. Lightwind Weapon: Extra volume ensures you are the first one flying.

2. Ultra-Direct Feel: Full Carbon SLS construction for total control.

3. Forgiving Nature: High rocker prevents the dreaded “nose-dive” on touchdown.

4. Versatile Setup: Open tracks and multiple strap inserts for a tailored ride.
