Here at Worthing Watersports, we’re proud to be a Duotone specialist store — and we’re buzzing to finally share what we’ve been quietly testing for weeks now: the brand new Duotone D/LAB 2026 wave board range.
These boards are officially launching on 16th July 2026, but as one of Duotone’s key UK partners, we’ve already had our hands on them — and we’ve been riding them extensively over the past month to get a real-world feel for how they perform. And trust us, they don’t disappoint.
We’ll be releasing a full YouTube review very soon, giving our honest feedback from UK coastal conditions. So keep your eyes peeled — especially if you ride in Worthing, Gwithian, Ireland, or anywhere with Euro-style waves.

💥 What’s New in the 2026 D/LAB Range?
All three board lines in the new range — the Ultra Grip D/LAB, Grip 3 D/LAB, and Ultra FreeWave D/LAB — have been completely reimagined using Duotone’s cutting-edge AI_BOARD_3D software. This tech allows for design precision and complexity that simply wasn’t possible before.
The result? Shapes that are radical yet easy to ride, with a much broader range of use — perfect for the real-world wave sailor.
Each model incorporates three key shaping concepts:
-
Stable Yet Radical Concept – predictable feel underfoot with the ability to push harder and go more vertical.
-
3-Stage Rocker – improved planing, drive, and control across a wider wind and wave range.
-
Synced Curves Concept – for seamless rail-to-rail transitions and a more intuitive ride.
