Duotone Twintips 2027 — New Select SLS, Fins and Grab Handle Included

The twintip news for 2027 is one new shape and one thing that makes buying easier. The Select SLS has a completely new, wider outline. And every Duotone twintip in the range now comes complete: matching fins and a grab handle are included in the box, so you can ride it the day it arrives.

What's in the box: fins and a grab handle

This is the question we get asked most, so here is the straight answer. Every Duotone twintip comes with a set of matching fins. They are the fins the board was designed around, sized for that board, so there's nothing extra to buy and nothing to match up.

New for 2027, every twintip also comes with a standard Duotone grab handle, with the screws to fit it. That covers the Select, Jaime, TS Freestyle, TS Park, Soleil and Shred, in both the SLS and Concept Blue versions.

The one exception is the TS Big Air SLS, which comes with the new Duotone Big Air Handle instead. It's a bigger, more ergonomic handle built for mid-air grabs, with an integrated WOO compartment so your WOO sits inside the handle rather than being stuck to the deck. It's included free.

Select SLS — a completely new outline

The Select SLS is wider, and that does three things: it gets planing earlier, the low end is noticeably better, and the bigger planing surface makes landings softer and the ride calmer in chop. Normally extra width costs you upwind performance. Duotone have avoided that with angled rails that keep the edge grip up, so upwind stays strong.

It comes in four sizes: 135/40, 138/41, 141/42 and 144/43. Not sure which one suits your weight and wind conditions? Give us a call and we'll talk you through it.

SLS or Concept Blue?

The SLS boards (£1,019) use Innegra and carbon for a lighter, livelier feel. The Concept Blue boards (£669) swap that for flax and basalt fibre, with every board built using 100% solar energy. They are slightly heavier, but a little softer and more forgiving, and you still get the same shapes, the same fins and the same grab handle, for £350 less.

If you're progressing and want a great board without the top-end price, the Concept Blue Select and Jaime are a very sensible way in. Both Select and Jaime also come in Concept Blue, and so does the women's Soleil.

The rest of the range

The Jaime SLS and TS Big Air SLS both get extra reinforcement for better pop and less reverse flex on landings. The TS Park is longer, with the fins moved closer to the edge so it stops slipping out on flat-water pop. The TS Freestyle SLS has a new graphic. The women's Soleil SLS and the kids' Shred carry over technically unchanged.

Entity 360 (NTT 360) bindings — adjust your straps on the water

The new Duotone Entity 360 binding, also called the NTT 360 (£249), is the next step on from the Entity, with a Dual Tune Closure System: two dials that adjust the front and rear straps independently, one-handed, without getting off the board. The strap is built like a sneaker, so it wraps the foot comfortably, and it's about 20% lighter than the previous generation. It fits boards with 6 inch or 6.5 inch insert spacing as well as track mounting, so it works with most twintips on the market. It's available in S, M, L and XL.

If you'd prefer something simpler and cheaper, the Entity Ergo (£199) is an adjustable comfort binding, and the Vario Combo (£114) is a good freeride starter set.
