Duotone Super_Hero SLS 2027 - High Performance Wave Sail

The Super_Hero SLS is Duotone's SLS wave sail for riders ranging from progression-focused wave sailors to World Cup competitors. Available in sizes 3.0 to 5.7 m², this wave sail is built around three design principles: wind range, durability, and ultra-light sailing weight.

Wind range comes first. The Super_Hero SLS uses a deliberately thicker film on the large center panel above the window. This keeps the sail from stretching under load, so the profile holds its shape through gusts. A wave sail that stays true to its profile throughout the session means fewer sail changes and a tighter quiver.

Built to last. Puncture and UV resistance depend directly on film thickness, and the XPLY PLUS laminate is engineered to hold up across reef breaks, rocky landings, and years of hot-climate sessions. Duotone backs every Super_Hero SLS with a 5 YEAR WARRANTY (2+3 years, registration required).

Sailing weight is not scale weight. CARBON XPly in the high-load top and clew areas keeps the sail stretch-free even when gusts hit. It stays light and direct in your hands throughout the session, not only at the beach.

The four-batten design and medium-low vertical draft position deliver high-end control and keep the rail in the water through down-the-line turns. The VTS Visual Trim System makes setup precise in seconds, and the HTS 2.0 harness line system prints the optimal position directly on the sail.

2027 brings a new look in yellow/grey and turquoise/black, with the proven wave sail construction unchanged.

Key Features

INTELLIGENT CARBON XPLY CONSTRUCTION SLS: CARBON XPLY in the high load top- and foot area and especially at the batten pockets guarantees unsurpassed low stretch and power transmission. However, the slightly more (re)flexing regular XPLY in the body avoids the power from becoming uncontrollable
LIGHT DONE RIGHT CONSTRUCTION: Radical weight reduction of 450 g, bringing it to the same level as the SUPER_HERO D/LAB. However, WITHOUT using super thin film on the main panel which is the secret of our unrivaled wind range and longterm durability!
XPLY PLUS: Laminate (100/150 micron) with the lowest stretch and best UV- and puncture resistance on the market
SUPER-LIGHT BUMPER: The lightest protector on the market, with integrated downhaul trim indicator slot

Tech Features

2+3 YEAR WARRANTY: Guaranteed quality – no other brand offers anything close to it. Keeping weight to a minimum is a great idea. But if necessary reinforcements are reduced too much, the product’s service life will automatically get shorter. DUOTONE has struck the perfect balance between weight and durability. To prove our dedication to ensuring durability and unique quality, almost all of our sails come with a 2+3 year warranty (excluding monofilm). To secure warranty claims fully, please remember to register at www.duotonesports.com straight after your purchase. Otherwise, only statutory warranty claims will be accepted. This is valid only for original owners.;3D Top Cap:Optimised pull. On regular top caps and pin systems the webbing is connected in a “one-dimensional” way with the sail body (either side to side or front to back), which transfers the downhaul tension only in certain points. The 3D TOP CAP allows a “three-dimensional” and very widespread transition of the downhaul forces into the sail body. This eliminates top fluttering and ensures a progressive loose leech extending the wind range. The integrated abrasion ribs eliminate the need for heavy, bulky reinforcements at the end of the luff sleeve.
Carbon XPly: Based on our exclusive XPLY PLUS, we have added unidirectional carbon strings. This has virtually eliminated the stretch in the load direction, while retaining a certain give/elasticity in the other direction. We use CARBON XPLY in the high tension/stretch areas (top and clew). Especially in the clew area, this helps transfer the load from the clew into the sail body in the most efficient and direct way. This is exactly why all SLS sails feel even more direct compared to our regular sails. Unlike membrane or laminated sails where the sail becomes softer/spongier due to the extremely thin film.
DOUBLE D BUCKLE: Inspired by high-strength climbing harnesses and Formula 1 helmets. The exclusive, two-part metal double-D buckle on the vario top, which replaces traditional solutions. This design guarantees the best trimming characteristics and eliminates all webbing slippage.
DURATECH FOOT: Long-term guarantee for the sail foot. When starting off on the water or catching up, the foot of the sail is constantly dragged over the nonslip coating, particularly for wide boards. With the exclusive DURATECH FOOT, the seams are completely protected within a large plastic channel so that the surface cannot chafe against seams and material.
EPOXY BATTEN: Extremely stable, extremely break-resistant. Depending on the range of use, positioning in the sail and the necessary tension, the batten stress is enormous. In order to prevent breakages, we only fit into all solid battens extremely durable epoxy laminates which really can withstand anything and can live up to DUOTONE’s promises in terms of longevity.
HTS 2.0 HARNESSLINE TRIM SYSTEM: Never position your harness lines incorrectly again. Do away with the tedium of adjusting to the optimum rope position, as well as the numb forearms and the endless fiddling around. The patented print on the sail shows exactly where the centre of the harness line has to be. All you need to do is position the two ends symmetrically at the left and right of the print.
INDIVIDUAL BOOM LENGTH INDICATION: The correct boom length without the need for trial and error. Because the boom is attached to the mast at different heights depending on body size, and because this creates a different angle to the mast, the boom length will vary. Specific recommendations for the correct length are printed directly on the luff sleeve at the boom level.
MINI BATTEN: These prevent unwanted leech flutter. Short and highly effective mini-battens which provide support for the areas between the battens and prevent undesirable flutter.
MONOCOQUE FUSION BODY: No more stitched body panels > 150-200g weight saving > “play” between the panels is eliminated > fused connection even stronger than any monofilm or XPly material >> extended wind range
ONE PIECE SLEEVE: No more seam at the leading edge > 80 g lower weight > no hard spot through overlapping panels improves elasticity at the leading edge
POLYESTER WEBBING ONLY: Eliminating stretch and loss of tension. If it’s good enough for safety harnesses, it’s good enough for windsurfers! We are the only manufacturer to use only polyester webbing for the (vario) top and the tack roller. This advantage of this compared to conventional polypropylene is the negligible amount of stretch. As a result even brand new sails will retain full luff tension and will not need subsequent trimming.
SET & GO VARIO TOP: No more trial and error when trying to find the best vario top setting. Even when first rigging up, the correct length of the vario top is found straight away. Clear length indicators mark out the perfect setting with reference to the mast length used, eliminating any need for testing or re-adjustments.
SLEEVE OPENER: Frictionless insertion of the mast into the luff sleeve. An ingenious solution does away with the tedium of inserting the mast. The DUOTONE logo above the boom cutout gently opens the sleeve so that the mast can be threaded with one hand into the luff friction-free, without having to constantly make adjustments to the luff.
SUPER-LIGHT BUMPER incl. VTS slot: The lightest protector on the market. The integrated vinyl viewing window allows to spot the lower edge of the mast. Once the perfect trim has been found, the optional Velcro patch can be used to “save” this position – saving time and ensuring maximum performance.
TRIPLE TACK ROLLER 3.0: Find the perfect trim with minimal effort. The integrated, nickel-plated brass triple roller minimises the downhaul forces tremendously.
TT TOP: Improved sail control at higher winds. Designer Kai Hopf originally designed the TT TOP for the WARP. The reduced, concave shape improves tension conditions for a more effective, three-dimensional top twist. This means the top twists not only horizontally, but also vertically under strong winds. By completely neutralising gusts of wind, the rig is kept steady in the rider’s hands, and thus works in a much larger range of winds.
TWIN STRAP: This keeps the sail rolled up and holds the protector to the mast. A brilliantly simple fastening system which keeps the sail compact and closed after being rolled up and, when on the water, holds the mast protector closely to the mast.
VTS - Visual Trim System: Perfect trim and a huge range of use. You won’t find a quicker or more accurate way of trimming your sail. Even beginners can trim the sail in a matter of seconds to 100% accuracy. All you need to do is pull the luff until the top of the loose leech reaches the “lower wind limit” or “upper wind limit”. The VTS acts as a power boost, ensuring maximum performance and broader range of use.
XPLY PLUS: What would you prefer? Maximum puncture resistance and UV weathering resistance with minimum stretch? Or (theoretically) improved ripstop properties? We went with option A and developed the most durable laminate on the market. Because the factors of puncture resistance, durability and stretch evidently depend only on the thickness of the film used, we use only 150 or 100 micron thick films for our exclusive XPLY PLUS. In an extensive series of tests, we have developed the ideal combination of necessary film thickness and number of threads. The X.PLY PLUS in particular, at 150 microns in thickness, boasts durability characteristics far in excess of previous laminates at minimal weight. This is also acknowledged by all the big surfing centres and rental equipment providers around the world, who place their trust in the unbeatable quality and longevity of our sails.
iBUMPER incl. VTS slot: A real innovation that offers additional value is the new iBUMPER 2.0, since in addition to its function as a lightweight and reliable mast protector it is also useful as a trimming tool. After stretching on a new sail, the best indicator for optimum trim is the position of the mast end at the height of the protector. For this reason, the new iBUMPER 2.0 now has a vinyl viewing window so that the lower edge of the mast can be identified. Once the perfect trim has been found, the optional Velcro patch can be used to “save” this position – saving time and ensuring maximum performance.
iROCKET 2.0: Super-lightweight and aerodynamic. An inconspicuous detail with a massive impact. iROCKET 2.0 batten tensioners are super-lightweight, aerodynamic and highly stable, consisting of high-quality components such as a self-lubricating, salt-water-resistant brass nut with stainless-steel screw which can withstand all batten tensions. Furthermore, the iROCKET 2.0 is an essential component for a true windsurfing revolution. 100% correct batten tension, correctly adjusted when purchased and forever after. We calibrate each individual batten at the factory according to development specifications. And we don’t just leave it up to blind intuition either – all battens are adjusted to 100% accuracy using torque wrenches. We also apply soluble screw adhesive to the locknuts so that the tension cannot be altered. This means that the batten tension remains absolutely correct and will never have to be adjusted again. The batten key included with the sail is therefore only needed for fine tuning or in the unlikely event of a batten breakage.
VTS TAIL OUTHAUL SPECS: Each sail carries individually defined visual indications for the correct outhaul extension (requires VTS TAIL boom).
XPLY PLUS: Laminate (100/150 micron) with the lowest stretch and best UV- and puncture resistance on the market
DOUBLE SEAM TECHNOLOGY: Double the durability with half as much stretch. DUOTONE manufactures products of unmatched quality which gives our sails a significantly longer lifetime. A key feature which helps to achieve this is the triple-stitch zig-zag seams. Unlike other products with their single-seam design, these are double-seam. They cover all exposed crash areas, which increases tear resistance and reduces bending-elongation by up to 50%, boosting profile stability and performance.
