Duotone wouldn’t be Duotone Windsurfing if innovation wasn’t at the forefront of what they do, and thus pushing the boundaries and finding new ways to bring the highest tech and constructions to the mass market was a major mission in the Duotone Boards Project. This is D/LAB – the combination of CUSTOM-MADE CNC CONSTRUCTION with over 40 years of trusted shapes and designs.
Do you want to have the lowest possible weight combined with maximum stiffness and durability even the most high-end custom board maker can promise?
Look no further because here comes the D/LAB board range. At DUOTONE only real game-changer products qualify to carry the D/LAB logo. So what is it that is so special about these boards to allow them to become the first D/LAB products under DUOTONE Windsurfing? During the last 3 years our product manager boards Dani Aeberli and our QC specialist Vasin Siritho have worked on a new technology which is exclusive for DUOTONE. We call this CUSTOM-MADE CNC SANDWICH. Alongside this we are also using a SINGLE PROCESS LAYUP and shape/size specific PVC plates to ultimately make the boards lighter but stronger.
GRIP D/LAB IN A NUTSHELL
The GRIP D/LAB boards are the same, trusted GRIP shapes which you have seen in the SLS Premium Sandwich Construction, but lighter, stiffer and stronger thanks to our D/LAB Custom-Made Construction. The result speaks for itself since the D/LAB boards are approx. 500 grams lighter than our SLS boards and up to a full kilo lighter than any other serial production board. It is truly the first time that a production board can compete
even with the lightest custom boards out there. Yet all of this is achieved without any sacrifice in durability since we always follow our core motto LIGHT DONE RIGHT.

“IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE D/LAB IS HAVING THE SAME SHAPE AS THE SLS BOARDS BUT HAVING A MUCH BETTER PERFORMANCE ON THE WATER.
THE NEW CONSTRUCTION IS A REAL GAMECHANGER FOR ME.
THE D/LAB BOARDS COMBINED WITH THE SUPER_HERO SLS WILL HELP ME TO REACH MY ULTIMATE GOAL - WORLD CHAMPION."
