Description
The DUOTONE-SUPER_HERO SLS gives you the freedom to ride with your style. A direct connection to your sail, thanks to the lightning fast reflex reaction of our new fusion technology. Be careful though that your sail does not think faster than you do now!
Using the SUPER_HERO SLS for the first time it feels as if your body becomes united with the sail and you are truly connected with the waves. The lightning quick reflex reactions without any sacrifice in control is a real game changer, so much so, all of our Pro Team will be using the SUPER_HERO SLS in 2024

SAIL DESIGN
Sail designing consists of 3 factors: the SAIL SHAPING, the TECHNOLOGY and the MATERIALS used to convert that shaping into a physical product. This shaping concept is the culmination of over a decade of development with both the SUPER_HERO and the SUPER_STAR – combining the best aspects of both sails. Because we are fulfilling all our windsurfing wishes, we designed a SIZE-SPECIFIC DRAFT LOCATION. Just think about your own experiences:
- The smaller the sail gets, the more important control becomes.
- Conversely, the bigger the sail, the more important planing performance and light weight feeling become.
Therefore, the smaller sizes up to 4.5 have a low and centred draft position, similar to the original SUPER_HERO, which gives you maximum control and neutrality, especially when conditions get rough. However, from sizes 5.0 and bigger, the draft position gets gradually shifted slightly up and forward from size to size. Thus, the 5.7 ended up with a draft position quite similar to that of the SUPER_STAR. The higher draft lifts the board, improving planing performance. It also makes the sail feel even lighter in your hands, which is especially important to compensate for the increased physical weight that larger sails come with. With the brand new MONOCOQUE FUSION BODY we were finally able to eliminate all stitched body panels.
The final step was then to define the MATERIALS. Fortunately, with the SUPER_STAR SLS we had already found the ultimate material mix. All our products are designed and engineered according to our motto “LIGHT DONE RIGHT”.
ATTENTION: since the mast geometry and length (= stiffness) depend on the sail design, size and luff curve the sails will NOT work with any masts outside the recommendations!
