DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The high-end allround performer.
The Blur D/LAB handles a wide variety of conditions, from small surf to overhead waves. Sky Solbach designed it, and James Carew, the big wave hunter on the Duotone team, has made it his go-to board. This is the board to grab when you can only bring one.
The New 2027 Rocker Line
This is the big update for the new model year. Duotone has refined the rocker line to generate speed efficiently while maintaining excellent directional stability. The board stays lively and predictable when you accelerate along the wave, which is exactly what you want from an allround board.
The Round Tail
The rounded tail increases grip and forward drive. It allows for fluid rail-to-rail transitions and controlled turns in all conditions. This is what allows the Blur to remain readable in big waves, where a wider tail would stall.
Carbon, Innegra, and stringer.
The +/- 45° carbon, carbon stringer, Innegra wrap, and +/- 45° fiberglass create a light, stiff board that transmits every input. Innegra dampens vibrations and improves durability, which is crucial for gear designed for aggressive riding.
The RMF 3.0
The Reflex Memory Foam Shock Absorber 3.0 absorbs impacts and reduces chatter. In chop or after a landing, it keeps your foot planted and your trajectory clean. On a board used in all conditions, this comfort translates into longer sessions.
Longer Sizes Than Its Siblings
Available in 5'3-inch at 20.77 liters, 5'6-inch at 24.14 liters, and 5'9-inch at 27.83 liters. The Blur picks up where the Whip and Volt leave off: it's sized for performing in big waves, not just re-accelerating in light conditions. Your choice depends on your body size and the dominant conditions at your spot.
