DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Comfort and Dampening
The Select Concept Blue's double concave base and cork inserts work together to absorb vibrations and dampen the ride. This means less fatigue and more comfort during choppy sessions, letting you stay out on the water longer.
Effortless Glide and Carving
With its rounded outline and Space Flex technology, this board feels incredibly fluid in turns, making carving a dream. The shape promotes a playful and accessible ride, perfect for linking precise curves with ease.
Responsive Feel and Early Planing
The basalt-integrated construction and medium flex deliver excellent responsiveness underfoot. This board gets on a plane early and provides natural pop for jumps, all while remaining forgiving on landings.
Sustainable Construction
With its Concept Blue construction, Duotone uses natural and recycled materials like basalt, cork, and bio-based epoxy to significantly reduce the board's carbon footprint. This approach strikes a perfect balance between high performance and sustainability, without compromising on strength or durability.
Control and Upwind Performance
The angular rails and shock-absorbing tips improve your upwind drive and tracking. On the water, the board feels precise and reliable, making transitions and new moves feel easier and more secure.
All-Around Versatility
The Select Concept Blue is ideal for pure freeride, carving, and general progression. Its balanced feel makes it the perfect choice for riders who want to blend performance with comfort across a wide range of conditions.
