DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A board designed for pump foil and dock start.
The Duotone Strider SLS 2026 is a compact, high-performance board designed specifically for pump foil and dock start. Its short shape and 14-litre volume strike a perfect balance between low weight, stiffness and control. It's the perfect board for stringing together effortless dock starts, re-accelerating, and linking long glides.
Biax Carbon Construction: Lightweight Performance.
The Strider SLS features a Biax Carbon Sandwich construction, reducing its total weight by 200 to 300 grams compared to previous models. This design delivers an instant response, improved energy transfer, and a direct feel underfoot. It makes every pump more efficient, smoother and more precise.
Extreme stiffness and power transfer.
Thanks to its high-density core, the Strider SLS combines strength with exceptional stiffness. This internal structure ensures direct power transfer to the foil, which is essential for maintaining speed and extending your glide. Even after powerful starts, the board remains stable with predictable handling.
Ergonomic and comfortable rails.
The rails on the Strider SLS have been specially shaped for optimal grip. For both dock starts and water starts, the board is easy to grab and feels natural in your hands. This ease of handling translates into smoother, more confident starts.

DUOTONE STRIDER SLS 2026 FAQ
No, the Strider SLS is designed for pump foil and dock start, disciplines that require solid foiling skills. For beginners, we recommend the Sky Air or Sky Start DST models.
The Strider SLS is optimized for pump foil and dock start with a compact shape (3'4-inch, 14 L). The Strider Wake SLS is more versatile (for wake, pump, tow, and kite) with a slightly larger shape (3'10-inch, 17 L) and features geared towards aerial tricks.
The Strider SLS is primarily designed for pump foil and dock start. For kite foil, the Strider Wake SLS is more suitable thanks to its shape optimized for towed disciplines.
No, the Strider SLS is sold without a foil or footstraps. However, the inserts are compatible with most foils and footstraps on the market.
Pump foiling and dock starts don't require buoyancy. The minimal volume reduces the board's weight and drag, which optimises energy transfer to the foil for more efficient pumping.
