DUOTONE SUPER HERO 2020
Duotone tell us, “The SUPER HERO has simply everything: low weight, quick responsiveness like a three-batten design and the stability of a five-batten one. The SUPER HERO is THE ultimate wave sail which always performs optimally in all wave conditions. The perfectly balanced sail is the personal favourite of PWA wave triple world champion Victor Fernandez. The SUPER HERO’s consistent evolution makes it an even better World Cup sail with an extremely wide range of use in the waves. The specially developed profile blows out very efficiently and produces high propulsion even when underpowered.” www.duotonesports.com
FANATIC 2020 FALCON
Fanatic tell us, “The Falcon TE´s are our racing machines, designed with only one purpose in mind: putting you on the top of the podium. To achieve this requires blistering acceleration, warp speed in total control, and the ability to gybe with 100% focus on the mark and zero focus on the board. Our R&D team has worked tirelessly; testing, tweaking and tuning every mm of the Falcon TE to make sure they leave all other boards in their wake. This year we complete our update of the range with all new 80, 90 and 97 litre models.” www.fanatic.com
