2027 Duotone Blitz D/LAB (MTO, incl. fin)

EAGLE or BLITZ - which one is the right freeride><freerace board for you?

Where you come from >< Where it will take you

1) EAGLE: IT’S ALL ABOUT PLANING

Where you come from: you had your first Windsurfing experience and are capable of staying upwind. There is no other board which will help you to experience the gliding/planing sensation in such a short time than the EAGLE.

Where it will take you: besides getting planing, jibing is the second strength of the EAGLE. But it’s not just made for learning to (power)jibe but will even accompany you up to freerace blasting and laydown jibing

Where you come from: you are comfortable of sailing in the foot straps then the BLITZ is your performance machine.

Where it will take you: the BLITZ will instantly make you a faster sailor. Since it’s also very easy to jibe it will be your partner from your first power jibes up to pro level laydown race jibes. Partnered with a high performance fin and a freerace sail you might even become the fastest guy at your spot with the BLITZ, whilst still maintaining the comfort of a freeride board.

When designing the BLITZ, the key concept was to make a board with maximum performance, yet minimal effort that maintains control over the widest possible wind range. But how could we achieve a board that works in such a wide range of conditions, with such a broad range of user levels?

Firstly, the BLITZ follows the same VOLUME YET CONTROL CONCEPT like the EAGLE. This means you can easily choose a 10 liter bigger board compared to other brands without losing any control in overpowered conditions. By gaining some more liters, the board feels more stable underfoot in non-planing conditions, and also gets planing sooner than boards with less liters without compromising the high-end performance and control.

Additionally the BLITZ can be gybed aggressively in experienced hands but also feels easy and smooth for intermediate riders due to the wide tail. This allows you a steady progression through all levels of the jibing process, without ever “out-growing” the board.

And finally, we have incorporated several features from our World Cup Slalom boards:

The racier/boxier rails and a further outboard strap position allow the rider to push harder to let the board fly over the fin for increased top speed.

The 2 STEP CUTOUTS further reduce the drag when going full speed to give you the edge over your friends.

The RECESSED MAST TRACK AERA lowers the rig connection, boosting control and aerodynamics by “closing the gap”.

Maximum control and predictable behavior over a maximum wind-range also make the BLITZ the ideal companion for long distance blasts in total control.

The insane broad range of use can be extended even further by exchanging the fin which has a noticeable effect on the characteristics of the board:

The F_RIDE fin that comes with the board makes the BLITZ very comfortable to ride and more forgiving to jibe.

As an aftermarket fin the BLITZ can be partnered with our RACE D/LAB fin developed by Dani Aeberli and tested by Jordy Vonk. With this fin the BLITZ becomes a freerace machine that is hard to beat.

With this wide range of features, the BLITZ provides endless hours of performance freeride >< freerace fun and will accompany you on your windsurfing journey to become a faster sailor.
