DUOTONE
SUPER HERO M.PLUS
Duotone say, “For the fetishists among the specialists, the SUPER
HERO by Victor Fernandez is now available as a limited edition M.PLUS
in ultra light high-tech membrane construction. The membrane
body is manufactured by a highly specialized yacht sail producer on
computer controlled manufacturing plants. The result is a 20% lighter
high-end SUPER HERO. Never before has a wave sail been so light
and loose in the hand and so neutral during wave sailing, especially
since the membrane gives the sail a pleasant elastic feeling and thus
in the underpowered wind range improves the performance.”

RRD POCKET
ROCKET
RRD say, “The Pocket Rocket is an
innovative and modern concept for
windfoiling. Only 180 cm in length makes
it a lot more manoeuvrable compared
to longer boards and allows a huge
advantage in transport. The shorter board
greatly reduces friction and increases the
feeling of adrenaline when riding it. It is
a total breakthrough as it is the most fun
and accessible board for freefoiling. The
board has 122 litres of volume and thick
rails all the way from the tail to the nose
makes it very easy to use; you can uphaul
every sail size without any problem. It
allows you to keep foiling in the lightest
of winds without the need for a big sail as
you don’t need a bigger size than 6.0 to
foil in 8 knots of wind. The Pocket Rocket
180 perfectly fits inside the boot of any car
and together with our hydrofoil bag and
compact rig, you have the most unique
and modern compact quiver.”
