DUOTONE SOLEIL CONCEPT BLUE
Concept Blue
Two of our most popular twin tips are now part of the Concept Blue range, featuring new materials for kiteboards: Flax and Basalt. The Flax plant grows exceedingly fast; it can be harvested after just 100 days, which means it uses fewer resources to get to the finished product. For the twin tips, we are using Flax Fibre to completely replace Glass Fibre in the production process; it offers similar properties, but with many added benefits. It is a natural material that is eco-friendly to create, far more so than traditional glass fibre. Additionally it offers superior dampening capabilities compared to Glass Fibre and has excellent torsional flex characteristics. These attributes make it a great material to use in our twin tips.
We are combining Flax Fibre with Basalt Fibre. Basalt is another natural fibre, which is created from volcanic rocks. We combine it with Flax Fibre to increase the torsional and longitudinal stiffness. The combination of Flax and Basalt allows us to reduce the overall CO2 footprint of the products we create and also to better control the strength and flex characteristics of the board, maintaining a sporty performance and giving you a better ride. Our Concept Blue boards are produced using 100% solar energy to further enhance our commitment to sustainablity. The power needed in any production facility is often more polluting than the final product. Switching to solar energy is another step towards a more sustainable future.
Soleil
As a female kiteboarder, it’s essential to have gear designed to suit your smaller frame and weight; otherwise, you will be riding a board that is too stiff and hard to carve. That’s where the new Soleil comes in, a board designed by women for women. With its narrower outline, you’ll have loads of fun carving from rail to rail, while the larger Space Flex windows in the tips ensure you have a smooth ride in all conditions. The top deck has also been changed and is now asymmetrical, focusing the flex on the heel edge of the board, making it easier to edge and pop. For 2024 the Soleil has been added to the Concept Blue range, featuring a more sustainable construction technique that offers plenty of performance. Flax Fibre replaces the traditional glass cloth and offers excellent dampening capabilities for a smooth ride. In addition, Basalt Stringers replace the carbon beam to provide a smooth but engaging ride while being made from natural volcanic rock that is far more sustainable. Ideal for freeride, big air and cruising, the Soleil is the perfect board to help you take your riding to the next level.
