BRAND-NEW AND UNIQUE
YOU KNOW THE TRADE-OFF: THE LIGHTEST BOARDS POP HIGHEST, THEN CRACK UNDER THE ABUSE OF DOUBLE AND TRIPLE MOVES. THE SKATE D/LAB REFUSES TO CHOOSE. DUOTONE'S TOP TIER MAKES IT LIGHTER, STRONGER AND MORE DIRECT UNDERFOOT, COMPACT AND RADICAL ENOUGH TO ACCELERATE, POP, SPIN AND LAND READY TO POP AGAIN. HAND-FINISHED, IMMEDIATE, PRECISE. THE WATER IS YOUR SKATEPARK.
The Skate D/LAB is Duotone's premier competition freestyle board, built for expert riders who live for new school tricks, explosive pop, and competition-level performance. Now in D/LAB construction, the highest tier in the Duotone lineup, the Skate D/LAB takes everything that defined the SLS and pushes it further: same weight but even stronger, more direct underfoot.
The Skate has defined the cutting edge of freestyle competition for decades. Its compact, radical shape is the reason: you accelerate faster, pop higher, spin quicker, and land with the control to load up and pop again immediately. That means double and triple power moves stop being ambitions and start being your set list. The finely tuned tail shape generates explosive acceleration and top speed right when you need it. The flat nose was built for sliding tricks, locking in cleanly and releasing on cue. The full tail keeps your speed alive in switch stance and through lulls, so the session flows from start to finish.
D/LAB construction takes this freestyle windsurfing board into a new dimension of durability. The board feels immediate and precise, responsive in the way only a hand-finished full custom build can be.
Available in sizes 86 / 91 / 98 / 107 liters, fin included.
Target rider: Expert and advanced freestyle windsurfers competing or training at new school level.

THE INTRODUCTION OF THE D/LAB BOARDS IN 2024 MARKED THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA. NOW, IN 2026, WE ARE EXCITED TO PRESENT THE BIGGEST UPDATE IN OUR BOARD HISTORY EVER. APART FROM ALL NEW SHAPES, NO STONE WAS LEFT UNTURNED AND WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT YOU SOME UNPRECEDENTED AND TRULY UNIQUE FEATURES, PROCESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES.
360° R&D
With designer Kai Hopf and our product managers Dani Aeberli and Marco Lang, one and the same team is now responsible for the board, rig and even fin development. This results in an unrivalled board-rig ecosystem in which all DUOTONE products are really matching 100% now.
Besides this perfect match, the other driving force behind our R&D is the relentless push of our wave team around Victor Fernandez and Liam Dunkerbeck for better and better products.
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY
Unlike the industry-standard semi custom technology, all our boards are now produced in a full custom technology which results in the best weight vs. strength ratio.
AI_BOARD_3D DESIGN SOFTWARE
In contrast to the industry-standard Shape3d program, our own exclusive 3D CAD software is based on math data-driven input. This allows us to cross-check the outcome using artificial intelligence to ensure maximum precision. Apart from being much more accurate and faster, complex 3D design tasks such as our ground-breaking SYNCED CURVES CONCEPT would otherwise have been simply impossible to realize.
CNC SHAPED ONLY
All our boards are CNC shaped now which is not only much more accurate, but opens more decisive advantages compared to the traditional mould construction method which allows us to implement new shapes at any time.
PRODUCTION FOCUSED DEVELOPMENT
Every single prototype is made in our exclusive factory using the exact same process and materials as the production boards. This way, each prototype has exactly the same weight and flex and therefore feels identical to the board you get.
MADE FOR THE FEW - MADE FOR YOU!
FULL CUSTOM D/LAB TECHNOLOGY
CNC shaped using our most high-end layup and entirely handcrafted, identical to high-end custom made boards for an unmatched weight-durability ratio.
CUSTOMIZED
A unique serial number makes it your personal dream board.
PROVEN & TESTED SHAPES
Proven and tested shapes from the brand with the longest experience in windsurf board design. Just one millimeter or a mismatched fin/mast-track position can turn a magic board into an under-performer. This way, you or a potential second-hand customer know exactly what you are getting.
MADE TO ORDER
All D/LAB boards are made to order. Your board will be scheduled for production AFTER you place your order and will be produced EXCLUSIVELY for you. Therefore, delivery can take up to 18 weeks (depending on when we get a production slot for your board).
