2026 Duotone Blitz

The 2026 Duotone Blitz 

The best freeride board Ocean Air has ever had? Want a board that's easy to ride, yet planes effortlessly, including though your gybe, AND has the speed to keep up with anyone? We have never ridden a board that combines this much performance, and ease of use. Part of the magic is the sublime ergonomics of the strap placement and deck shape, that puts you in a comfortable position that's vey easy to find. Yet, somehow you are still in the perfect position to push through every gust and reach incredible top speeds. All this would make the Blitz a great board, but the fact this perfect positioning also lets you rip into gybes with zero fear of the rail catching, is what puts the Blitz into that best ever conversation. One ride and you'll understand why it's quickly become a staff favorite.

Duotone Says:

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.
