DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Comfort and Cushioning
The Select Concept Blue features a double concave base and cork in the landing zones, significantly reducing vibrations and improving dampening. This means less fatigue and more comfort on choppy sessions, letting you ride longer and stronger.
Effortless Glide and Carving
Its rounded outline and Space Flex technology make this board feel incredibly fluid in turns. Carving becomes a dream. The shape promotes a playful and accessible ride, perfect for linking precise curves with ease.
Responsive Feel and Early Planing
The basalt-integrated construction and medium flex deliver excellent responsiveness underfoot. This board excels at early planing and provides natural pop for jumps, all while remaining forgiving on landings.
Construction and Eco-Commitment
With the Concept Blue, Duotone utilizes natural and recycled materials like basalt, cork, and bio-sourced epoxy to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. This innovative approach balances high performance with a sustainable ethos, without compromising strength or longevity.
Enhanced Control While Riding
Angular rails and absorption tips boost upwind performance and directional stability. On the water, the board remains precise and secure. This makes transitions and maneuvers smoother and more confident.
Versatility of Use
The Select Concept Blue is ideal for pure freeride and carving. It also helps with overall progression. Its balanced behavior makes it perfectly suited for riders who want to combine performance and comfort across a variety of sessions.
