The Duotone SUPER_HERO has it all: Unbeatable handling, Neutrality and minimum weight without sacrificing durability. The German company says that it is the most versatile wave sail and with the widest wind range they have ever made, who therefore recommend without reservation for all conditions and for all riders!
But one thing does not change: the new SUPER_HERO remains the Wave sailing of the World Cup par excellence, with optimal performance in all wave conditions in the world.
Thanks to the completely neutral and balanced loading area, to the numerous constructive changes, material optimizations and state-of-the-art lightweight construction, The unparalleled feeling of neutrality in the hands, stability and control in every situation make it the new favorite wing of three-time PWA Wave World Champion Victor Fernandez.
Because? Maneuvers very smoothly, it is as responsive as a sail 3 Slats in drift conditions & go and has a strong bite at the decisive moment. It is direct when pumping, plana soon, develops a strong push on the wave, It is stable and offers special neutrality for superior control due to its centered load position.
In addition to performance optimization, Reducing the weight of the sail has always been a primary objective. With a modified arrangement of panels, Reinforcement patch with high-strength high-modulus fibers “Made in Germany” and a new tree pocket construction, designer Kai Hopf achieved a weight reduction of 200-300 g!
Unlike other brands, The thickness of the fabric and films used has not been reduced and therefore the well-known durability of the SUPER_HERO has been fully maintained.: for this reason we talk about LIGHT CONSTRUCTION DONE WELL!
Performance, Dynamics and maneuverability benefit from changing the length of the luff and the new construction of the shaft pocket, Seamless on the leading edge (one-piece pocket), that allows a millimeter tuning and a refined shape, with the result of a sensitive and more harmonious SLR.
Profile depth has been slightly reduced, creating a slightly smaller volume, that simplifies maneuverability, Facilitates control in over-sailing conditions and offers maximum control during the most demanding jumps and in case of powerful waves. Thanks to a fuller pocket more elastic, The new profile works extremely efficiently and does not lose propulsion in low power conditions.
Every single size of the SUPER_HERO is perfectly tuned and treated in detail. The rotation of the slats remains smooth even with minimal boss tension and the pen works very actively, absorbing the strongest gusts and maintaining acceleration. Therefore, You can easily choose a smaller size than wave sails from other vendors.
An important note:
DUOTONE is the only brand to offer two different wave sails: the SUPER_HERO with a centered and low loading zone and the HD SUPER_STAR with an advanced loading zone. Each sail has specific characteristics, behaves differently and conveys its own sensation, therefore it is not advisable to mix sails with different loading areas in your quiver, otherwise you have to get used to them every time you change sails. This also applies to the combination of DUOTONE sails with sails from other brands..
