Duotone Crush SLS 2026
Item no. 42260-3609
Overview
The Crush SLS 2026 is a dedicated prone-foiling board engineered to turn tiny, messy waves into makeable rides. A flat rocker and single concave to flat bottom create paddle speed and glide; the raised nose resists pearling through whitewater and during touchdowns. A compact outline with wider nose and tail boosts wave entry and stability, while tail cut-outs release cleanly for earlier lift-off. The SLS layup keeps weight low and response high, with lightweight carbon foil tracks for a direct, connected feel. Built purely for prone: no footstrap inserts = lower swing weight.
Key Features
- Flat rocker + single concave → flat for maximum paddle speed and glide.
- Raised nose to prevent catches in whitewater and during re-entries.
- Wide nose & tail for early wave pick-up and stability on take-off.
- Tail cut-outs for clean release and earlier take-offs.
- Slightly raised front-foot angle—quicker response and efficient pumping.
- SLS Biax Carbon PVC Sandwich—light, stiff and durable.
- Carbon foil tracks—direct feel and reliable load transfer.
- No strap inserts—pure prone focus and reduced weight.
Who It’s For
Surfers focused on prone foiling who want an easy-paddling, early-lifting board for small, soft waves that still rips when it stands up. Ideal as a first dedicated prone board or as a nimble low-volume step-down.
Crush SLS vs. Sky Surf SLS
- Crush SLS: paddle speed + early entry with wider nose/tail and flat rocker.
- Sky Surf SLS: more compact, trick-focused feel for critical pockets and airs.

Construction Highlights

- Soft rail apex—forgiving on touchdowns and when paddling out.
Included / Setup
- Crush SLS 2026 prone foil board
- Track hardware (foil and leash sold separately)
- Leash plug; no footstrap inserts (prone-only design)
Setup Tips
- Start with the mast centered in the tracks; move forward for earlier lift or back for speed/control.
- Pair with a mid/high-aspect front wing for glide in weak surf; use a shorter fuse for tighter carves.
- Ride the 4’5” if you want easier paddle-in or extra stability; choose 4’2” for the most agile feel.
