Description
Light, direct and undyed
The Unit SLS Concept Blue 2027 is the Concept Blue version of the Unit SLS: the same design and the same light PentaTX construction with an Aluula Gold centre panel, with the undyed canopy of Duotone's Concept Blue line. A shorter centre strut for compact handling, more low-end power in the small sizes and a very direct response.
PentaTX + Aluula Gold · Sizes 2.0 – 6.5 m² · Wind 7 – 45 knots · Fusion boom or handles
Who it's for
- Intermediate and advanced riders who want to take the next step in freeride, freestyle and waves.
- Anyone looking for a lighter, stiffer wing than the original Unit so it feels more connected and reactive.
- Anyone riding small sizes who wants to get going sooner and not run out of power in transitions.
What makes it special
01 Lightweight precision
The PentaTX frame with an Aluula Gold centre panel increases stiffness and reduces weight: a very reactive, connected ride.
02 More low-end power
Keeping the original Unit's leading edge diameter on the small sizes gives more drive to get going sooner and not lose power in transitions.
03 Compact handling
The shorter centre strut reduces the wing's swing weight: more manoeuvrable and smoother through gusts and lulls.
04 Direct response
Optimised canopy tension and wingtip twist improve profile stability and give a precise response.
05 Stable when flagged out
The refined profile distribution improves efficiency and keeps the wing balanced when surfing waves or swell.
06 Versatile
Designed for progressing in freeride, freestyle and waves: more power, direct handling and low weight across all disciplines.
Where it shines: demanding freeride, jumps and freestyle tricks, and waves or swell with the wing flagged out.

*Wing weight without handles or boom. Data from Duotone's official chart. The Fusion handles and boom are not included: the columns show the size Duotone recommends for each wing size (the 2.0 only takes a boom). Duotone recommends a 4" (M) leash up to the 4.5 and a 5" (L) leash from the 5.0. Duotone doesn't publish a rider weight per size: choose based on your weight and usual wind and, if you're torn between two sizes, ask us. Check the selector for the sizes and colours available in store.
“The lightweight construction and direct response make it feel incredibly connected. I always know exactly where the wing is, no matter how hard I push.”
Technology and construction
- PentaTX frame with Aluula Gold centre panel: the SLS construction combines light PentaTX (135 g) and an Aluula Gold centre panel (82 g) to increase stiffness, reduce weight and give a very lively response.
- Shorter centre strut: a more compact wing with less swing weight: more manoeuvrable and smoother through gusts and lulls.
- Refined profile distribution: less depth in the centre and more towards the quarters of the wing: more efficient power and more stability when flagging the wing out.
- Optimised canopy tension and wingtip twist: cleaner aerodynamics, a more stable profile and direct response for precise control across the whole range.
- New window layout: better visibility on the water without losing canopy tension or performance.
- MOD3s canopy: high-performance fabric that maintains canopy tension, profile stability and durability over time.
- Fusion boom or handles option: lets you fit a boom or handles on the same wing and adapt it to the way you ride.
- Wide leading edge handle: comfortable one-handed control and intuitive wing positioning while surfing or flagging out.
- Moulded mini batten pockets: help maintain canopy stability and the wing's performance over the long term.
The Unit SLS 2027 on the water
Which one to choose?
- Unit SLS 2027: the same wing in its light lime and grey-green colours.
- Unit 2027: the original construction, more affordable and very durable, with the same 2027 design.
- Unit D/LAB 2027: full Aluula Gold frame and a slimmer leading edge: even lighter, stiffer and faster. From 3.5 to 6.5 m².
- Unit SLS Concept Blue 2026: the previous season's Concept Blue version.
Pair it with: the Fusion boom or the Fusion handle set (not included with the wing), the Leash Wrist Coiled wrist leash, a board such as the Sky Style SLS 2027 or the Skybrid SLS 2027 and the Duotone pump.
Frequently asked questions
What size Unit SLS Concept Blue 2027 do I need?+
It depends on your weight, your board and your usual wind. As a guide, Duotone gives the 5.0 a range of 10 to 25 knots and the 4.0 14 to 30 knots. With a light SLS, many riders combine two sizes to cover the whole year. If in doubt, ask us with your weight and your area.
Does the wing come with handles or a boom?+
No. It's sold without handles or boom so you can choose the Fusion system: M handles (43/31 cm) for the 2.5 and 3.0, L handles (55/31 cm) from 3.5 to 6.5, and the S boom (72 cm) for the 2.0, M (84 cm) for the 2.5 and 3.0 and L (96 cm) from 3.5 to 6.5.
What is the Concept Blue version?+
It's Duotone's line with an undyed canopy. The wing shares its design, construction and dimensions with the Unit SLS 2027; only the canopy finish changes.
What does the SLS construction offer over the original Unit?+
The PentaTX frame with an Aluula Gold centre panel increases stiffness and reduces weight. In practice, the wing responds sooner, gives better feedback and feels more connected, especially when you push hard in jumps and tricks.
SLS or D/LAB?+
The SLS keeps the original Unit's leading edge diameter on the small sizes for more low-end power, and goes down to the 2.0. The D/LAB uses a full Aluula Gold frame and a slimmer leading edge: less drag, more speed and the lowest weight in the range, for very demanding riders.
