Duotone gives no size for riders from 75 to 80 kg: in that range, the 5'6" is more manoeuvrable and the 5'9" gives more volume and glide; ask us if in doubt.

“The Blur D/LAB fits my heavy, powerful style perfectly. Its design and construction make it the choice for medium and large waves: from strong beach breaks to big, fast, powerful waves, I surf with the confidence of having the best gear under my feet.”
Technology and construction
- D/LAB construction: advanced carbon construction that provides agility and response for precise high-performance manoeuvres. It's Duotone's top-of-the-range line (D/LAB = Duotone Laboratory).
- Innegra D/LAB Surfboards: Innegra reinforcement in the critical areas, especially the rails, which increases impact resistance while maintaining lightness and response.
- RMF 3.0 Shock Absorber: memory foam (Reflex Memory Foam) combined with Innegra Shield: lighter without losing strength and, if you make a small dent with your heel, the foam pushes it back out over time. It filters out high-frequency vibrations for a smooth, confidence-inspiring feel when hitting the lip and landing jumps.
- Responsive Flex: optimised bamboo layers combined with composite materials for dynamic flex and torsional response: an agile, powerful board that's versatile in very different conditions.
- Grab Rails: rails designed for grabbing the board in freestyle tricks, which also make it more durable and give comfortable control while riding.
- Multibox: Futures-compatible fin boxes, with side screws and no rear tab: precise, secure mounting, and easy to remove and fit even with sand or salt. Accepts composite Futures fins or fins from other brands. TS-M set as standard.
Which one to choose?
- Blur SLS 2026: same shape and volumes with SLS construction; slightly heavier and more affordable.
