DESCRIPTION

SMALL TO MEDIUM WAVES / STRAPLESS FREESTYLE
SIZES – 4’11”, 5’1″, 5’3″, 5’5″

Modern high-performance compact shape, aimed at performing in small to medium waves.

The Pro Whip has undergone major development for 2020 to improve it’s surfing and handling. This was achieved by moving the wide point slightly further forward, increasing the nose rocker and decreasing the overall surface area of the nose while leaving the back half of the board essentially unchanged. The result is an extremely well-balanced board with incredible handling thanks to the straight outline in the tail, but provides explosive snap off the top and has the ability to turn tight in the pocket of very steep sections without any catching or awkwardness of a traditional compact shape. The Pro Whip is the board which blends the two worlds of compact surf and pure high performance surf seamlessly.

FEATURES

CSC DESIGN
Compact shape concept delivers direct feedback and impressive rail grip.

SNAPPY AND CARVY
Perfect for tight snaps and smooth carves.

FAST AND STABLE
Speed in combination with absolute control is the magic combination.

LIGHT TEAM CONSTRUCTION
A very light, still very robust construction with a lot of feedback for the rider.

CORK SHOCK ABSORBER 2.0
The cork shock absorber 2.0 is applied as a damper in the heel area of the surfboard to avoid heel dents.

VACUUM EPOXY CUSTOM
The best mix for a pure surf feel, but still robust and durable enough to take the impacts a kitesurf board needs to take.

SPECS

CORK SHOCK ABSORBER 2.0

Cork offers excellent absorption characteristics and reforms entirely without leaving any visible dents in contrast to PVC. Therefore, it is applied as a damper in the heel area of the surfboards.

GRAB RAILS

Grab Rails for easier freestyle tricks, durability and comfortable general riding.

TECHNORA NET

Technora is a para-aramid fibre with excellent technical properties for high performance kite surfboards. It’s high-tensile strength, good fatigue resistance and long term dimensional stability make it an ideal fibre for use in areas of boards that take repeated impact. We have oriented the Technora fibre in a way that does not affect the overall feel and flex of the board and have slightly altered our overall layup in order to not add any additional weight to the boards while still taking full advantage of the superior strength of Technora to prevent cracking and breakage.

RESPONSIVE FLEX

Using bamboo in our surf boards, we take full advantage of the dynamic qualities of this natural product. Optimized layers and the mix with composite materials help us to construct powerful, agile and versatile surf boards that come with a unique flex – responsive flex!

LIGHT TEAM CONSTRUCTION

We are using a more labor intensive, multi-step vacuum bag process that yields a super strong, lightweight board with a custom, hand sanded finish. The most substantial change to the light team construction, is that we no longer use a full bamboo sandwich. The cork shock absorber, which used to be concealed under the bamboo sandwich, is now clearly visible under the deck skin and allows the deck to flex and absorb shock like a custom PU board with minimal to no heel denting, thanks to the underlying reinforcements and the remarkable memory properties of cork. Pure surf board feel in an ultra light but durable construction!

MULTIBOX

All boards now come with our own Futures Fins compatible fin boxes. Two side set screws and no rear tab allow for a wider tolerance of fin fitting and ensure a perfect and tight fit every time whether you’re using our high quality composite fins or any stock after market Futures brand fin. Easy to install and uninstall even with Sand and Salt.

SPECS

BIG WINDS REVIEW

The 2020 Duotone Pro Whip has undergone some noticeable changes from previous versions. For one, the nose of the board is narrower and has more rocker making for better for handling in higher winds and a smoother ride in choppy conditions. Also, the wide point of the board has been moved forward, which adds to its overall stability.
The vacuum epoxy construction is the same as you will find on all of the Duotone Pro model boards. The Pro Whip also features a cork shock absorber on the deck, heel dampeners under the front foot area, and a Technora fibre net that adds durability, stiffness, and aesthetics. This lightweight flexible construction gives it an amazing feel on the water that’s similar to a traditional poly board.

 

On The Water

I’ve used previous versions of the Duotone Pro Whip and the Firewire Evo almost exclusively in the Gorge and Baja over the past few years, so I was excited to see and feel the changes in this years Pro Whip. I use the Pro Whip in everything from Gorge high winds and swell, to Oregon Coast waves, to Baja’s shore break and choppy waters. No matter what I ask this board to do, it does it – and does it well.

Bottom Line

If you are looking to do everything from strapless freestyle to wave riding to playing in swell, this board is for you. Its small stature makes it snappy in the waves, fun no matter what the conditions, and perfect for travel. If I had to pick a one board quiver, this would be it.

Need a Shipping Quote?

Contact us! We’ll use our thirty years of shipping experience to secure the lowest quote possible. Note that we do not ship used gear outside of the United States. To receive a shipping quote, tell us what you are ordering and provide a complete address. For international orders you are responsible for import duties and taxes.

Why is there no tracking info for my order on the shipper’s web page?

It can take up to 48 hours for tracking info to display from when you receive our shipping confirmation email. Rest assured, your package is en route. Also, be sure to enter the BOL # (Bill of Lading) with no spaces in the tracking field. 

How will I know which freight facility my board is being delivered to?

Your shipping confirmation email will include the freight facility’s contact info. If we are unable to find a freight facility within a 30-minute drive from you, we will reach out with other shipping options. 

How will I know when my board is ready for pickup at a freight facility? 

The freight facility will contact you when your board is ready for pickup. Be sure to bring a photo ID, and be sure to check the facility’s pickup hours. 

An employee at the freight facility is demanding I sign for my board shipment prior to me seeing it. What do I do? 

Sign your name followed by “on further inspection.” Signing in this manner offers protection. It gives us a 48 hour window for damage claims to be made with freight providers. 

My board is being delivered to my house. Its tracking info says it reached its destination, but I don’t have my board. What gives?

You will receive a call to schedule delivery soon. The call occurs shortly after your board reaches the freight company’s destination hub. Note that board deliveries require a signature, which demand a drop off appointment. If the shipping company hasn't called to schedule a delivery time, there's no need to put your life on hold by waiting at home.  

How can I protect myself (and my board) from freight damage?

Inspect the box. Look for signs of trauma like tire tread, severe creasing, or puncture holes. If these are present, and reveal fatal damage to your board, do not sign. Refuse the shipment. We will contact you, and work to get a replacement board headed your way. 

What if the box shows some wear, but it’s tough to tell if the board is damaged?

Sign your name followed by “on further inspection.” Signing in this manner offers protection. It gives us a 48 hour window for damage claims to be made with freight providers. 

And if I do find damage to my board, what then?

Send us photos. Closeups of the damaged area, and photos that show the interior and exterior box damage go far. Also, keep the packing materials. We’ll work with our shipping partners to get you either a damage credit or a replacement board. 

I received my board, but no fins, foot straps, or vent plug ...

Fins, foot straps and hardware are typically protected in cardboard sleeves, which can conceal them. Closely examine your packing materials. Each board shipment entails a thorough checklist. Everything is in there!
