I've got surfer's ear myself, so this one's personal. Cold water and wind cause it across every watersport, not just surfing. Here's what it is, the universal earplugs we stock, and the custom-mould route I actually use.

Duotone's new-for-2027 Trace SLS is a dedicated wave wing foil board, sitting between the Sky Style SLS and Paradox SLS. Here's how it compares to both, and to the Skybrid SLS.

The 2027 Duotone wings and wing boards land today. The Unit D/LAB runs a full Aluula Gold frame at 82g, all three Units get a shorter strut and the new MOD3s canopy, and the Skybrid D/LAB sheds over 2kg.

The 2027 Duotone boards, bars and bindings land today. The Select SLS gets a completely new wider outline, the NTT 360 binding brings one-handed dial adjustment, and there's a first Big Air-specific board handle.

The 2027 wave kites are here. The Neo SLS gets a one-piece centre strut for more torsional flex, the Dice SLS gets a revised strut layout for calmer flight, and the standard Neo returns with a new design.
