Duotone’s Provoke 2026 is here, and it's not holding back. Built with feedback from pros like James Carew, this board is a weapon for strapless freestyle riders chasing sky-high airtime, smoother landings, and serious style points. We break down what makes the Provoke 2026 an absolute banger for your next session.
Alright, strapless freestyle junkies, time to get hyped — Duotone just dropped the Provoke 2026 and let me tell ya, it’s as spicy as a sriracha sunrise session in Cape Town.
This isn’t your average strapless surfboard. Nope. This one’s been fine-tuned with input from none other than James Carew, aka the man who defies gravity like he’s got a vendetta against it. Duotone set out to build a board that doesn’t flinch when you go full-send — and they’ve nailed it.
Let’s dive into the juicy stuff:
The Provoke 2026 starts with a fresh new outline — think a parallel rail shape that gives you that perfect combo of speed without turning you into a human propeller. Paired with a medium rocker and a bit of extra lift in the nose, she balances control and pop better than your smoothie game after a week in Brazil.
Did we mention the tail? It's wide, sharp, and mean — engineered to give you that extra “oomph” when you're loading up for big air. We’re talking explosive pop that launches you into the stratosphere and lets you hover like you hit the pause button mid-jump.
We've all had those landings where our ankles questioned every life decision. The Provoke 2026 aims to chill those moments down a notch. Thanks to its added nose rocker, it handles landings in chop like a seasoned pro. Combine that with aggressive bottom channels and you've got a board that not only helps you stick the landing but gives you enough stability to follow it up with a cheeky spin.
Durability and lightness — yeah, we’ve heard that promise before. But this board isn’t messing around. The Provoke is built using Carbon Innegra (fancy talk for super tough yet ridiculously light), plus Vacuum Epoxy Assembly to keep everything tight and responsive. Inside? A Full PVC High Impact Core. Translation? You can ride hard without worrying about trashing your gear mid-season.
This thing is basically the Chuck Norris of strapless boards. It laughs at abuse, begs for more, and still pops like it just got waxed.
If you’re just getting comfy with strapless, this might be a bit extra — unless you like learning by being tossed into the pick ’n’ mix of high-performance kiteboarding. But for intermediate to seasoned shredders who are into freestyle and want to take things higher, smoother, and gnarlier — the Provoke 2026 is your new best friend.
Whether you're training for Big Air comps or just wanna up your Insta game with tail blows and helicopter kite loops, this board's gonna turn heads and boost your confidence every session.
Lightweight, tough as nails, and dripping in performance, the Provoke 2026 takes everything we love about strapless kiting and cranks it to 11. The balance between power, control, and tech makes it a must-demo for anyone ready to ride harder and fly higher.
So, if your current board feels more like a training wheel than a freestyle weapon, it might be time to provoke a change. 😉
