The forum section of the Duotone website has comments from the Duotone team that the Blitz SLS version is due out in April but sounds like some shops in Europe are getting them already.

Their website does not inspire confidence. This is the product manager Daniel Aeberli's comments about the Blast. And following that, his comments about the Blitz. Spot the one word change.
?THE BLAST SURPRISES ME EACH AND EVERY TIME: WHEN YOU ARE CAPABLE OF SAILING IN THE STRAPS AND BEING FAST IS YOUR TOP PRIORITY THE BLAST MIGHT BE THE LAST BOARD YOU'LL NEED. BECAUSE THE RANGE OF USE IS JUST INSANE: THE BLAST IS EXTREMELY CONTROLLABLE WHICH IMMEDIATELY MAKES YOU A FASTER SAILOR. ALSO, JIBING IS SUPER EFFORTLESS, WHICH HELPS BOTH JIBE BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED RACE JIBERS TO INCREASE THEIR SUCCESS RATE. AND FINALLY PARTNERED WITH A HIGH PERFORMANCE FIN THERE IS NEARLY NO LIMIT TO THE SPEED POTENTIAL OF THE BLAST.? - Daniel Aeberli - Product Manager Boards

Been looking at upgrading my Fanatic Blast 115 which I’ve had since 2022 to something abit racier. It’s the heavier cheaper version but absolutely loved it once it’s up and planing. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience of the new Duotone Blitz which appears to be their replacement of the Blast and performance wise is intended to sit somewhere between the Blast and the Jag…so abit racier than the Blast. Sounds ideal. Also any views on Duotone’s SLS construction?
