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?
spent some time on the Blitz 104 D-Lab…
to answer your size/volume question, i would use the board width as a guideline. the 104 sails like a 63cm freerace board with a bit of extra volume that doesn't get in the way.
it's far sportier than all gens of Blasts and even Gen1 of the Jag (only version of that board i tried), but incredibly easy to ride. it will produce speed that approach slalom board level, but the rider needs to actively work and engage that mode. default mode is easy-sporty-cruisy. super fun to gybe too.
