The 2026 Duotone NOW AIR SLS Package is a premium inflatable paddleboard package specifically designed for young paddlers who want maximum performance with minimum weight. Combining an ultra-light construction, compact pack size, and stable all-round shape, the NOW AIR SLS empowers kids to transport, set up, and enjoy their own paddleboard with confidence.
Built around a Malibu-inspired outline, the board delivers excellent stability and easy handling for beginners while offering enough performance for more advanced young riders to explore flatwater cruising, family adventures, and even their first small waves. At just 5 kg, it is one of the lightest youth-specific inflatable paddleboards available, making it easy to carry to the beach, lake, or river without assistance.
