Since introducing the ULTRA-HMPE™ ultralight Dyneema™ construction, the thought on all our top wave-riders minds was “wouldn’t it be sick to build the DUALIST in the Ultra construction”, so we did it! The 2026 S2Maui DUALIST-ULTRA must be the lightest and most agile wave-riding sail on the planet and is a perfect example of S2Maui’s passion for innovative design and continuous search for the next performance breakthrough. Specialized for down-the-line, wave riding purists, the sensation of the S2Maui 2-batten DUALIST can only be described as insanely light and agile with tons of drive. These characteristics, combined with the quick response of a tighter leech and instant power/depower of the 2-batten skeleton, certainly give you some new angles and opens your mind to possibilities that didn’t exist before. It provides an advantage for fitting into “unmakeable” sections of the wave and leaves you scratching your head, thinking “did I really pull that off?” We are having lots of fun with these at Ho’okipa.

Russ Faurot:
“The Dualist is basically my down the line dream sail. It’s an extreme design and I had no idea what to expect when first trying it, but it blew me away. It’s incredibly light, very stable, and has the perfect amount of drive. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

Artur Szpunar:
We were all very excited to get these on the water! The ULTRA Dyneema™ material suits a wave riding sail perfectly and with only 2-battens, it’s hard to comprehend how insanely light the DUALIST ULTRA feels without trying it! Stability in the 2-batten skeleton of the DUALIST is made possible by the application of our center-of-effort balanced, FocusPoint™ profile shaping method. This must be the lightest, most maneuverable wave sail on the water – a game changer in terms of agility on the wave. Handles smoothly even in the gusts.
