The Duotone Neo D/LAB, the pinnacle of wave kite innovation and performance. Engineered with cutting-edge Aluula D/TX and Trinity TX materials, this kite represents the most refined wave kite, designed for unmatched precision and control on the water.
The Neo D/LAB sets the standard with best-in-class drift, offering ultimate wave freedom. Experience ultra-smooth and responsive handling that allows for outstanding steering response, making it the ideal choice for riders who demand the very best. With the maximum wind range in the Neo line, this kite is versatile enough to excel across various conditions. One of the key advancements of the Neo D/LAB is its sharper steering response, achieved through the incorporation of Aluula D/TX in the leading edge. This revolutionary material reduces weight while significantly increasing stiffness, allowing for an immediate transfer of steering input to the kite. The result is noticeably quicker and more direct turning, which is crucial for reactive surfing in tight sections. Subtle refinements to the arc shape and sweep angle also enhance down-the-line drive. These changes shift the kite’s position further forward in the wind window, keeping it actively engaged and pulling when riding slack lines. This design offers smoother flow and consistent forward drive on fast wave faces, elevating your surfing experience. Stability is further enhanced with improved drift and depower control. The combination of structural stiffness and aerodynamic refinement allows the kite to hold its shape when depowered, reducing deformation and flutter. This results in a cleaner and more controllable drift, particularly in offshore or gusty conditions. Furthermore, the increased torsional stiffness provided by Aluula D/TX minimizes unwanted flex in the leading edge during aggressive input. This leads to a crisper, more predictable steering feel, allowing for precise maneuvering, especially under pressure or during hard transitions.
With the Duotone Neo D/LAB, you have the ultimate wave kite at your disposal. Experience unparalleled performance and precision, designed for the most ambitious riders who seek the perfect balance of innovation and control in the waves.
