The Neo SLS is a precision wave kite for committed riders needing rapid steering, dependable drift and a stable canopy during powered turns. It is intended for aggressive down-the-line surfing and strapless freestyle, combining a broad wind range with structural support for variable conditions.
Materials and Canopy Control
Penta TX and Trinity TX create a lighter, stiffer Strong Light Superior structure. Lightweight battens and targeted trailing-edge reinforcement increase canopy stability when the kite is loaded through a hard turn. Better shape retention keeps the intended profile intact so the rider can hold a line without the canopy becoming unsettled.
Hybrid Flex Strut
The Hybrid Flex Strut releases energy quickly during steering input. Controlled flex generates an explosive turning response for tight manoeuvres and rapid transitions. Clear bar feedback indicates kite position, which is important when attention is directed at the wave.
Drift and Variable Wind
Structural tuning improves composure in gusts and makes power delivery more consistent. The Neo SLS drifts as lines soften during down-the-line riding yet remains ready for immediate correction. Responsive steering and a supported canopy cover powered wave riding, lighter sections and strapless aerial moves.
Sizes and Setup
The 2026 Neo SLS is available in 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 metre sizes, covering high-wind surf through to lighter wave and strapless conditions.
Summary
The Neo SLS is a responsive wave and strapless-freestyle kite for riders prioritising precise placement and drift. Penta TX, Trinity TX, trailing-edge control and the Hybrid Flex Strut provide fast turning, clear feedback, stable shape retention and composed gust handling.
