DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Wave benchmark for over a decade.
For over a decade, the Duotone Neo has set the standard for Wave performance, racking up countless World Cup victories and multiple World Titles in Wave and Strapless Freestyle. World Champions like James Carew, Matchu Lopes, and Pedro Matos choose the Neo. It remains one of the most accomplished and reliable wave kites ever created, perfect for riders who demand absolute control, drift, and confidence.
Smooth and predictable handling.
Designed for modern wave riding and progressive strapless, the Neo offers exceptionally smooth and predictable handling. This lets you focus fully on the wave rather than the kite. Its stable and balanced design provides calm and intuitive control in gusty wind, critical sections, and technical surf maneuvers. You'll have total confidence, even when pushing hard in turns.
Exceptional down-the-line drift.
One of the Neo's major characteristics is its exceptional drift. It floats effortlessly down-the-line with minimal lines tension. This allows you to surf naturally without being pulled off the wave. Whether carving powerful bottom turns, attacking steep sections, or riding directly towards the kite, the Neo maintains remarkable stability and responsiveness with every movement.
Progressive power and easy re-acceleration.
Power delivery remains smooth and progressive across the entire wind range, without jerks or aggressive pull. This controlled response lets you maintain balance and precision in critical surf maneuvers. It also offers excellent control for strapless freestyle tricks. An optimized profile and refined bridle also ensure quick and easy re-acceleration, even in the shore break.
