Duotone Kiteboarding Neo SLS C04 mint/blue 2023

Do you prefer to sail in the waves or on a waveboard? The new Neo SLS now drifts even better with you and rotates at right angles to its tip.

With this kite you have the perfect all-rounder for the waves. High and fast waves in South Africa or the choppy waves in the Netherlands, this kite performs very well everywhere! With still a medium bar pressure and a position a little deeper in the wind window, the kite is extremely stable and you always feel where it is. Just focus on the perfect wave ride and not on the kite. It just follows and you don't have to pay any attention.

Thanks to the Penta-Tex material (SLS) used, the kite is a lot stiffer and lighter, which benefits all the properties you want as a wave kiter.

In 2023 Duotone has balanced the wingtips by size. Broadly speaking, these have also become slightly wider. In addition, the kite now has hybrid flex struts. As a result, the kite turns even shorter than before and the drift is now maximized.

The lines always remain under tension even if you go down-the-line. The Neo has a lot of power so our advice is to sail it a size smaller than you would normally do with another brand or model.

We prefer the SLS version over the standard because of better drift and lighter feel on the wave. A D-lab variant will also become available in 2023. See the Neo D-lab for this.

What are the core properties in our experience?

• Lots of power per m2 and a size smaller to sail
• Ideal position in the wind window with good drift properties
• The kite can be felt blindly and needs no attention
• Especially in the SLS version, you always have tension on your lines
