NEO D/LAB
WAVE
The Duotone Neo D/LAB is the most advanced wave kite in the Neo range, crafted with premium materials to optimize performance. It delivers precise control, exceptional drift, and unmatched responsiveness for pro riders tackling any wave conditions.
OVERVIEW
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.
KEY FEATURES
Ultra-Smooth and Responsive Handling
Tuned for immediate reaction and stability, the Neo D/LAB offers fluid, reactive steering and a balanced, composed feel across all maneuvers.
Intuitive Bar Feedback for Total Wave Focus
Clean, direct bar feedback delivers a natural and confident connection to the kite—allowing precise timing and control when navigating waves.
The Most Refined Wave Kite
The most refined wave kite in the Duotone range, delivering unmatched precision and performance for riders who demand top-tier control and responsiveness in the surf.
Best-In-Class Drift
Maintains smooth, forward-pulling drift—even with slack lines—making it ideal for aggressive down-the-line riding and offshore conditions.
Outstanding Steering Response
Thanks to advanced structural materials and design, the kite reacts instantly to bar input—ensuring sharp, controlled turns in the most critical moments.
Maximum Wind Range in the Neo line
Its lightweight yet rigid frame provides exceptional depower and shape retention, resulting in reliable performance and control from light breeze to strong wind.
Anti Snag
The Anti Snag webbing is preventing the lines from tangling around the tip of the kite. Waterstarts are made easier and safety is increased.
Kook Proof Connectors
The kook proof line connection points prevent accidents by guaranteeing that you cannot accidentally connect your lines incorrectly when rigging your kite.
Flex Struts
The counterpart to a stiff frame are the Flex Struts, between middle and tip struts. They ensure a direct and very reactive feel of SLS kites. The agility of a three strut kite, combined with the stiffness and the solid frame of a 5 strut kite. A softer material enables the Flex Struts to bend and twist in a defined way. Steering impulses are transformed smoothly and fast into turning actions.
