Duotone Neo SLS 2025

Caring for your Duotone Neo SLS

Always pack up the kite after use, and avoid leaving it exposed to direct sunlight on the beach – UV rays break down the canopy material over time.

• Rinsing: Rinse the kite with fresh water after sessions in salt water, and let it dry completely before packing it away. Clean spots with mild soapy water – avoid strong cleaning products and washing machines.
• Drying: Dry the kite in the shade or indoors, hanging or lying flat. Never let it dry in direct sunlight or on a heat source, and never roll it up while it’s wet.
• Storage: Store the kite dry and clean, loosely folded in its bag, in a cool, dry place – never in a hot car or damp conditions. Avoid sharp objects and rough surfaces that could wear down the material.
• Maintenance: Regularly check the canopy, bladders, valves and lines for wear or damage, and replace worn parts before heading out on the water.

Who is the Duotone Neo SLS for?

The kite is designed for ambitious wave riders and strapless freestyle riders who want a sporty, responsive kite with precise control. It suits most wave riders looking for top performance without going all the way to the D/LAB model.

What sizes is the Neo SLS available in?

The kite comes in sizes from 5 to 12 meters, so you can choose the right kite for your conditions and body type. You can use Duotone’s size finder to find the best size.

What does SLS mean in the name?

SLS stands for Strong Light Superior and refers to Duotone’s gear line for riders who want to push their limits without compromise. The Neo SLS is the sporty middle ground between the classic Neo and the lightweight Neo D/LAB.

How many PSI should the kite be inflated to?

All sizes are optimized for 7 PSI, giving you consistent performance across the entire size range.

Is the Neo SLS also suitable for strapless freestyle?

Yes. The kite is designed for both wave riding and competition-level strapless freestyle, delivering great pop, drift, and control.

What are the characteristics of the kite’s wind range?

The Neo SLS has a huge high end and a good low end, giving it a wide wind range. This means you can ride in gusty and changing conditions without having to switch kites.

What’s the best way to care for my kite?

Rinse the kite with fresh water after using it in salt water, let it dry completely in the shade, and store it dry and loosely folded in its bag. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
