Duotone Neo Concept Blue 2024

Maintaining your kite

• Rinsing: Rinse the kite with fresh water after every session, especially after using it in salt water, and keep sand away from the valves and canopy.
• Drying: Let the kite dry completely in the shade before packing it away. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays break down the material over time.
• Storage: Store the dry kite loosely rolled or in its bag in a cool, dry place - never in a hot car or in direct sunlight.
• Transport: Avoid compressing the kite tightly for long periods, as folds and creases can damage the coating and material.
• Inspection: Regularly check the canopy, seams, valves, bladder, and lines for wear, and replace worn parts before heading out on the water.
• Repair: Small damages can be repaired with a patch kit, but larger damages to the bladder or canopy must be repaired by a professional workshop.

What is the Duotone Neo Concept Blue 2024 best for?

It’s primarily designed for wave kiting and strapless freestyle, but it also works really well for freeride thanks to its versatile setup and multiple tip settings.

What sizes is the kite available in?

The Neo Concept Blue 2024 is available in eight sizes from 5.0 to 12.0 m², so you can cover everything from strong wave wind to lighter conditions.

What does Concept Blue mean?

Concept Blue is Duotone’s sustainability program: the kite uses undyed material, a bio-based bladder, and recycled plastic components to reduce water and chemical consumption.

Is the kite suitable for beginners?

The kite is easy to relaunch and has plenty of depower, but it’s primarily designed for wave kiting. It’s best suited to experienced riders who want maximum performance in the waves.

How does the Neo Concept Blue perform in drift?

Drift is the Neo’s hallmark: thanks to the lightweight Trinity TX construction in the wingtips, the kite drifts steadily down the line while you ride the wave.

What is the kite’s wind range like?

The kite has powerful low end and generous depower, so you can ride a smaller size in stronger winds and stay on the water even when the wind picks up.

Can I adjust the kite for different conditions?

Yes, the kite has multiple settings on the tips, so you can choose between maximum pop and powerful loops or extra drift and faster turns.

What’s the best way to maintain the kite?

Rinse the kite with fresh water after use, let it dry completely in the shade, and store it somewhere cool and dry to keep the material and valves in good condition for as long as possible.
