Duotone Neo D/LAB 2025

Maintenance of your Duotone Neo D/LAB

• Rinsing: Rinse the kite with fresh water after use in salt water. Let it dry completely before packing it away - especially the seams, connectors and valve areas.
• Drying: Let the kite dry in the shade or indoors. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays break down the canopy and Aluula materials over time.
• Storage: Store the kite somewhere dry and clean, loosely rolled, in a cool place - preferably not in a hot car or in direct sunlight. Remove sand and dirt from the valves before closing them.
• Pressure and inflation: Inflate the kite to the recommended pressure and check that all valves are sealed tightly. Avoid exposing the inflated kite to rough abrasion or sharp objects on beaches and rocks.
• Inspection: Regularly check the struts, seams, line attachments, pigtails and batten pockets for wear or small leaks. Repair minor damage immediately with a repair kit - this significantly extends the kite’s lifespan.
• Transport: Use the included bag, and avoid packing the kite tightly with sharp objects such as bends or hangers in the same bag.

Who is the Neo D/LAB for?

The kite is aimed at experienced wave riders who want the most precise and sensitive bar feedback. Beginners will typically get more enjoyment out of the standard Neo model.

The combination of Aluula and Trinity TX makes the kite extremely light and strong. The Aluula material also allows for higher inflation pressure of up to 10 psi, reducing drag and increasing efficiency.

What does Hybrid Flex Strut do?

The Hybrid Flex Strut design provides super-fast and dynamic turning with immediate steering response - exactly what you need when initiating turns quickly on the wave.

Can I adjust the kite’s handling?

Yes, the adaptive tip lets you adjust the bar feedback, so you can fine-tune the kite to your personal riding style and the current conditions.

How do I best care for the kite?

Rinse it with fresh water after use in salt water, let it dry in the shade, and store it dry and loosely rolled in a cool place. Regularly check the seams, valves, and pigtails for wear.

Is the Neo D/LAB only for wave surfing?

The kite is primarily designed for wave riding, where its drift, fast turning, and wide wind range really come into their own, but it can easily be used for versatile wave and freeride riding.
