DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Wave Performance
The Neo SLS 2026 is built for high-performance wave riding. Its incredible grip and precision give you the confidence to attack any section. The kite's intuitive carving and down-the-line performance help you carry speed across the wave face, letting you link smooth, powerful maneuvers on demand.
Responsiveness and Steering
The innovative Hybrid Flex Strut construction delivers instant feedback directly to the control bar. This gives you exceptionally responsive steering to snap through tight transitions and drive powerful turns, perfect for reacting instantly to changing sections of the wave.
Drift and Positioning
The legendary drift of the Neo SLS is its signature feature. It allows you to stay perfectly connected to the wave, whether you're drawing out long carves or making quick adjustments. This kite is ideal for maintaining control and speed through critical sections without ever getting pulled off your line.
Materials and Ride Feel
The combination of Penta TX and Trinity TX materials creates a uniquely light and precise feel. You'll notice less inertia through the bar, making it easier to manage gusts and giving the kite a lively, dynamic response that shines in technical conditions.
All-Around Versatility
While it's a wave-riding machine, the Neo SLS also offers a massive wind range and performance that's perfectly suited for freeride and strapless freestyle. You can take it to any spot and count on the same consistent, predictable steering you love.
Who is it for?
Built for demanding riders who have their skills and equipment dialed in, the Neo SLS requires an advanced level to take full advantage of its responsiveness and drift. We highly recommend a demo to confirm the feel for your spot and your style.
