DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Drift and Wave Positioning
The Neo D/LAB 2025's standout feature is its drift, designed specifically for surf-kiting. It lets you stay powered on the wave face while the kite hangs neutrally, so you can focus on your line, not on managing power.
Responsiveness and Turn Initiation
A slimmer leading edge and more responsive wingtip shape deliver incredibly fast turn initiation. You'll feel an explosive liveliness when you load up your edge, perfect for linking sections or quickly changing your line.
Control and Bar Feedback
The bar feedback is designed to be intuitive and precise, especially for wave riding. You always know exactly what the kite is doing, which allows for small adjustments and builds confidence in technical conditions.
Lightweight Construction and Technologies
The Neo D/LAB uses premium materials like Aluula and Trinity TX, combined with lightweight strut pockets and the innovative Hybrid Flex Strut. This tech slashes the kite's weight and improves handling without sacrificing control, giving you a more direct and agile feel on the water.
Stability in Variable Conditions
The design features a new high-pressure seam on the leading edge and a MOD 3S trailing edge, which work together to provide superior stiffness and shape retention. The result is solid control and stability, even when the wind gets gusty.
Setup and Tuning
Each size is tuned for optimal bar pressure, with a recommended inflation pressure to maximize stiffness. We suggest adjusting your line length and inflation to suit your local spot to fully unlock the kite's drift and responsiveness.
