DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Engineered for Wave Riding
The Neo 2025 is purpose-built for Surf, offering natural drift and superb handling that makes positioning on the wave effortless. We recommend this kite if you prioritize fluidity and precision for down-the-line rides and bottom turns.
Responsive Rotation and Steering
With its new profile and re-worked tips, the Neo turns quickly and responds instantly to your bar movements. You'll feel a direct connection that makes transitions and turns easier to engage.
Wind Range and Controlled Power
The Neo 2025 delivers ample power at the low end of the wind range while maintaining excellent depower at the high end. You'll appreciate being able to stay on the water longer, and if needed, go up a size to gain control without sacrificing steering feel.
Construction and Technologies
Duotone utilizes Trinity TX, Flex Segment, and Geotech to reduce weight at the tips while maintaining durability and the kite's profile. These construction choices improve performance in gusts and enhance the longevity of the kite.
Settings to Adapt Behavior
Multiple settings on the wingtips allow you to fine-tune drift and bar pressure according to conditions and your style. We advise you to experiment with the positions to find the perfect balance between pure drift and more direct steering.
Strapless Use and Versatility
Whether you're hitting side-shore or offshore waves, or even diving into strapless freestyle, the Neo 2025 is your go-to kite. Its dynamic steering makes it perfect for a variety of strapless riding disciplines.
