The Duotone Neo D/LAB is the most advanced wave kite in the Neo range, crafted with premium materials to optimize performance. It delivers precise control, exceptional drift, and unmatched responsiveness for pro riders tackling any wave conditions.

The Duotone Neo D/LAB, the pinnacle of wave kite innovation and performance. Engineered with cutting-edge Aluula D/TX and Trinity TX materials, this kite represents the most refined wave kite, designed for unmatched precision and control on the water.

The Neo D/LAB sets the standard with best-in-class drift, offering ultimate wave freedom. Experience ultra-smooth and responsive handling that allows for outstanding steering response, making it the ideal choice for riders who demand the very best.

With the maximum wind range in the Neo line, this kite is versatile enough to excel across various conditions. One of the key advancements of the Neo D/LAB is its sharper steering response, achieved through the incorporation of Aluula D/TX in the leading edge.

This revolutionary material reduces weight while significantly increasing stiffness, allowing for an immediate transfer of steering input to the kite. The result is noticeably quicker and more direct turning, which is crucial for reactive surfing in tight sections.

Subtle refinements to the arc shape and sweep angle also enhance down-the-line drive. These changes shift the kite’s position further forward in the wind window, keeping it actively engaged and pulling when riding slack lines.

This design offers smoother flow and consistent forward drive on fast wave faces, elevating your surfing experience. Stability is further enhanced with improved drift and depower control.

The combination of structural stiffness and aerodynamic refinement allows the kite to hold its shape when depowered, reducing deformation and flutter. This results in a cleaner and more controllable drift, particularly in offshore or gusty conditions.

Furthermore, the increased torsional stiffness provided by Aluula D/TX minimizes unwanted flex in the leading edge during aggressive input. This leads to a crisper, more predictable steering feel, allowing for precise maneuvering, especially under pressure or during hard transitions.

With the Duotone Neo D/LAB, you have the ultimate wave kite at your disposal. Experience unparalleled performance and precision, designed for the most ambitious riders who seek the perfect balance of innovation and control in the waves.

Technologies

Trinity TX

Teijin is the world’s leading supplier of polyester fabrics and sail materials to marine sports. The combined creative power of Duotone Kiteboarding saw the formulation of TRINITY TX. Exclusive to Duotone Kiteboarding, TRINITY TX is a 3x2 canopy material, which has proven to be far superior to other canopy materials in terms of durability and dynamic performance. The 3x2 yarn combination has proven to be the best solution in performance as well as durability, overall superior to any 2x2 or 4x4 yarn solutions. TRINITY TX. Made to stand the test of time.

Aluula D/TX Frame Construction

The new Aluula D/TX has been developed together with Duotone and combines low weight with exceptional stiffness. The result is a kite frame that performs in light wind conditions just as impressively as in Big Air models. For designers the material opens up new freedom in tuning flex, torsion and stiffness, enabling even more precise and performance driven concepts.

Hybrid Flex Struts

The new Hybrid Flex Strut offers the kite its exceptional performance and leads to slightly smoother and more refined handling. The turning is faster and feels more dynamic. These features are controlled by the precisely tuned ratio of Penta TX and STW70 adjusted to each size. The percentage of flex material in the tip struts decreases as the size increases.

High-Pressure Closing & Intersegment Seam

The High-Pressure Closing and Intersegment Seam Technology ensures that our kites maintain optimal shape and integrity, even under extreme pressure. This advanced construction technique enhances the durability and performance of the kite by securely sealing the segments together, preventing deformation and ensuring consistent airflow.

Single Stitch Trailing Edge

The Single Stitch Trailing Edge is a refined design feature that minimizes weight and reduces flutter, enhancing the kite’s overall durability and performance. By streamlining the construction, we've achieved a cleaner, more aerodynamic profile that not only improves efficiency but also extends the kite's lifespan.

MOD 3S

The MOD 3S is evolutionary in kite canopy technology, offering enhanced strength and stability. This innovative material provides three times the tear resistance and significantly less stretch compared to previous generations, ensuring that your kite performs at its peak in even the most demanding conditions.

Micro Batten Construction

The Micro Batten Construction is 40% lighter compared to regular models and part of the overall concept to reduce weight and provides a cleaner and sleeker look of the kite without compromising durability or performance.

Leading Edge Intersegment Seam Construction

The Leading Edge Intersegment Seam Construction increases the overall strength, stiffness, and direct flight stability of the airframe. Additional this is the lightest construction you can create for a kite.

Fusion Strut 2.0

The Fusion Strut 2.0 links the leading edge and struts with one single connection, delivering maximum stability, a precise and dynamic flying experience, and reliable performance even in rough conditions.

Double-V Pigtails

These pigtails distribute the load of the line connections to the kite, minimizing the risk of fatigue, making the kite less prone to distortion and helps it to steer more smoothly.

Kook Proof Connectors

The kook proof line connection points prevent accidents by guaranteeing that you cannot accidentally connect your lines incorrectly when rigging your kite.

Micro Loop Connections

The Duotone Micro Loop Connection is 40% smaller than in regular models and part of the overall concept to reduce weight on the leading edge.

Anti Snag

The Anti Snag webbing is preventing the lines from tangling around the tip of the kite. Waterstarts are made easier and safety is increased.
