Duotone Neo SLS 2023
Description
WAVE
The best wave kite on the market got the SLS treatment; stronger, lighter, and higher quality, with Penta TX and Trinity TX combined to create a super lightweight and durable wing. With incredible drift, dynamic turning, and huge range, the Neo SLS is the only kite to take out on the water if you're riding a surfboard.
THE NEO SLS IS FAMOUS FOR ITS INCREDIBLE DRIFTING ABILITIES; THE SLS VERSION IS UP TO 15% LIGHTER THAN THE STANDARD VERSION, ALLOWING THE KITE TO FLOAT ALONG THE LINE LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
THE TURNING SPEED OF THE NEO SLS IS EXTREMELY FAST, AND THE SLS VERSION TAKES THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL. THE NEW HYBRID FLEX STRUT ALLOWS THE KITE TO TWIST AND CHANGE DIRECTION QUICKLY, AND THE LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION REDUCES THE ACCELERATED MASS OF THE KITE, MAKING IT FASTER AND MORE RESPONSIVE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE UNIQUE AND INCREDIBLE FEATURES OF THE NEO SLS, ITS ABILITY TO BE DIRECT AND DYNAMIC EVEN WHEN THE BAR IS PUSHED OUT AND THE KITE IS DEPOWERED. THIS FEATURE LETS YOU SURF THE WAVE HOWEVER YOU WANT, WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT BAR AND KITE CONTROL.
THE NEO SLS' RANGE IS LEGENDARY! IT HAS A HUGE BOTTOM END, MEANING YOU CAN LAUNCH ON A SMALLER KITE BEFORE OTHER RIDERS; THIS, COMBINED WITH IMPRESSIVE DEPOWER, LETS YOU RIDE LONGER AS THE WIND PICKS UP, AND YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH A SMALLER SIZE.
SLS CONSTRUCTION REDUCES THE KITE'S TOTAL WEIGHT AND IMPROVES PERFORMANCE BY MAKING THE FRAME STIFFER. ADDITIONALLY, MATERIALS LIKE PENTA TX AND TRINITY TX MAKE THE KITE LIGHT WHILE OFFERING EXCELLENT DURABILITY.
LARGER KITES WERE DESIGNED TO USE A WIDER ARC AND HAVE LESS SWEEP IN THE TIPS TO MAXIMIZE POWER, WHILE SMALLER SIZES HAVE MORE SWEEP AND A NARROWER ARC WITH AN EMPHASIS ON MANEUVERABILITY.
DETAILS - DUOTONE NEO SLS
The Neo SLS has dazzled the riding community by taking an already revolutionary, market-leading kite and pushing it to new heights. Penta TX combined with Trinity TX and the new Hybrid Flex Strut creates an incredibly lightweight and durable construction that weighs up to 15% less than an ordinary kite, making the Neo SLS so responsive and pushing drift capabilities to new levels. Where a traditional kite would have dropped, the Neo SLS will keep drifting, letting you easily pull off your moves on the wave. The new Hybrid Flex Strut ensures an improvement to the legendary dynamism of the Neo SLS; new material combinations have been used for better performance. The kite has been tuned with such precision that the percentage of flexible material in the tip struts decreases as size increases. For example, a 5m is more flexible at the tip struts than a 12m; this gives more stiffness and rigidity to the larger kites where power is a priority and makes the smaller kites even faster. When the kite is depowered and the bar is pushed out, the kite continues to handle and steer, letting you surf the wave without losing control. With multiple tip adjustments, you can also tune the kite to the day's conditions; during a strapless freestyle session on flat water, tune it for maximum pop and powerful loops, if you dare. Rip through waves, tune it for maximum drift and fast turning speed. The Neo SLS is the epitome of a wave kite: fast, with incredible drift, instant relaunch, and very durable. If you want to ride a surfboard this year, the Neo SLS is the kite for you. Whatever your surf style or the conditions, it will deliver performance beyond your imagination.
