The Neo has more championships and accolades under its belt than any other kite on the market. It’s been at the forefront of the surfboard movement within kiteboarding from the start, and that’s not changing anytime soon. A set of unique characteristics combine to make this the best wave riding and strapless freestyle kite on the market. Firstly, the legendary drift enables you to ride waves how you want, focussing on your turns rather than worrying about the kite. This also helps in onshore conditions where slack lines are a regular occurrence; the kite will hang in the air giving you time to put tension back in the lines. When the wind is cross-onshore, you need a kite that can turn fast as you carve your lines into the face of the wave; once again, the Neo delivers! It’s dynamic, it’s responsive, the turns are quick, and the change of direction is near-instantaneous. With multiple settings on the tips, you can also tune the kite to the day’s conditions; having a flatwater strapless freestyle session, set it for maximum pop and powerful loops. Shredding the waves, tune it for maximum drift and rapid turning speed. The real ace up the Neo’s sleeve is the power it delivers across the wind range; it’s got lots of low-end power, meaning you can ride a smaller, more dynamic kite. The upper range is huge, with lots of depower, allowing you to have a 2-3 kite quiver to cover most wind conditions. If you are serious about riding a surfboard, whether for shredding waves or boosting airs, the Neo is the only kite you will ever need.
Unrivalled steering even when depowered.
This is one of the unique and enchanting features of the Neo, its ability to be direct and dynamic, even when the bar is pushed out, and the kite is depowered. This feature allows you to ride the wave how you like without thinking about bar and kite control.
Incredibly powerful with massive depower.
The range of the Neo is legendary! It has a huge bottom end, meaning you can get going on a smaller kite before other riders; this, coupled with impressive depower, has you out riding for longer when the wind picks up, and you can get away with a smaller quiver.
Dynamic Handling.
The turning speed of the Neo is exceedingly quick; not only that the kite been designed to react to bar inputs incredibly quickly, but this also makes it one of the most responsive kites on the market.
D/LAB Construction.
This helps reduce the overall weight of the kite and improves performance, using materials like Trinity TX, making the kite light while offering excellent durability.
Geometry tuned to size.
The larger kites have been designed to use a wider arc and have less sweep in the tips, maximising power. At the same time, the smaller sizes have more sweep and a narrower arc focusing on manoeuvrability.
The Neo is everything you need in a wave kite, responsive, drifts like a machine and you can always tell where the kite is in the sky.
Since the very first generation of the Neo, I love this kite. And believe it or not, this kite gets still better every year. It drifts very well, always gives a lot of feedback where it is and delivers a great amount of power. If you dare, you can even megaloop it!
The Neo is my kite since many years, this year the choice between Neo and Neo SLS is extremely hard, both drift really good, have a great amount of power. the Neo just delivers the power in a softer, more forgiving way. when there’s waves, there’s only one choice, a Neo.
