Neo 2020
OVERVIEW
The Neo is the choice of our highly decorated wave riding team, Airton Cozzolino, Matchu Lopes, Sebastian Ribeiro, James Carew and Patri McLaughlin. On the wave, it offers dynamic handling and incredible drift. When you want to freeride it’s an easy going companion. Enormous amounts of power and the depower is incredible. Exceptionally reactive and precise, you are always in total control with the NEO. Whether you are riding a monster at One Eye, pulling a strapless kite loop twenty feet up or just slaying some Euro mush, you need the Neo in your quiver.

WHAT´S NEW
- New, lighter Trailing Edge wave patch for reduced flutter and TE flutter marks
- Newly developed 75 gram Ripstop material
- Improved bar feedback at the top of the windrange
Watch the NEO in action as we talk you through the new tuning options for waves and depower, or how you can set it up for strapless freestyle and freeriding. It’s been one of the most popular kites in the Duotone line up for a long time, and it’s easy to see why.
“There’s so much harmony in the 2020 NEO and it allows me to step outside my comfort zone, especially in the waves.”
Matchu Lopes
