Duotone Neo D/LAB 2025 Kite

The 2025 Duotone Neo D/LAB Kite represents the peak of wave kite performance. With its lightweight design and cutting-edge features, the Neo D/LAB delivers unparalleled performance. It offers impressive power when handled correctly and boasts an exceptional wind range. With a strong low-end, you can catch waves even in light winds or switch to a smaller size as the conditions intensify. Thanks to its excellent depower, you can continue riding long after the wind picks up.

Wave riders will particularly appreciate the kite’s easy handling. The turning speed and feedback are exceptional, even when the bar is fully pushed out and the kite is depowered. Known for its outstanding drift characteristics, the 2025 version of the Neo D/LAB maintains this reputation, effortlessly drifting with you so you can focus on your top and bottom turns. If you choose to ride a twin-tip instead of your surfboard, the Neo D/LAB excels at upwind riding and can help you enhance your twin-tip skills.

The kite's foundation is its Aluula frame, which features a smaller diameter for 2025. The Aluula leading edge makes the Neo D/LAB up to 30% lighter, a difference you'll notice in its low-end performance. This reduced weight ensures the kite stays airborne even in light winds, making you one of the first on the water with a hydrofoil. The lighter build often allows you to choose a smaller size than usual. Additionally, the Aluula material adds stiffness, helping the kite maintain its shape in strong, gusty winds, which improves top-end performance. The 2025 Neo D/LAB also features three Hybrid Flex Struts, ensuring smooth and direct steering, along with rapid turning, ideal for quick downloops in fast-breaking waves.

For the first time, a new high-pressure seam is used in the leading edge, reducing drag and allowing for harder inflation—Duotone recommends inflating the Neo D/LAB to at least 10 PSI. The combination of the smaller leading edge, higher pressure, and reduced drag delivers incredibly precise control. The trailing edge now incorporates MOD 3S material, and adjustments to the batten construction further reduce weight.

Some features remain unchanged. The Neo D/LAB continues to use Trinity TX material with 3x2 yarns, providing maximum strength, durability, and enhanced performance. This fabric offers one of the highest tear resistances, so you don’t have to worry about minor damage.

If you're a directional or foil rider seeking the absolute best, the 2025 Duotone Neo D/LAB is the kite for you!
