What Duotone has to say:

The high-performance Wave Kite with exceptional drift, sharper steering, and direct sporty handling for committed wave and Strapless Freestyle riding.

Built for riders demanding the highest level of Wave performance, the Duotone Neo SLS takes everything that made the Neo legendary and elevates it into a more direct, sportier, and performance-focused package. Designed for committed Wave riders and progressive Strapless Freestyle athletes, the Neo SLS delivers exceptional precision, faster steering response, and an incredibly dynamic riding feel in the most demanding conditions.

Developed with Duotone’s Strong Light Superior construction philosophy, the Neo SLS combines reduced weight, increased structural stiffness, and optimized torsional compliance to create a Kite that feels exceptionally alive and reactive on the wave. Every steering input translates instantly into direct canopy response, allowing riders to place the kite precisely where needed during fast, technical surfing manoeuvres. A key element of the Neo SLS performance character is the one-piece center strut construction. This design increases torsional compliance, allowing the Kite to twist more efficiently through turns and react faster during committed down-the-line riding. The result is incredibly fast and controlled steering that keeps the Kite perfectly positioned in the pocket while maintaining exceptional drift and stability. Outstanding drift remains one of the Neo SLS’s defining characteristics. Even when riding aggressively with slack lines, the kite stays composed and effortlessly follows the rider down the line, allowing complete focus on the wave without unwanted pull or disruption. Compared to the standard Neo, the Neo SLS delivers noticeably more direct bar feedback and a sharper overall riding sensation. The stiffer, highly refined structure provides immediate steering response and precise reactions through critical wave sections, making the Kite especially appealing for advanced riders seeking maximum control and performance. The rigid and balanced airframe additionally delivers an impressive wind range, remaining stable and predictable from marginal conditions to fully powered wave sessions. Sizes from 5 to 10m should be pumped to 9 PSI and sizes 11 and 12m to 8PSI, for optimum performance. Whether riding fast reef breaks, technical onshore conditions, or powerful surf, the Neo SLS maintains composure, responsiveness, and confidence at all times. Trusted by high-performance wave riders and World Champions, built for those pushing their limits in every session, the Duotone Neo SLS represents a dynamic and performance-driven Neo platform.
