About this kite

The Neo is one of wave kiteboarding's defining kites: drift, instant steering and bomb-proof depower refined across more than a decade of world-title surf riding. The standard build carries the identical character of its SLS and D/LAB siblings at the accessible end of the family. The reference, in every construction.
