KITESURF

The Contra 1 Strut has quickly garnered a reputation as one of the best kites for lightwind freeriding and has proven a versatile addition to any kite quiver. 

With its single strut design, this light and nimble kite allows the use of much smaller sizes to maximize foilboardings true potential.   Featherweight control and amazing drift characteristics allow for low angles of attack while on foil, and the rear line tension increases steering impulse even when depowered.  

This dynamic kite design will put an optimized Contra light wind kite in your hands whether you ride a twin tip, surfboard, or a foil board.

FEATURES

In 2003 a kite was launched to help people maximize their time on the water.  The name became synonymous with the light wind riding, and has since become a staple in many kiters quivers.     

The Contra 3 Strut continues this legacy and provides the rider with the ultimate blend of light wind power and agility to maximize time on the water in threshold winds.   

Its supported 3 strut frame allows to not only drive forward when using more a traditional selection of kiteboards, but it also provides a stable canopy and an increased high end range.

No kite has done more in the sport of kitesurfing than the Switchblade.  World Titles, World Records, Podium topping, all on a stock production kite that has also brought so many people not only into the sport, but given the perfect platform to evolve, improve and push their own boundaries of what they thought possible. 

For 02 we have given the Switchblade a further performance boost. The redesigned and rebalanced bridle gives the option to not only increase the turning speed, but also lighten up the feel of the kite.  A lighter faster kite not only extends the reach of this amazing product to different riders, but also allows for faster steering and control for jumping.  The five strut stable frame of the Switchblade really comes into its own in the higher wind ranges.  Here the legendary boost and hangtime of the Switchblade really shines.

FEATURES

The Neo Concept Blue combines top-tier wave-riding performance with sustainable design. Featuring innovative wingtip enhancements and eco-friendly materials like Concept Blue technology, it offers improved handling and reduced environmental impact. With versatile settings and consistent power delivery, it's a standout choice for wave enthusiasts seeking both performance and sustainability.

The Neo has been synonymous with wave-riding excellence from its inception. Now, in 2024, the Neo Concept Blue embodies Duotone's unwavering commitment to versatile, high-performance wave riding. This year's version introduces an enhanced wingtip shape and construction, improving the handling both on the wave and for strapless tricks. Moreover, the new kite incorporates the groundbreaking Concept Blue, utilizing undyed fabrics to reduce water and chemical usage, a bio-based bladder, and recycled plastic components, further underlining Duotone's dedication to sustainability.

The refinements don't stop there. The Neo Concept Blue’s construction incorporates an increased area of Trinity TX in the wingtip region, effectively reducing weight without compromising durability. This innovation facilitates exceptional drifting capabilities, perfect for riding down the line. Additionally, the kite's overall profile receives an update, featuring a slightly deeper center profile and a moderately deeper profile towards the tips. These modifications enhance the kite's low-end power and allow for precise wingtip loading, resulting in highly responsive steering.

These improvements make the Neo Concept Blue a standout choice for wave-riding enthusiasts, delivering lightning-fast turns and unmatched drift. Its popularity in the wave kite market is well-earned. Versatility remains at the forefront, thanks to multiple settings on the tips that enable users to fine-tune the kite's performance based on the day's conditions. Whether embarking on a flatwater strapless freestyle session or conquering the waves, the Neo Concept Blue can be customized for maximum pop and powerful loops or optimized for exceptional drift and rapid turning speed.

Another remarkable feature of the Neo Concept Blue is its consistent power delivery across the entire wind range. Abundant low-end power allows users to choose a smaller, more dynamic size, elevating overall performance. Simultaneously, the Neo Concept Blue offers an extensive upper range with generous depower, allowing users to extend their time on the water even as conditions change.

With a host of updates and upgrades for 2024, the new Neo Concept Blue sets the bar high, both in terms of performance and sustainability. This class-leading wave kite continues to push boundaries, and all users have to do is get a launch and join the party.

Features:

• Excellent Drift: The Neo Concept Blue is famous for its incredible drifting abilities, allowing the kite to float down the line while you worry about riding the wave.
• Concept Blue: In addition to the high-end materials we use in all kites, we are using undyed fabrics, saving lots of water and reducing chemical usage; these are coupled with a new bio-based bladder material and recycled plastic parts wherever they are needed.
• Improved Turning Initiation and Turning Speed: The new wing tip shape and construction have improved the turning speed and responsiveness of the kite, making it even more dynamic.
• Incredibly Powerful with Massive Depower: The range of the Neo Concept Blue 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 Concept Blue is exceedingly quick; not only that, the kite has been designed to react to bar inputs incredibly quickly, but this also makes it one of the most responsive kites on the market.
• Geometry Tuned to Size: The larger kites have been designed to use a wider arc and have less sweep in the tips, maximising power, while the smaller sizes have more sweep and a narrower arc with a focus on manoeuvrability.
