| The
Neo has always been one of our favorites, and now it has gotten
better. Complete new bar with refined chicken loop, below-the-bar
safety top-hat, and 5th line "Total De-power Safety" (TDS)
Unlike an LEI (Leading Edge
Inflatable) kite, this kite inflates completely between the upper and
lower skins. Vents with one-way valves on the leading edge allow
inflation during launch. This is similar to the Peter Lynn Twinskin
"ARC" line of inflatables and makes the kite water relaunchable. Not
only is there no pumping like an LEI, but there is no (or little)
pre-inflation required like the Peter Lynns. Just set it up and launch
it like an open-cell kite and it takes care of inflation by itself.
 The
control bar is clean and neat with single power strap equipped with a
cam-cleat for easy adjustment. The strap is easy to reach at all times.
The "top hat" safety release is easy to reach, now located under the
bar and effectively dumps the kite on the center-line bridle, folding
the kite back like a taco and killing all power. It's easy to re-set,
too. Even when fully powered up, bar pressure is light to moderate,
giving good feedback and flying with one hand is easy.
The front
lines join to a single line about half way down to the bar, forming a
"Y" and contributing to the clean and simple rig. In fact, from set-up
to take-down and packing, everything about this kite is clean and easy
. We've had several Flysurfer pilots fly the Neo and compare it
favorably or superior to the Psycho and Pulse in many regards.
Everybody agreed the bridle is cleaner and neater.
The NEO II is
designed for riders crossing over from water to wheels and snow who
require the versatility and durability of a water relaunchable foil
kite. For 2010, the NEO II has evolved to provide faster, tighter
turning and an increased depower range with more pop for higher jumps.
Larger intake valves allow quicker ram-air inflation. Riders will
appreciate the redesigned molded chicken loop and the new TDS (Total
Depower Safety) flagging line that provides an increased level of
safety and simplified self-landing. The new backpack is even more
technical and offers attachment points for all kinds of boards, helmets
and harnesses.
