As with all sports equipment exposed to natural elements such as wind, sea water, dust, sand and sunlight, life expectancy varies. With heavy use in these conditions, Neo kites can be expected to remain operationally effective for a minimum of 2 years. Of course, with moderate use and care, this time period can be lengthened considerably. To optimize performance, it is suggested that equipment be updated and/or replaced routinely.

SnowKiting with the Neo The Neo is a kite for intermediate to advanced riders. As a crossover de-powerable ram-air 'foil, it's suitable for land, snow and water. This kite can be used for Snow Kiting, Kite LandBording and KiteBoarding on water. Not suitable for Kite Buggying. Smaller sizes are intended for strong winds and the larger sizes for light wind conditions, though the operating range of each Neo will largely depend on the flyers skill level with this type of kite. Among the many Neo features are; Insane turning speed, Easy water relaunch, High stability, Extreme lift and hang time, Drag reducing Y-shape front lines, Internal drainage system and dirt outs, De-power speed system, Double stitched seams with Dacron reinforced profiles, Composite de-power control bar.
Riding the snow
Getting started:- When Traction Kiting, select a size that fits your ability and prevailing wind conditions. No matter what type of kite you use for Kite Traction, there are a number of things to remember when selecting the best size to start with. Your choice will depend on the Surface; (Skis on snow or ice, Kite Buggy on soft or hard sand, grass or hard ground), the Wind Speed, Flyer Skill and Experience and Flyer Weight. Whether the flyer is a novice or has a lot of Traction Kiting experience, the best choice is the smallest kite that will produce enough power to move. It is essential not to be overpowered, not just because it's obviously safer, but upwind travel will be easier and less power is easier to manage. A mid-size kite is ideal to get familiar with control on solid ground in a modest steady wind. Once you are confident that you can control the kite, then progress to Skis, SnowBoard, Land Board or KiteBoard.

KiteBoarding with the Neo

These kites produce considerable pull and are not suitable for inexperienced flyers. Always learn to control the kites before attempting kite traction activities. Sensible saftey precautions should be followed when flying these kites and protective clothing, especially sturdy shoes and a helmet should always be worn when using them for land traction. Read instructions and safety warnings in with every kite.
