Used Duotone Neo Concept Blue 7m 2024 Kitesurfing Kite
A 7m Neo Concept Blue in good used condition — the wave kite Duotone built its reputation on, in the undyed Concept Blue fabric, with its bag and an honest set of photos.
The Neo has been Duotone's wave kite since the beginning, and the 2024 version is the one with the reworked wingtips. More Trinity TX in the tip area takes weight out without giving up durability, which is what lets the kite drift down the line while you get on with riding the wave. The profile was deepened through the centre and moderately towards the tips, so there is more low-end on tap and the steering stays sharp. Settings on the tips let you tune it either way — wound up for pop and loops, or set for maximum drift.
Concept Blue is Duotone's sustainable build of the same kite: undyed fabrics, a bio-based bladder and recycled plastic parts. That is why the canopy is natural off-white rather than brilliant white — it is the fabric's own colour, not fading.
Condition — read this bit
Good used condition. Specifically:
- One small hole just above the reinforced teal valve patch. Pictured in the last photo with a finger alongside it for scale.
- A yellow-tan stain on the canopy beside the leading edge, and general dirty marks and scuffing along the leading edge. Cosmetic, pictured.
- Canopy is still crisp with only the lightest crease marks — no softness, no delamination, no previous repairs.
- Every mark above is in the photos. What you see is what is in the shop.
Supplied with its kite bag. No bar, lines or pump.

Questions we get asked
Is the small hole a problem?
It is tiny and sits above the valve patch rather than in a high-load area. A dab of sail repair tape or a few minutes with a repair kit sorts it. We have priced the kite with it in mind, and we would rather point it out than let you find it.
Will the stain come out?
Probably not fully — it has had a while to settle. It is cosmetic only and does not affect how the kite flies.
What wind does a 7m Neo cover?
That depends on your weight, board and spot, so we will not pretend there is one answer. Ring the shop and tell us what you ride and where, and we will tell you honestly whether a 7m fills a gap in your quiver.
Will my existing bar work?
Duotone bars pair with it as you would expect. If you are on another brand, check your line lengths and ask us first.
Can I see it before buying?
Yes. It is in the shop in Whitstable. Come and have a proper look, or ask us for more photos of anything in particular.
Why is it cheaper than a new one?
Because it is used, has the marks described above and the small hole. That is the whole of it.
