Alexis's Review
As a kite instructor, my free time is rare. I took advantage of a lesson with independent students to hit the water with the new Duotone Evo SLS 12m. Initially, the wind was too light, but as soon as it picked up to 18 knots, I finally got to test this kite I had been eagerly anticipating.
Rigid construction from inflation
From the moment of inflation, the first impression is striking. The stiffness of the Leading Edge in Penta TX is immediately noticeable. This ultra-resistant material, combined with SLS technology, limits deformation and ensures the kite's profile holds perfectly. You immediately feel that the kite will not budge and will maintain its stability, even in gusts. This feeling of solidity is reassuring and encourages pushing performance.
Precise ride feel
Get ready for a total surprise once you hit the water. I'm used to my Dice SLS 12 m, which needs to be fully powered to unlock its potential. But the Evo SLS is far more responsive. The bar feel is perfect, with direct power transmission and immediate feedback. This kite generates serious power and generous lift, building your confidence from the very first tacks. I was already tapping into its full potential in just 18 knots.
Perfect control for old school and big air
Quickly, I started chaining my favorite tricks again, ones I had set aside: one foot, no foot, double back, darkslide, and even a few loops. That's an exercise that is demanding on a 12m kite. The precision of the steering and the stability of the profile let you dare without apprehension. The kite's reactivity makes every maneuver fluid, with easy timing.
A confidence-inspiring kite
What is most striking is how easily everything comes together. You constantly know where the kite is in the window. This frees up mental load and lets you focus on your tricks. The Evo SLS combines the stiffness necessary for control with the handling useful for creativity. It is an ideal kite for progressing in old school as well as big air.
