Duotone wave kites are used in combination with directional kiteboards to ride on waves. This requires some very specific characteristics. Wave Kites are specially constructed so that they continue to kite with the wind while sailing without floating down. In addition, these Duotone kites are often depowered, so the kite does not pull too hard on the kite. A Duotone wave kite that has been at the top for years is, among other things, a Duotone Neo.

Furthermore, the Duotone beginner kites are designed to be stable and not prone to error.

Duotone kite shapes 

The shape of a kite has a huge influence on the kite properties. The most popular kite shapes are described below, but in practice it often happens that these shapes are adapted or used in combination.

• C-shape: These Duotone kites look like a 'C' from the front and wingtips are square. These kites usually have five struts and a loaded fifth line. These kites are good for aggressive, fast jumps and unhooked tricks. They turn quickly, but have a smaller wind range and less depower.
• Delta shape: These Duotone kites look like a 'D' from the front and the win tips are pointed backwards. These kites have an incomparable upwind performance and a large wind range. The kites are ideal for freeriding, for minimal wind or for waves, because they can completely depower the kite.
