Tech Talk - Behind the design of the Evo D/LAB 2026

What does it take to improve a kite that is already seen as the benchmark? In this edition of Behind the Design, we sit down with Duotone designer Manuel Zwinz and lead tester Reno Romeo to hear how two years of development, collaboration from the Duotone laboratory, and relentless on-water testing shaped the next generation of the Evo D/LAB. From material breakthroughs to real-world feedback from the team, Manuel and Reno walk us through the decisions, discoveries, and design choices that pushed this three-strut Aluula kite to a new level of performance.
