The number of handles is optimal. We offer three handles placed on the structure of the wing: a downwind handle on the leading edge for surfing sessions and getting in and out of the water and two handles on the central batten to steer the wing. On the 2023 range, the length of the rear handle has been increased to be able to adapt the positioning of your hand whatever the circumstances. The front handle is ideally placed and an open angle allows a comfortable wrist position and also a pistol grip.
The position of the handles is precisely defined according to the model and according to the size of each wing. We study each wing to determine the perfect position to place your hands.
The two steering handles are sewn onto the wing strut with reinforcement straps that go all the way around the strut in order to relieve the batten fabric from taking on all the efforts.
Our handles consist of a rigid PVC body and comfortable EVA foam. They are wrapped in a very durable and non-abrasive Nylon webbing. The rigidity of the whole handle thus provides direct and precise control of the wing in all circumstances, protects your board from shocks, and can be stored in one minute.
The straps holding the handle and harness line take up all the load of the rider and distribute this effort around the entire circumference of the central strut. It is clearly the most solid: both on a huge effort at a given time, and for a use beyond 12 months.
The leash attachment point on the leading edge is even more reinforced than the bridle anchors on a kite. It’s super strong and it’s essential because a break there would cause the wing to explode.
To make the sessions last while preserving your back, we have placed two nylon harness loops on the central strut to mount a harness line (sold separately). These very light nylon loops are discreetly integrated into the base of the handles. Long sessions and one-handed tricks are yours!
