NEWS: STRAPLESS IN WING ?

Riding strapless with a wing can be done perfectly if you want to feel more free. On the other hand, this gain in freedom will very quickly limit your performance. It’s not only about aerial maneuvers but also about comfort during maneuvers in flight, in surfs or in pumping.

 

In addition, the footstraps ensure the ideal placement of your feet for the board’s program. However, there are some reservations if you have physical weaknesses on your ankles or knees.

  On this subject L’Ours reacts directly to Aurélie’s message on our GONG Galaxy facebook group who has to deal with an already weakened ankle:  

“There are just two dangers with your wing ankle.

1/ The straps that I ALWAYS recommend are to be avoided for you, especially when trying to jibe.

2/ Jumping off the board in little water is systematically dangerous and sometimes rhymes with an open fracture because the true depth is very poorly estimated. The rest will only be pure joy. Helmet and life jacket are compulsory because you don’t have the straps to keep the foil away from you. You risk falling on it several times before getting the hang of it. ”
