Introduction

The lightweight but well-padded harness, essential for lengthening your sessions in great comfort with total mobility and no stiffening of the back.

Presentation

Simple, light and well thought out, this wingfoil harness will allow you to ride stronger and in absolute comfort. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, it will quickly become essential.

Why use a harness?

1/ longer: you can relieve yourself to ride for hours or long tacks, and save energy for the next day.
2/ faster: being in the harness allows you to lock the Wing to make it more efficient when overpowered, and also allows you to fully sheet in without much effort.
3/ stronger: in the harness you conserve energy for the highlights of the session!

Its weight? It’s super light. It really disappears in the phases when you’re not using it and that’s exactly what we wanted: all the benefits of a harness without the heaviness of a kite or windsurf harness.

Its shape is minimalist but neat in the details with a level of support that will relieve you without encumbering you. For sessions lasting several hours or upwind tacks following a long downwind, it’s a must have, but it will also become so for your one-hour lunch break session or quick after work sesh, as this harness only has advantages.

The absence of a rigid shell gives it all the flexibility you want and like when winging. First of all, it doesn’t choke you when you get back on the board. Then you don’t feel it when pumping or surfing, for example.

Super practical, its smart and quick buckle is as simplistic as it is smart. It opens in a second, which allows you to attach your leashes while keeping the possibility of removing the harness without having to undo a strap. We still recommend using our releasable leashes though.

This harness is to be equipped with one of the two following accessories (not included with the harness):

• a spreader bar in stainless steel with its cover for a better distribution of efforts. With its cover in EVA and imitation leather, it is perfectly finished and above all very comfortable. This is a must for people who already have experience with a harness and who know how to get back on their board without damaging it. The windsurf type hook is provided for quick and easy hooking and unhooking to avoid catapults.
  
• a plastic hook for a minimalist and secure combo. Reassuring because it will not damage your board by going up on it. It’s a good compromise for your harness debut. This hook also has the advantage of being able to be slid to the side in order to paddle lying on your board.

Associated with our GONG harness line, it’s simply the perfect combo for endless rides 😉 Note that we were the first brand in the world to offer a production model harness line on our wings: simple, light, safe for the board and perfectly positioned facing the center of traction!

Available from XS to XXL and in blue or black, it will suit all sizes and all tastes. Due to its thin design and little coverage, it will suit both men and women as well as our dear teenage future wing foiling champions.

This accessory will boost your learning curve in an obvious way: less energy consumed when sailing and therefore more energy available for the take off and transition phases which are key for progression.

Boost your available energy for more action!

For any session of more than an hour, using a harness is a welcome relief when you are not a pro or a fitness champion. And generally speaking, it will soon be a habit for all wingfoilers to protect their body, especially their back.

A good harness line completely changes your sessions: you save your energy for the most intense phases: jumps, surfs, maneuvers; and save yourself during the transition phases: sailing back to the peak, sailing upwind, long tacks.

Saving your energy during the session also allows you to recover more quickly from your efforts for the up-coming sessions of the week or the weekend! What is the point of riding full on for 1 hour when you can do 3 hours every day for the same effort?

Beyond these rapidly palpable advantages, at GONG we have a history in wing foiling which allows us to have a glimpse at the trauma associated with this activity. If at first the effort without a harness is very good for your body, overdoing it is dramatic: tendonitis, various types of wear, general fatigue, etc. are common. And the demand for ever more performance in wing foiling will only reinforce this concern.

Construction

Noble materials have been chosen for their functionality: there is neoprene inside for comfort, a technical assembly of foams for support and a strap all around for longevity and resistance.

The seams and assemblies are perfect, each seam has been thought out and tested on dozens of prototypes before final validation: you have been longing for it, so we made it to perfection.

Its assembly of foams and straps is really comfortable. No rigid shell that would have hindered freedom of movement. Wing foiling efforts are often less intense and we have decided to favor freedom of movement over unnecessary rigidity.

The fastening system is very simple and well thought out, on one side our new buckle system developed by our materials / structure engineer and on the other a high-end buckle to finalize the attachment of the strap.

The GONG buckle system is made of stainless steel to avoid corrosion, it is above all very practical for quickly detaching while keeping its usual setting: it’s simple, clever and terribly effective.

The sheathed Dyneema line at the back of the harness allows you to attach your board leash as well as your wing leash if you wish. And as we have thought of everything, you can remove it for a new one without having to open your sewing kit.

The only part that can wear out is the strap on which your spreader bar or harness hook will slide, this part is therefore easily replaceable by ordering a spare strap on our website: zero stress, everything is provided for the durability of this product.

Your benefits are clear:

• An accessory created by the wing pioneer in Europe.
• Absolute comfort with maximum mobility.
• Simple to use and lightweight.
• Premium materials for maximum durability.
• An incredible price that can only be explained by our direct relationship with you.
