More and more wingfoil fans are opting for a harness - especially for disciplines such as racing or for the way back after long downwind courses, hooking in is often a welcome relief - especially as many water sports enthusiasts are familiar with the harness from windsurfing or kitesurfing. However, because normal harness ropes dangle around annoyingly when waving and you can accidentally hook yourself in when jumping or pumping, the Artness rope system was developed. We have already shown you the first version in a Test presented and approved.
The idea: an elasticated cord keeps the trapeze rope under tension and pulls it in as soon as you have unhooked yourself. Now, with the Artness V2, a revised version is coming onto the market that works according to the same basic principle, but with a few changes to the details: For example, the Velcro fasteners used to attach the ropes to the boom or the handles of the wing have been made wider, which should provide a better grip. The fasteners themselves have also been made more discreet and should now interfere less with gripping. Instead of simply hooking the elastic into the end of the centre cord, it is now deflected once and fixed in place with a clamp - this should completely eliminate the need for knots. In general, the length of the trapeze tamp can be adjusted, with settings from 22 to 34 inches possible. The Artness V2 system is available immediately, it costs 59 euros and can be ordered for HERE can be ordered.
