HIGHBACK AIR

This is probably the most comfortable harness available, with a clear focus on back support and an ideal fit thanks to the CONTOUR.AIRBAG system. This is further supported by four new COMFORT.CUTOUTS on the outside and two 3D MOLDED.SIDE.PATCHES on the inside, which make the harness slightly softer and smoother at these spots. The four-point strap system, additional pads around the hips, and extensive pressure distribution in the hip area comfortably translate wind pressure into board speed.

Innovative material mixture:

We are also exploring new ways in harness construction to achieve the ideal combination of direct power transfer and pleasant comfort. Against the current trend of fully moulded waist harnesses, we intentionally use only partially moulded parts. The reason is that fully moulded harnesses consist of a single foam density, so that they are equally hard everywhere. Although this type of construction looks spectacular, it can‘t be really comfortable. Therefore, we combine classic materials with three-dimensional components. We use foams of different type, hardness, and form, allowing us to adjust the different harness parts to the respective requirements and keep the harness flexible. All 3D patches are covered with very soft Lycra to avoid grazing the skin when surfing stripped to the waist.
