The Patrik Free Fall Hook

More safety, more confidence, more fun on the water

Anyone who is really fast at windsurfing foiling knows that if you get really torn up, it can happen in a flash. A moment of inattention, a small mistake - and boom, catapult deluxe. There's now something new for moments like these: the Patrik Free Fall Hook.

It's not a gimmick, but a real safety tool that protects you and your equipment in the event of a crash.

How it all began.

The Free Fall Hook was invented by Frank Rozier, a passionate foiler who had had enough after a violent crash with a broken foot. Instead of just complaining, he got to work - and developed the idea for an automatically releasing harness hook system.
His goal: to prevent injuries and restore confidence in foiling.

Together with Patrik Diethelm, Frank's idea became a market-ready product. The result: a clever mechanism that does exactly what you need in extreme situations - it lets go.

And this is how the free fall hook works:

The Free Fall Hook recognizes when it's too much. If the load is too high, it triggers automatically - exactly when you are hanging in the air and the crash is unavoidable.
The aim: to protect you from injury and protect your equipment at the same time. No broken booms, no destroyed sails, no unnecessary stress - simply more safety and confidence on the water.

In principle, the whole thing works like a ski binding for windsurfing - smart, safe and individual.

Technically sophisticated, but easy to handle

A robust lever ensures reliability, and the whole system is easy to maintain and durable.
Even if you sink the part in the sand - no drama. The hook is easy to dismantle, clean and reassemble.
