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.
