The Patrik Free Fall Hook

More safety, more confidence, more fun on the water

Anyone who's been known to pick up some serious speed while windsurfing knows that when you wipe out, it happens in a flash. A moment of inattention, a small mistake – and boom, catapult deluxe. Now there's something new for just such moments: the Patrik Free Fall Hook.

This isn't a gimmick, but a real safety tool that protects you and your equipment when things go wrong.

How it all began.

The Free Fall Hook was invented by Frank Rozier, a passionate foiler who had had enough after a violent crash that left him with a broken foot. Instead of just complaining, he tinkered around – and came up with the idea for an automatically triggering harness hook system.
His goal: to prevent injuries and restore confidence in foiling.

Together with 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.

Here's how the Free Fall Hook works:

The Free Fall Hook recognizes when things get too intense. If the load gets too high, it automatically releases – right when you're hanging in the air and a crash is unavoidable.
The goal: to protect you from injury while also protecting your gear. No broken booms, no destroyed sails, no unnecessary stress – just more safety and confidence on the water.

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

Technically sophisticated, but easy to use

.

A robust lever ensures reliability, and the entire system is maintenance-friendly and durable.
Even if you bury it in the sand, it's no big deal. The hook can be easily disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled.
