FLYMOUNT AERO-40
Flymount have your Christmas selfies sorted – “Our new Aero-40 mount for windsurf rigs is now available. The Aero-40 incorporates our patent pending one-handle-design tightening system, making it extremely strong, compact and lightweight. Compared to our original mount, the Aero-40 attaches centrally on a mast, to capture both tacks, and its symmetrical design is largely hidden when using a 360 degree camera. As with all Flymounts, the Aero-40 is manufactured in small numbers here in England using glass reinforced nylon and stainless steel 316 to keep your camera in place whatever conditions you use it in. Weight: 96g.”
RRP: £65

SURFBENT
Keep your board safe this Christmas with Surfbent – “If you want to prevent your beloved board from getting damaged and avoid annoying repairs, the new Surfbent Windsurf board Protector (wbp) can help. The Surfbent wbp is made of a tough plastic material that attaches directly to the base of your mast and reduces the energy of the impact via the powerjoint or chord (energy reduction through deformation), so that damage to the nose is reduced or avoided. The mastfoot can be completely shifted in the mast track, so that sail and board can be trimmed optimally. Surfbent wbp is available in four colours, weighs approx. 340g, and can be mounted on any board with a mastfoot up to 122 mm diameter. Also available for Starboard iQFoil 95 & 85 boards.”
RRP €68 Euro
