ROOSTER AQUAFLEECE® ROBE
Stay warm this winter with this Rooster Aquafleece® Robe. “This is an oversized, versatile 3 in 1 jacket with removable quick drying teddy fleece lining – is an ideal Christmas gift for a budding watersports enthusiast. It is water and windproof, utilising our iconic Aquafleece® fabric at the outer shell. The fluffy teddy lining made from recycled polyester can be fully removed from the jacket giving the ability to wash it, keep it fresh or replace it when worn out. It’s super versatile and can be worn as an oversized waterproof jacket when the lining is removed. All our Aquafleece® is bonded with a fleece inner, so even without the fluffy lining, it’s a brilliant jacket.”

SURFBENT
Want to protect a windsurfer this Christmas, then listen to what Surfbent have to say: “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 mast foot 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 mast foot up to 122mm in diameter. Also available for Starboard iQFoil 85 & 95 boards.”
