Who is the Vinaka Pro V1 suitable for?
The Vinaka Pro V1 is an upgrade for everyone from intermediate to experienced wingsurfers. It supports you during both long, relaxed cruising sessions and ambitious upwind sailing and pumping against the wind.
What features does the Vinaka Pro V1 offer?
The harness features a thermoformed, body-contoured design, an integrated support band in the back for optimal weight distribution, a The-NUG Sliding Hook with Easy-In/Easy-Out geometry, and two D-rings for attaching the leash.
Is the harness water-repellent and lightweight?
Yes, the thermoformed design ensures that the harness does not absorb water. This means it retains its low weight even after hours on the water, allowing you to enjoy lasting comfort without chafing.
What advantages does the Sliding Hook offer when wingsurfing?
The laterally adjustable harness hook with Easy-In/Easy-Out geometry can simply be pushed aside when paddling, riding toeside, or getting onto the board. This prevents it from getting in the way while protecting your board from damage.

How do I properly care for the Vinaka Pro V1?
Rinse the harness with fresh water after every session and let it air dry, ideally out of direct sunlight. Since the thermoformed material does not absorb water, it dries quickly and retains its low weight.
Is the Vinaka Pro V1 also suitable for wing foiling beginners?
Yes, beginners in particular benefit early on from the reduced strain on their arms and hands. The harness allows for longer learning sessions because less strength is needed to hold the wing, ensuring more fun from the very beginning.
