Designed for dedicated days on the water, the OFFSHORE Vest Downwind offers practical, easily accessible pockets to carry essentials like water, tools, phone, snacks, and safety gear. Its trail running-inspired fit ensures excellent upper body mobility while foiling.
Compact on the water yet spacious enough for numerous accessories—including a wing—thanks to two external straps that enable comfortable wing deflation and storage outside the bag.
Bright wing colors enhance visibility from a distance. For optimal convenience, pair it with the WING PADDLE ATTACHMENTS to secure your paddle along the wing’s central strut, providing a more comfortable alternative to the vest’s paddle attachments.
A word about “deflating”:
SUP foil downwind is becoming increasingly popular, but the logistics of a downwinder are complicated. Riding upwind with a wing, deflating, and then paddling out is much more practical: no car, possibility of choosing the length of your DW, etc.
MANERA has therefore decided to create a light, practical vest adapted to this sport: the OFFSHORE.
Note related to SUP foil downwinding: There are handy, mini hand pumps that can re-inflate a wing in just a few minutes, up to 6-7 PSI. These pumps can be a safety feature in case of difficulty (e.g. inability to take-off). They fit in the OFFSHORE's pocket, and we've designed a nozzle to adapt these pumps to F-ONE wings’ valves.
