WHY SHOULD YOU USE A HARNESS FOR WING FOILING?

Hooking in lets you ride longer without burning out your arms, keeping you fresh to send it session after session. It’s a must in strong winds and gusty conditions, giving you more control while maintaining higher speeds. Plus, if you're riding in onshore or crosshore winds, a harness helps you stay upwind with ease—so you can save energy getting out and focus on ripping the waves unhooked on the way back.
