An innovative kit for wingfoil.
The Artness kit is the brainchild of A3D Sport, a French family business with a passion for watersports. This kit attaches to your wing, letting you ride with a harness line. Unlike other bulky or tricky-to-install systems, the Artness kit is lightweight, easy to use, and compatible with any wing.
Installation and Retraction
Setting up this kit takes just 2 minutes with reinforced Velcro. It works with all wings, whether you prefer soft handles, rigid handles, or a boom. A major highlight is the automatic retraction system. When you depower, the strap retracts against the wing. This prevents interference and entanglement during maneuvers. It's incredibly useful for switching between free riding and technical sections.
Construction and materials
The kit's parts are crafted with 3D printing. This makes them incredibly lightweight yet extremely robust. They can withstand significant tension without damaging your wing. The line is made from Dyneema. The fastenings use reinforced Velcro for both durability and abrasion resistance.
Dynamic Adjustment (Pro Version)
With the Pro kit, you can adjust the line length while riding, thanks to a clamcleat system similar to those found on windsurf boards. This is perfect for changing your posture between cruising and technical maneuvers like jibes and tacks. The V2 version, on the other hand, is adjusted on land before your session and maintains stable tension throughout your ride.
