The DEFLATER BAG, unlike the more versatile OFFSHORE VEST, is dedicated solely to downwind deflaters.
Made of ripstop and Dacron from kites and wings, it's ultra-light, waterproof and resistant, so you don't feel it on your back.
Weight: 500g
Compression straps and Velcro fasteners secure it to your back when empty and when riding upwind. Then, its large pocket and roll-top closure allow you to fit a wing of 5m² or more inside.
An opening on the underside allows water to be drained off when the wing is stowed away, and the ultra-simple closing system ensures that no water enters once the wing is inside, even during heavy falls.
It also features a compartment for a hydration pack (non included).
The DEFLATER BAG is the ultimate gear for your downwind deflaters!
We advise you to use the WING PADDLE ATTACHMENTS we've developed, so that you can secure your paddle along the central strut of your wing.
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 lightweight, practical equipment adapted to this new sport, such as the OFFSHORE VEST and the DEFLATER BAG.
Disclaimer: Downwinding require physical preparation, proper security devices, and assistance at sea. Please do not attempt any downwinders alone or without proper training.
