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.
*Disclaimer: Downwinding require physical preparation, proper security devices, and assistance at sea. Please do not attempt any downwinders alone or without proper training.
Deflator straps
Deflating has never been so easy! Thanks to its two external straps, the Offshore vest allows you to deflate in total comfort: fold the wing, open the two straps, and compress the wing outside the bag.
Integrated flashlight
Inspired by trail running vests, using light and resistant materials, the OFFSHORE is made to be forgotten.
Backpack + Hydratation bag
The outside pocket has a compartment for a hydration pack and a large pocket ready for your belongings.
Low profile, lightweight, fitted
Inspired by trail running vests, using light and resistant materials, the OFFSHORE is made to be forgotten.
Whistle buckle
The chest release buckle features an integrated safety whistle, which may come in handy if you ever need to be heard or call for help at sea.
Front pockets
Keep your phone and VHF radio close at hand, on your chest.
Paddle attachment
We recommend attaching the paddle along the central strut of the wing, but it's perfectly possible to have it on your back as in a "quiver" thanks to the two straps.
Leash attachments
The vest features a multitude of leash attachments to secure caps, bucket hats, glasses, phones and other accessories.
