Nobody wants to lose a wing, or worse, to put yourself and others at risk of injury. The innovative Anchorman system provides both enhanced safety and security against the loss of your wing. Anchorman automatically deploys the US Patent-pending sea anchor when you release the safety handle.
Tested in extreme conditions, the sea anchor reliably prevents your wing from tumbling away even in the strongest winds. Confident that your wing will stay put, you are free to release earlier, thus avoiding potentially dangerous situations before they occur..
This new found freedom to ditch your wing also provides the confidence to explore new and exciting foilsurfing and downwinding possibilities. Imagine using your wing as a foil-assist to get you up on foil then passing off the wing between multiple riders in a line-up so you can take turns picking off swells.
This is what we like to call "passing the baton" in which foilsurfing and downwinders are a relay event between riders.
As avid foilers, Cloud 9 has designed and tested their premium Anchorman system to provide the ultimate wing foil experience. We hope that you will enjoy and share your experiences with us.

I have torn up wings twice in the past trying to manage a 6M wing and my foil in heavy shore break at high tide. Would this work for taking my wing out first beyond the shore break, then joining it with my board; followed by doing the reverse on the way it? Thanks.

A friend has been trying to get me to do this for a month. I have been reluctant. The high wind clips of this working just changed my mind. Thanks!

Have been having a blast with my new Anchorman! It works fantastic! However, word of warning.... Make sure the safety leash is longer than the chord length of your wing (leading edge to trailing edge). If not, when the wing flips, the anchor comes out of the water, increasing the speed that the wing travels downwind. Almost learned that the hard way when I released my 7m and almost wasn't able to catch it. Definitely not a product defect!!! The solution is to use a longer leash with bigger wings, or stick to smaller wings. :)

Would be great if they could adapt this for accidental losing wing / broken leash

I think the technical name is a sea sock. Used in sailboats in a storm to keep the bow pointed into the wind. By the way, the sailing ones are cone shaped with some water allowed to pass through. Not sure of the advantage of this design but maybe worth trying.

This is brilliant. I might try wing surfing now.

[MattGudwin]

Ordered. Can’t wait to send some wing-assisted prone downwinders! Thanks guys!

Looks like a great idea. I absolutely hate leashes. I stopped using kiteboard leashes long before most people even knew what what I was doing. Broke a bunch and they were crazy dangerous. I use sea anchors for kayak drift fishing in open water. I'm going to look for one to try. Might be a great safety for SUPs as well.

[lakechamplainkitenwing]

Awesome! Been looking for one but had no idea how to find it, and you guys just happen to demo it. Love you guys!!!! Purchasing it when I’m done writing this.

[robadair]

Nice review, you convinced me. That OR wing looks good on you guys! Cheers

[davidkrichardson]

A great use for this is to get out through shorebreak. I can either board or wing safely past shorebreak, but getting both out together is risky.

Genial Leash! La tabla KT tiene muy buena pinta, haras review? Un saludo😀

[hendrikbonthuys]

That’s such a super useful invention! Thanks for the video, definitely gonna get one of these 👍

[deanwalton]

My idea is to not have the leash attatched to you at all. If you happen to let go of the wing after a crash( which seldom happens) the wing just stays there.would make hadle passes etc easier

[pheelers]

Neat, they use the same anchors with lifeboats so its easier to track them drifting around.

[svbluehighway]

Excellent review will certainly be thinking about getting on of these.

[tadejpeckaj]

i see you sre still using Ginxu 1st gen.. awesome board :)

[trevoremtman]

When you think you might crash just carefully deploy the sea anchor making sure it is set before gently letting the wing go. Let's see a realistic example so we can see if it actually works.

[RamonSBruhn]

Thx for your videos, they are so helpful. I normally have the board to the waist leash and the wing to the wrist. Should I have then better two waist belts? I am looking for a quick release on the board for safety for example if you are get washed in some waves. Thx a lot for advice.

[rutgerdezeeuw]

That's a lot of money for that. Fun idea anyway. I thought about this, Would actually like to have something similar for my board.
