Anchorman Wing Safety System – The Ultimate Wingfoil Leash with Integrated Sea Anchor
Every wingfoiler knows the feeling: one moment of inattention and your wing is tumbling downwind, putting yourself and others at serious risk of injury. The Anchorman is the innovative wingfoil safety system that changes everything — combining enhanced rider safety with reliable wing retention, so you can push your limits with full confidence.
How It Works The moment you release the safety handle, Anchorman automatically deploys its US Patent-pending sea anchor (Seeanker). No manual steps, no delay. The chute deploys instantly, creating drag that stops your wing from tumbling away — even in the strongest winds. Tested in extreme conditions across open water and exposed downwind runs, the Anchorman delivers reliable performance where a standard wing leash simply cannot.
Freedom to Ride, Freedom to Release Knowing your wing stays put gives you a new kind of freedom on the water. Release earlier, avoid dangerous situations before they escalate, and ride with the confidence that your equipment — and the riders around you — are protected. Whether you're wingfoiling on the Baltic Sea at Fehmarn, SUP foiling on alpine lakes, or running long downwinders in strong winds, the Anchorman gives you the safety margin to explore further.
This freedom also unlocks entirely new wingfoil and downwinding possibilities. Use your wing as a foil-assist to get up on foil, then pass it between multiple riders in a line-up — what we call "passing the baton": turning your downwinder into a relay event between foilers picking off swells one by one.
Now with the New 20" Chute The updated 20-inch canopy provides even greater drag and stability, holding your wing significantly more stationary after release. The larger canopy means more reliable retention in gusty, high-wind conditions — ideal for the variable wind conditions common to Europe / North Sea and Baltic Sea sessions.
Premium Quality, Built for Serious Foilers Designed and tested by avid foilers, the Anchorman is built for wingfoilers who demand more from their safety equipment. It's not a basic leash — it's a purpose-built wingfoil safety system for riders who venture into more demanding conditions: strong winds, open water, crowded line-ups, and committed downwind runs.
