With the Wingman Spinner, there is now a trapeze rope for wings on the market with which you can perform manoeuvres and tricks while hooked in.

More and more wingfoilers are using a harness. Until now, however, it has always been clear that before manoeuvres in which the wing rotates, you have to unhook yourself so that the trapeze rope does not twist. This unwritten law should now be a thing of the past with the Wingman Spinner harness rope, as the rope is designed in such a way that it allows the wing to rotate during manoeuvres.

The spinner rotates back to its starting position every time you unhook, ready to hook back in. The rope was developed together with Balz Müller and Alessandro Tomasi, two of the world's best wingfoilers. Each trapeze rope is assembled in the small workshop on Lake Garda using 3D-printed parts. The Wingman Spinner is currently available in five different lengths, but the system can also be customised in just a few minutes. The following short clip with Balz Müller clearly illustrates how the tamp works:
