Duotone eHarness Set

Unlike traditional systems that place the batteries on the mast top plate or the board, the Duotone Foil Assist batteries (2 x 1 kg) are housed in a waterproof box attached to a comfortable waist belt. This setup ensures that the board-foil combination stays perfectly balanced despite the motor, keeping the pure sensation of foiling as much as possible. Carrying batteries in a backpack has the drawback of putting weight on the shoulders, which can upset balance during turns and quick moves. With the belt, the weight rests on the hips, where it does not affect your balance, and you have full freedom of movement in your upper body. After just a few minutes, you will hardly notice the weight of the belt (about 3.76 kg, including the box and batteries).

The link between the batteries and the motor is made via a cable that runs along a shorter leash from the battery box to the mast’s top plate. The board leash is fastened below the cable port of the battery box to the belt. The receiver for the remote control is mounted in the lid of the battery box, ensuring a more reliable connection between the remote and the motor, as the Bluetooth signal is not disturbed by water.

The eHarness has been designed with a clear focus on safety and ease of use. The magnetic clasp and the Velcro neoprene strap allow for quick and easy removal. With the adjustable clasp, you can tailor the belt to fit your individual waist size. If you need to release the belt underwater, you can easily do so with a quick pull. Additionally, the belt is made from materials that do not soak up water and features built-in buoyancy, allowing it to float on its own and not drag you down in the water. To stop the battery box from opening under water pressure, it is protected with a neoprene cover that can be opened using a large zipper.
