Duotone Add-On Drift Stopper

Maintaining your Drift Stopper

Rinse the device with fresh water after every use, especially after sailing in salt water, and remove any grains of sand from the rubber band and fins. Let it air-dry completely in the shade before storing it away - avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators, as these can cause the materials to wear out faster.

Regularly check the rubber band, buckles, and snap-button fin for wear, and make sure the fins are securely attached before heading out on the water. Store the Drift Stopper in a cool, dry place, preferably in the iRIG bag or a gear bag, when not in use. Never clean it with harsh chemicals - a soft cloth and fresh water are all you need.

What is the Duotone Add-On Drift Stopper?

It’s an accessory that prevents your inflatable SUP board from drifting sideways when you sail with a windsurf sail or wing. It works as the stabilizer most boards are missing because they don’t have a daggerboard or center fin.

Will it fit my board?

Yes, if you have a standard inflatable SUP board. The webbing strap fits boards from 75 to approx. 95 cm wide, and installation requires no fin box or tools.

How do I install the Drift Stopper?

Secure the unit to the board with the webbing strap so it hangs below the bottom. It takes just seconds and can be done on land or in the water.

Can I leave it on while paddling?

Paddling for longer distances with the unit is not recommended, as it creates drag in the water. Install it when sailing with a sail or wing, and remove it afterward.

Can the fins be removed for transport?

Yes, the fins can be easily detached with push buttons. This makes the unit small enough to fit in your iRIG bag or SUP bag.

Can it be used with sails other than iRIG?

Yes, the Drift Stopper is designed as an add-on for the Duotone iRIG, but it works with any windsurf sail or wing on an inflatable board.

How do I care for the product?

Rinse it in fresh water after use, let it dry in the shade, and regularly check the rubber strap and push buttons for wear. Store it in a cool, dry place between sessions.
