starboard jim drake x 15 trapez

Built. For Speed

The Jim Drake Slalom / Freerace Windsurf Harness distributes the load evenly across your legs, buttocks, and back. Ideal for riders who are looking for speed, whether freeriding, slalom, or racing. Perfect for relieving pressure on your back while offering maximum comfort under high loads, as the unique force distribution reduces lateral forces on the hips and back.

Main Key Features

Injected back support

Bag for additional weights

Six load distribution points

Helps reduce back pain

Injection Molded Support

With its injection-molded back support and six distribution points running through the legs and waist, the harness offers you an extremely direct yet flexible riding experience. This allows you to concentrate fully on speed instead of control.

Pushing the Limits

If you want even more speed, you can insert weights into the vertical pockets on the back of the harness. The pockets are neatly hidden behind the 3D-shaped support so that comfort and feel on the back are not compromised.
Add weights for more speed, take them out for freeriding.

Adapts to your body position

It's a different kind of harness: not a seat harness, but not a hip harness either.
When walking on the beach, it feels a little strange at first because a special angle is created that presses into the middle of your back. But as soon as you are in the riding position, it adapts to your posture. The pressure is distributed comfortably across your entire back and buttocks, not just on one point.

The Hours Count

What I like most about the Drake harness is the back support. I can ride for hours and not get any pain!
It's a great combination of hip and seat harness. Perfect for formula windsurfing too!

Ergonomic Spine Support

The Drake Trapeze is a fantastic advancement in terms of performance enhancement and aerobic efficiency: it helps slalom and freeride riders to optimally coordinate the leverage of their lower body and achieve a new level of board control.
With this harness, you can experience what top PWA racers do with their abs, hips, and legs to push their boards to the limit while reducing the aerobic and anaerobic energy consumption normally associated with this.

Another big advantage of this harness is that it supports the natural curvature of your spine and optimizes weight distribution across your back.
