Sheet updated September 2026
The Manera Wing Hook is Manera's dedicated harness hook for wingfoiling. It mounts on a harness or a leash belt with a 50mm front strap. Many wingfoilers think they don't need a harness, but that changes once they experience free flying and want to go upwind for extended periods to then enjoy a long downwind run. Manera's answer is the Wing Hook: a nylon and fiberglass hook that slides left or right on the strap. This design ensures it won't get in your way when you lie on the board. It's compatible with any harness or leash belt that has a 50mm front strap.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Why a hook for wingfoiling
When you're just going back and forth, your arms are usually enough. But when you start free flying, riding upwind to catch a swell, and then going downwind, holding the wing for long minutes will tire your forearms. A harness line fixed to the boom or handles, and then attached to a hook, transfers the effort to your hips. Manera designed the Wing Hook for exactly this purpose.
Assembly and Compatibility
The hook slides onto the front strap of a harness or a leash belt, provided it's 50 mm wide. It then slides freely on this strap: push it to the side to paddle while lying down, then bring it back to the center to ride. Made of nylon and fiberglass, it has withstood loads up to 400 kg in Manera tests. The harness line is not included.
Sliding, and why it matters
Wingfoiling often involves spending time lying on the board, paddling back to shore, or waiting for a gust. A fixed hook in the center of your belt gets in the way and can mark the deck. Manera's design allows it to slide: push it left or right with a single motion. This means it won't block your lying position or hinder getting back on the board, and it easily returns to the center for riding.
A shape designed not to unhook
The hook easily attaches to your harness line loop. Its shape ensures it won't release until you decide it should. This is the ideal balance for a wing hook: easy to engage, secure under load, and released with a deliberate movement when you want to put the wing away or fall without staying hooked.

FAQ - MANERA WING HOOK
This is for the wingfoiler who can already hold an edge and wants to ride upwind longer without tiring their forearms. When learning with an instructor or at a school, you first learn without a hook.
Mount it on any harness or leash belt with a 50 mm wide front strap. Check this width before ordering. If in doubt, call us with your belt's product code.
Yes. The hook mounts on the belt. The harness line attaches to the boom or the wing's handles. Both are sold separately.
