If you're just starting in wing foil or are already linking more technical transitions, you inevitably spend time on your knees. The result is often a worn-out wetsuit and sore knees. The RIDE ENGINE RUNWAY KNEEPAD provides a real protective barrier. With a ballistic kneecap shell lined with closed-cell foam and an ergonomic neoprene design, it stays put while providing effective protection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Why You'll Want Them
The trickiest part of wing foiling is often the kneeling start. The Runway puts a ballistic shell backed by closed-cell foam between your knee and your board. This means fewer pressure points, less wear and tear on your wetsuit, and real impact protection. The whole pad stays flexible thanks to 4-way stretch neoprene, so you keep all your mobility for getting to your feet and pumping.
Choosing the Right Size
Available in two sizes: S/M and L/XL. Choose S/M for a small to medium build or for wearing on bare skin. Go for L/XL for a medium to large build or for wearing over a thick wetsuit. The fit should be comfortable, allowing the kneepad to follow your movements without slipping.
Construction and Materials
An ergonomic, articulated design follows the bend of your knee. The pad is made with 4-way stretch performance neoprene for comfort and durability, with closed-cell foam over the kneecap for shock absorption. Hexagonal textured grip zones keep you stable on your board's deck pad.
