UNIFIBER BASEPLATE TENDON JOINT ELITE U PIN WINDSURFING
RRP £80.00
The Elite Baseplate builds on the robustness of the HD model while enhancing security and ease of use.
Its top-grade TPU tendon core can be disassembled and replaced by
hand, allowing you to inspect the tendon anytime and anywhere. The POK
plastic caps secure the tendon pins. They snap into place easily, but
cannot be moved while the baseplate is connected to the board/mast
extension. You'll never be surprised by a broken tendon!
Stainless steel components form an uninterrupted link from the T-nut
to the extension, guaranteeing a solid connection even if the plastic
parts show signs of wear.
The U-Pin section on top remains a single solid stainless-steel piece, ensuring lasting durability.
Molded from rugged POK engineering plastic, the baseplate maintains
its ergonomic design and is easy to unscrew, even after intense
sessions. The baseplate features a sliding pin that automatically
secures the joint in its slot. It can be unlocked with a sand-resistant
push button. Activating it releases the join from the base, allowing you
to keep it connected to your board for convenient transport and
storage.
The disk, also made of POK plastic, features an EVA layer and guiding knob for excellent grip on the deck.
For added safety, both the top and bottom parts of the baseplate are
connected with a Spectra safety rope, capable of withstanding up to 650
kg of a breakload.
