Duotone Uphaul Gripster Windsurf Uphaul
The Duotone Uphaul Gripster is a comfortable, easy-grip windsurf uphaul aimed at beginner and intermediate riders — EVA-coated grip tubes make pulling your rig up out of the water easier on the hands, and it won't swing about while you sail.
Every windsurf setup needs a good uphaul — it's the line you pull on to lift your rig (sail and boom) up out of the water when you start. Duotone have refined the Gripster to suit just about any user, with a focus on making life easier for those learning.
Key features
- EVA grip tubes — EVA-coated plastic inserts sit over the webbing. They're slightly thicker with a good grip, so it takes less effort to use, especially for beginners.
- Adjustable at both ends — set it just tight without any pre-stretch to guarantee the ideal fit and perfect lever ratios.
- Dyneema rope at the upper end — virtually eliminates wear and tear.
- Replaceable bungee loop at the bottom — swap it out easily instead of writing off the whole uphaul.
