Wingfoil / Parawing / Lowkite Hook

This lightweight and flexible wingfoil hook is perfect for riders looking for a minimalist setup without a bulky harness. It attaches directly to an impact vest or belts with non-removable buckles. The adjustable screw lets you choose whether the hook moves freely or stays fixed in place. Available in three options (27 mm - 55 mm) to fit different belt sizes.

Update – Version V5 now available!
The new V5 version combines the best of both previous models and introduces enhanced functionality. With three mounting holes, it fits a wider range of belt widths (27 mm to 55 mm) and offers improved stability. This version is slightly stronger and prevents the hook from tilting downward when unhooking, on narrow belts. Recommended print version.

Inspiration & Innovation:

Born out of necessity, this hook was designed from scratch after failing to find a compatible solution for my ION impact vest. Created using Plasticity, it blends functionality with a unique, elephant-inspired shape.

Use & Limitations:

This hook is optimized for impact vests with narrow straps and works best with stiff harness lines. Not designed for heavy-duty use like windsurfing or kiteboarding.
