Forward WIP
Protective gear for water sports enthusiasts who know what can happen on the water
Forward WIP was founded in 2015 with a specific goal: to develop safety equipment for water sports enthusiasts that actually works, particularly for foiling, which reaches speeds of over 30 km/h. Since the human body is naturally designed to withstand impact speeds of up to 20 km/h, higher speeds create new risks that make protective gear a real concern. Forward WIP has since established itself as a leading brand for protective gear in competitive water sports, worn by World Cup athletes and Olympians.
Technology that provides real protection
Forward WIP does not develop its products based on the idea that “soft enough feels safe.” Each product line is based on proprietary technologies: WIP Inside ensures precise impact absorption in helmets and vests, WIP 3DS features a three-dimensional mapping system that precisely adapts protective layers to the body’s shape, and Eco Cork provides sustainable protective inserts made from recycled industrial waste. Flow Vortex technology optimizes aerodynamic and hydrodynamic properties so that protective gear doesn’t slow the rider down. The result is products that are as unobtrusive as possible out on the trail, but are there exactly when it matters most.
Not sure which WIP product is right for you?
At Wind Lounge, we carry the entire Forward WIP line of windsurfing and wingfoiling gear: Helmets, impact protection vests, 50N Wing vests with integrated harness hooks, harnesses, leashes, and Wetsuit accessories. If you’re not sure which product is right for your discipline, your spot, and your setup, the Wind Lounge team will be happy to assist you personally.
Mario and the Wind Lounge team are happy to help you with any questions you may have:
Which helmet is right for my activity and fits properly?
Do I need a 50N vest, or is an impact protection vest sufficient?
Can I use the integrated harness hook on the Wing vest with my Wing?
What’s the best leash combination for wing foiling?
