Manera Offshore Vest

SUP foil downwind is becoming increasingly popular, but the logistics of a downwinder are complicated. Riding upwind with a wing, deflating, and then paddling out is much more practical: no car, possibility of choosing the length of your DW, etc.

MANERA has therefore decided to create a light, practical vest adapted to this sport: the OFFSHORE.

The OFFSHORE is made for those who spend their day out there. It allows you to carry water, a tool, your phone, a snack, safety equipment and much more thanks to its practical and accessible pockets.

Its fit is inspired by trail running vests, hence maintaining a great freedom of movement and mobility of the upper body once at sea. The OFFSHORE takes up as little space as possible on the water, while still being able to carry a maximum number of accessories, including a wing! Indeed, thanks to its two external straps, it allows you to deflate in total comfort. Once you've reached your starting point, sit on your board, fold the wing, open the two straps, and compress the wing outside the bag. What's more, the often-flashy colors of the wings make you even more visible from afar.

We advise you to use the WING PADDLE ATTACHMENTS we've developed, so that you can secure your paddle along the central strut of your wing. The OFFSHORE bag has paddle attachments, but having the paddle in the wing is much more comfortable.

Deflator straps

Deflating has never been so easy! Thanks to its two external straps, the Offshore vest allows you to deflate in total comfort: fold the wing, open the two straps, and compress the wing outside the bag.

Integrated flashlight

Inspired by trail running vests, using light and resistant materials, the OFFSHORE is made to be forgotten.

Backpack - Hydratation bag

The outside pocket has a compartment for a hydration pack and a large pocket ready for your belongings.

(The hydratation bag is not included with the offshore.)

Low profile, lightweight, fitted

Inspired by trail running vests, using light and resistant materials, the OFFSHORE is made to be forgotten.

Whistle buckle

The chest release buckle features an integrated safety whistle, which may come in handy if you ever need to be heard or call for help at sea.

Front pockets

Keep your phone and VHF radio close at hand, on your chest.

Paddle attachment

We recommend attaching the paddle along the central strut of the wing, but it's perfectly possible to have it on your back as in a "quiver" thanks to the two straps.

Leash attachments
The vest features a multitude of leash attachments to secure caps, bucket hats, glasses, phones and other accessories.

Hand pump connector

The hand pump connector is a tip/connector used to connect the valve of your wing with a standard balloon pump. This allows you to carry a compact pump in a bag, which you can use if you need to re-inflate your Wing, during a downwind.

*The Connector is not included in the OFFSHORE vest. For commercial reasons, we did not produce this connector. But we still wanted everyone to be able to access the design and have it 3D-printed at home, so you'll find a link below to download the ready-to-print design.

*Disclaimer: Downwinding require physical preparation, proper security devices, and assistance at sea. Please do not attempt any downwinders alone or without proper training.
