Nobody wants to lose a wing, or worse, to put yourself and others at risk of injury. The innovative Anchorman system provides both enhanced safety and security against the loss of your wing. Anchorman automatically deploys the US Patent-pending sea anchor when you release the safety handle.
Tested in extreme conditions, the sea anchor reliably prevents your wing from tumbling away even in the strongest winds. Confident that your wing will stay put, you are free to release earlier, thus avoiding potentially dangerous situations before they occur..
This new found freedom to ditch your wing also provides the confidence to explore new and exciting foilsurfing and downwinding possibilities. Imagine using your wing as a foil-assist to get you up on foil then passing off the wing between multiple riders in a line-up so you can take turns picking off swells.
This is what we like to call "passing the baton" in which foilsurfing and downwinders are a relay event between riders.
As avid foilers, Cloud 9 has designed and tested their premium Anchorman system to provide the ultimate wing foil experience. We hope that you will enjoy and share your experiences with us.

I have torn up wings twice in the past trying to manage a 6M wing and my foil in heavy shore break at high tide. Would this work for taking my wing out first beyond the shore break, then joining it with my board; followed by doing the reverse on the way it? Thanks.
Wow! Didn’t think of doing it like that! Yes it would work 100%, we will make a video on that! Thanks for sharing!
Yes did this the other day, makes it super simple to exit
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam At 3:10 in the video you say "... it's a way to get out. To not rip everything to pieces ...". What did you mean by that?
@@3421Greg Sometimes coming in though the shore break can be a nightmare with the board and foil. You could activate it and get yourself in with the board and go back and get your wing or at least separate from each other coming in.
A friend has been trying to get me to do this for a month. I have been reluctant. The high wind clips of this working just changed my mind. Thanks!
It really is so incredibly good!
Let’s go!
I think the technical name is a sea sock. Used in sailboats in a storm to keep the bow pointed into the wind. By the way, the sailing ones are cone shaped with some water allowed to pass through. Not sure of the advantage of this design but maybe worth trying.
Ordered. Can’t wait to send some wing-assisted prone downwinders! Thanks guys!
Matt its so awesome! Your going to love it.
This is brilliant. I might try wing surfing now.
Nice review, you convinced me. That OR wing looks good on you guys! Cheers
The Ocean Rodeo was great very balanced and reviews coming soon, we love it... Very nice! The leash is 100% a must have!
Looks like a great idea. I absolutely hate leashes. I stopped using kiteboard leashes long before most people even knew what what I was doing. Broke a bunch and they were crazy dangerous. I use sea anchors for kayak drift fishing in open water. I'm going to look for one to try. Might be a great safety for SUPs as well.
That’s such a super useful invention! Thanks for the video, definitely gonna get one of these 👍
Happy we could help!
Would be great if they could adapt this for accidental losing wing / broken leash
A great use for this is to get out through shorebreak. I can either board or wing safely past shorebreak, but getting both out together is risky.
Awesome! Been looking for one but had no idea how to find it, and you guys just happen to demo it. Love you guys!!!! Purchasing it when I’m done writing this.
Thank you friend its awesome!
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam Bought! Arrives Monday. Thanks for the DAMO discount!!!
@@lakechamplainkitenwing Glad we could help! Enjoy it.....
Excellent review will certainly be thinking about getting on of these.
Its awesome!
Genial Leash! La tabla KT tiene muy buena pinta ,haras review? Un saludo😀
Brilliant innovation 🤩
Neat, they use the same anchors with lifeboats so its easier to track them drifting around.
awesome idea!!
My idea is to not have the leash attatched to you at all. If you happen to let go of the wing after a crash( which seldom happens) the wing just stays there.would make hadle passes etc easier
How does this work in head high to overhead waves? When waves get larger it can be difficult to throw the wing over the breaking wave, and when the wave catches the wing the power can damage the wing and cause the rider to be pulled very hard and into a dangerous position relative to the foil. This could be a good solution if it allows the rider to ditch the wing and have the wing pushed to the inside without being destroyed.
Have been having a blast with my new Anchorman! It works fantastic! However, word of warning.... Make sure the safety leash is longer than the chord length of your wing (leading edge to trailing edge). If not, when the wing flips, the anchor comes out of the water, increasing the speed that the wing travels downwind. Almost learned that the hard way when I released my 7m and almost wasn't able to catch it. Definitely not a product defect!!! The solution is to use a longer leash with bigger wings, or stick to smaller wings. :)
Than you so much for sharing you rock!
When you think you might crash just carefully deploy the sea anchor making sure it is set before gently letting the wing go. Let's see a realistic example so we can see if it actually works.
nice nice guys !
Thank you!
Have you tried releasing inside the break zone yet? I'm envisioning that the waves will eventually push the chute and wing to shore, where the water will drain from the chute and the wing will start sliding down the beach with the chute following (if I haven't arrived in time to stop it). As bad as that sounds, I'm more concerned about getting tumbled while still leashed to my board. If I release it too, then it seems like I stand even less of a chance of making it to the beach before the wing. I'd like to try winging on bigger days, but when I play through all the potential scenarios, I just don't see how to do it safely. Perhaps ya'll can enlighten me. Thanks 😄🤙
All great points! from what we have seen it really is an anchor and holds the wing from going anywhere fast. You should be able to have time to get to it. As even in current you will be in the same situation. The tumbling with the board is always a factor no one likes. You can release it and let the board go to the beach as well not ideal but you are not tumbling with it. A lot of factors when you have advanced or extreme conditions.
Thx for your videos, they are so helpful. I normally have the board to the waist leash and the wing to the wrist. Should I have then better two waist belts? I am looking for a quick release on the board for safety for example if you are get washed in some waves. Thx a lot for advice.
Ramon, Great question, I am thinking we could attach the board leash to the actual cloud9 waist, leash as well and the wing and board could be on the parachute when activated. Would have to test it but believe it could work. Might just need this and would be done deal! Would have to test it. Was a thought later for us.
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam Thx but do you mean realeasing both at the same time? I prefer to have them separate, on same belt is ok but not on the same leash. For the board dont think I need an anchor, I guess that if the leash brakes it will break somewhere in between.
@@RamonSBruhn I understand was just thinking out loud as they might be able to be on the same one.
I wing in a spot with a tough shore break. Could you take your wing out first, leave it behind the break then go back and get your board?
Absolutely, that's a great idea, we will make a video to show how it can be used in the shore break soon!
Did you leave Cabrinha?
Looks like you set the wing down nicely every time. Did you do any test where you pulled the safety and let go of the wing overhead?
Yep they tested it in 50 knots so anything can really happen! :)
I throw mine over head or however. Makes no difference.Worst thing you can do is fall as you let go of the wing and you end up upwind of it. Paddle fast and hard.Done this and managed to catch it but......its not easy on a 35lt.
Sea anchor ❤
That's a lot of money for that. Fun idea anyway. I thought about this, Would actually like to have something similar for my board.
DIY would be pretty easy to do
I wonder if it would work with a kite??
It looks like you have a communication thingy on that helmet...do you guys have a radio system that you are using for real time coms on DW'ers?
Yes we use BB Talkin', that way we can still communicate easily! www.bbtalkinusa.com
What's your thoughts on how this will work in the Columbia river? Strong current going one direction, wind going the other. I'm stoked to try this and am wondering if the wing will run away with the current, stay in place due to opposing forces, or slowly go downwind...
I could see this taking the wing away upwind with the conveyor belt river current, especially out in the main channel.
@@AdamsHadEnough I agree with you. Could be interesting to see how it acts early vs late season. I think it would also be cool if smaller anchors, or even anchors with slits in them got developed to encourage the wing to move with the wind, and/or allow current through. Just another unique addition to the toy chest!
They tested it in 50 knots! Should be just fine.....
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam I'm sure it will hold, but will it run away in the wrong direction and be lost! 🤣 the river current here goes the opposite direction that you ride, so as you are going downwind, the river would be pulling the wing upwind.
Hi Guys,
Chris here from Cloud9. We tested it out at Hood River last Summer and it was the highlight of our trip. We used it in good winds using a 5.0m 4.2m and 2.8m 20-30mph average and one day it was gusting to 50mph at Rufus I don’t know all the speeds of the current like you guys would but it worked unreal for us. Drop the wing and it still wants to drift downwind which is up the river. Cool part is you surf downwind or up river then the current took us back quickly to our wing. So much fun!!! Maybe light wind strong current not good???
Can you use it to anchor the wing with sand on the beach or it won't hold?
Yes, you can use it as a sand bag. Fill it with sand drop it in a hole and bury it.🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
hey guys is there a board that i can use for pumping and winging as a beginner ?
Sure thing reach out to www.wingfoilprocenter.com for assistance.
It doesn’t work if your leash breaks apart from the leading edge….
Not sure I’m going to completely ditch my wing in the waves…
Maybe fun to use with another foiler, but I don’t really see the purpose…
The only use for this would be your harness breaks and hopefully the anchor knows it should deploy:(
How do you like the ginxu???
We love it! Review coming soon! 😁
Amazing. You should try it with an actual kite? Might work??
Already in the works!
Does it work as super minimalist harness too. Or is it too uncomfortable?
Not sure I understand the question?
It would probably be as comfortable as any 2 inch waist belt. Not very.
@@robadair Yea its more of a strap not as much support of course as a harness! Kind of nice as it is minimalistic.
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam Trying to understand if it's better to add a hook to the belt or if it's possible to connect just the leash to an actual wing harness. In case I also want something to help a bit when going upwind.
@@Wingfoiler Yea I think it would have to be tested with a harness line. I am sure it will work but not a ton of support more of a strap.
Show me how to put it back in within 30seconds in the Water and I believe you!
Its really easy no joke.....
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam prove it!
I often use it and just throw it down the front of my wetsuit top or just hang it off the belt like tucking in your shirt in to your pants when I know I’m going to drop it again and again. But it really does pack up super quick. 💯👍🏽
How to get this in Europe?
haikusports is the ditributer for cloud 9 stuff in Germany
Great idea but 130.00? I think I can make my own for a whole lot less dinero
Now imagine 20 of these in the water 🧐
Right! :)
I want a shirt!!
Coming soon on our online store: www.wingfoilprocenter.com 😁
No more cabrinha?
My guess is that since they’re opening a school and shop - they’re spreading their brand relationships.
Yes we are starting a shop and a school and are working with many different brands, check it out: www.wingfoilprocenter.com (shop part under construction)
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam What a guess!
1st of April again?
No joke, this leash is absolutely killer!
What language are they speaking? We need a translator here!
Alan cadiz rip off. just a copy. nothing new
