Anti Twist Washer Hi-Fly

The Anti Twist Washer Hi-Fly is a specific footstrap washer designed to prevent unwanted rotation of footstraps on windsurf boards, ensuring a stable and comfortable foot position while sailing.

This small component is ideal for those who want to keep their footstrap angle always under control, preventing them from moving after maneuvers, jumps, or harder landings.

Key features

• Anti-twist washer designed for Hi-Fly board footstrap systems and compatible ones.
• Helps maintain the correct orientation of the straps, reducing rotation.
• Simple and functional design, easy to install between screw, strap, and deck.
• Suitable for intensive use in marine environments (salt, sand, water).
• Economical and effective solution for improving board control.

Benefits for windsurfers

• More stable footstraps: the washer limits rotation, improving control when planing.
• Greater comfort: the foot stays in the desired position, reducing continuous micro-adjustments.
• Simple upgrade: a small but useful component for modernizing even older boards.
• Ideal for schools, rental centers, and riders who want a clean and consistent setup.

Example of use

If the board's footstraps tend to rotate after a few runs or after a jump, simply insert the Anti Twist Washer Hi-Fly in the fastening area (between the screw and the strap, or according to the board configuration). This way, the strap maintains the set angle, ensuring a more direct and precise feel on the foot.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Which boards is it compatible with?

The Anti Twist Washer Hi-Fly is designed for footstrap systems of Hi-Fly boards and other models with similar fastenings. In many cases, it is also compatible with boards from other brands, provided the hole and screw have standard dimensions.

How do you install the anti-twist washer?

Normally, the washer is placed between the fastening screw and the footstrap, or between the strap and the deck, depending on the configuration. It is important to tighten the screw uniformly to prevent play and maintain the anti-rotation function.

Can it replace existing standard washers?

Yes, it can replace simple washers that do not have an anti-twist function. In many setups, simply replacing the existing washer with the Anti Twist Washer Hi-Fly is enough to achieve better strap angle locking.

Is it also suitable for older boards?

Often yes, especially if the board uses standard size screws and holes for the footstraps. For very old boards or those with proprietary systems, it is advisable to check compatibility with a dealer or service center.

Does it require maintenance?

The washer itself requires minimal maintenance. It is good practice to periodically check the tightness of the screws and rinse with fresh water after use to prevent sand or salt buildup in the fastening area.

Can I use multiple washers per strap on the same board?

Yes, it is possible to mount multiple Anti Twist Washer Hi-Fly on all the board's footstraps to achieve a homogeneous setup, especially on freeride, freerace, or slalom boards where strap stability is crucial.
