- Rider type : Windsurfers who use large sails and high speeds, and prefer the control of a low-pull seat.
- Level : From ambitious intermediates to expert riders looking for maximum efficiency and stability.
Benefits in water
- Maximum leverage on the sail : the low hook helps to manage the power of large sails and race setups more easily.

Size Guide – NeilPryde Race Seat (Men)
Measurements refer to waist circumference ; measure over the wetsuit where you wear your harness. If you're between sizes, choose the snugger fit for a more race-ready, responsive ride, or the looser fit for recreational use and thicker wetsuits.
| Cut | Waist (inches) | Waist (cm) | Spreader bar Std | EZ Spreader Bar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 28–30" | 71–76 cm | 25 cm | 25 cm |
| S | 30–32" | 76–81 cm | 25 cm | 25 cm |
| M | 32–34" | 81–86 cm | 25 cm | 25 cm |
| THE | 34–36" | 86–91 cm | 30 cm | 25 cm |
| XL | 36–38" | 91–97 cm | 30 cm | 30 cm |
Size tip: For racing and aggressive foiling, many riders prefer a more supportive fit; for relaxed freeriding, comfort is a priority, especially if you use thick wetsuits in winter.
Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Who is the RACE SEAT designed for?
The RACE SEAT is designed for those who practice slalom, race and foil with medium-large sized sails, and want maximum efficiency and stability at speed.
How is it different from a freeride seat harness like the Gravity Seat?
Compared to a more freeride-oriented seat, the RACE SEAT has a lighter, more compact construction and a more “race” setting, optimized for low hook and control of large sails at high speed.
Are the leg straps comfortable when tacking and jibing?
Yes, the thigh straps with a “click-in” system and dedicated angle are designed to follow the movement of the legs and allow smooth changes of direction without uncomfortable pressure points.
Is it also suitable for those with back problems?
The low traction point and adjustable back support can help reduce the load on the lumbar region, which is useful for those who suffer from the high trapezius position, but a medical opinion is always advisable in case of specific pain.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your waist circumference over your wetsuit and compare it to the chart; if you're between sizes and primarily race/foil, a tighter fit offers more harness control and less movement.
