Baseplate Tendon Joint Cardan HD (U-Pin) V2
Built for windsurfers who like putting their gear to the test, the HD Baseplate is built to handle the harshest conditions.
Suitable for all windsurfing disciplines, wind foilers can particularly appreciate this baseplate. Its cardan hinge makes sail attachment effortless, whether you’re on the beach or in the water, without the hassle of flipping the board or bending the tendon manually.
Stainless steel components provide a direct, unbroken connection from the T-nut to the extension, ensuring rock-solid stability. At their core, a durable TPU tendon is held by large, custom bolts, making tendon swaps simple and avoiding overtightening.
The U-Pin section on top is a single solid stainless-steel piece, ensuring lasting durability.
Molded from tough POK engineering plastic, the baseplate is ergonomic and easy to unscrew, even after intense sessions. A push-button system secures two sliding pins, so you can easily detach the base for hassle-free transport and storage.
The baseplate rests on the POK disk, fitted with an EVA layer and guiding knob, delivering excellent grip on your board.
For added safety, the baseplate's top and bottom parts are connected with a Spectra safety rope, capable of withstanding up to 650 kg of a break load.
