Jez's
Knob is a light, high quality polyurathane device,
designed to help protect the nose of a board
from damage due to catapults or other losses
of control out on the water. It sits tucked close
to the mast-foot, working in various ways to
help prevent contact between the nose & the
rig.
The unique shape of Jez's Knob, the material
from which it's constructed, allow it to absorb,
cushion and deform in order to dissipate the
energy that may otherwise demolish the nose of
your pride and joy.
It forces the rig and nose away from one another,
and, in the event of a nuking straight down catapult,
it can lose energy by forcing the nose in the
water.
As soon as we produced Jez's Knob the trend
in board noses went wider, so we had to go back & re-model
it in order to give a wider angle of coverage.
We also have a yellow "heavy duty" model
made especially for the school boards like the
fabulous Starboard STARTS.
If you cannot find Jez's Knob at your local
windsurfing shop, then you can order from 2nd
Wind Sailboards. |
