Watersports gear – 7 ways to use Exit’s awesome products to get out and live.

Watersports gear comes in all shapes and sizes. Yet there’s none more uniquely designed, performance orientated and original than Exit watersports products. The renowned and innovative XRail wetsuit hanger, versatile BUX wetsuit change bucket and newly launched XTend windchill blocking hood and top are prime examples. Here are 7 different watersports scenarios where Exit gear will help you get out and live.

Kitesurfing and windsurfing.

Kitesurfing is in our veins at Exit. It’s the background we come from and the original watersports discipline that started it all. Based just outside Dublin city centre our local patch – Dollymount – is a great location for kitesurfing and we ride there regularly.

Windsurfing is another watersport that we ‘get’. And with both disciplines the adrenaline factor’s always high. Especially the windier it gets. Exit watersports gear fits both sports perfectly. The XTend windchill blocking top and hood to keep you warm, the BUX to help get your wet gear home without soaking everything else and the XRail wetsuit hanger to dry your wetsuit in prompt fashion, ready for that next session.

Stand up paddle boarding wins with Exit’s watersports gear.

Stand up paddle boarding has many different guises. It can be a serene flat water affair, with a mellow approach. Or for some riders, it can be about chasing waves and surfing swells. Then there are riders who love adventure and multi-day sojourns off the beaten track.

New school stand up paddlers may gravitate towards hydrofoils. Downwind foiling and SUP foiling in waves have become things in the last few years. And it’s not hard to see why. For paddlers wanting additional protection, the XTend top and hood can be worn in tandem with your normal wetsuit. Adding a layer of windchill-blocking material that’ll also help a little when impacting the water after wiping out.

Kayaking fun and frolics.

As with all watersports, there are different ways to approach these disciplines. Some may enjoy the buzz of hucking big drops and chasing large-volume white water. Meanwhile, there are paddlers who prefer the less hectic type of sit-on-top paddling. Both are fun and fulfilling in different ways.

Lugging all that kayaking gear to the beach, river or lake can be made all the more efficient with the Exit BUX wetsuit change bucket. More than just a wetsuit change bucket it can double as a carry-all for your kayaking watersports gear. Its big volume capacity means loads of equipment can be lugged about. And, of course, post-session your wet kit can be transported separately to dry.

Exit watersports gear for wing foiling.

We’ve already touched on foiling in the SUP section above. But it’s wing foiling that has us super hyped at Exit. Being able to get out in marginal conditions than we’d choose for kitesurf winging has revolutionised wind sports for us and many others. 

Wing foiling - 7 reasons it’s absolutely awesome fun.
Winger need all the protection they can – especially during the learning phase.

There’s no question though that wing foiling takes a little time to master. And during the learning phase, riders tend to fall often. Products like the Exit Xtend windchill blocking top and hood can therefore be essential. Keeping riders extra toasty it’ll make the learning process all the more bearable. Advanced riders will also find benefits of staying warmer whilst winging with the Xtend hood and top. Especially in winter.

Dinghy sailing fun.

Yet another scenario the Exit BUX works tremendously for is dinghy sailing. Sailing requires a lot of gear to get on the water. And the BUX can carry the lot! We’ve experienced this firsthand ourselves during a number of dinghy sailing sessions.

And of course, if you need any extra capacity then a second BUX is a worthwhile investment. This means even more kit can be transported. Both wet and dry.

Surfing session stoke.

Surfing – the classic watersport – is another favourite activity of ours here at Exit. There’s nothing quite like sliding along liquid walls of water. So much so that when the surf’s good it’s not uncommon to be frothing for double and even triple dips.

But you’ll need your wetsuit dry first. Let’s be honest: clambering into a damp rubber suit isn’t pleasant. And during colder months it can mean you start your surf already cold. Which could lead to things going awry. The Exit XRail is the most efficient wetsuit drying hanger on the market. Pair it with the SUX suction-up rail of HUX and you literally have tons of options of where to hang your wetsuit so it’s ready for that next wave mission. Plus, it stops your wetsuit from becoming creased and therefore prolongs its life, keeping petrochemical neoprene out of landfills. Which is much better for the environment.
