ENSIS Accessories Guide

Whether you are looking for gift ideas or simply exploring the ENSIS range, accessories often make the biggest difference on and off the water. They add comfort, safety, and can improve your water time. In this post, we take a closer look at a few essentials from the ENSIS line and share why they matter for anyone who spends time foiling.

Footstraps

Footstraps are one of the simplest ways to improve control and confidence on your board. The ENSIS straps follow a classic, proven shape and are designed to feel comfortable from the first ride. They feature a memory foam that settles into shape over time, plus an intuitive screw system for quick installation or adjustment. Durable, adjustable, and comfortable, they are a small upgrade that makes a noticeable difference.

Helmets

A helmet is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment in foiling. It should feel secure, stay in place, and disappear in your mind once you are on the water. Every ENSIS helmet uses a 360 micrometric adjustment system so you can fine tune the fit with precision. Too loose or too tight becomes a non issue, and once settled, the goal is to forget you are even wearing it.

Finding the right size is simple. Measure around your head just above the eyebrows and ears, check the ENSIS size chart, and if you are between sizes, try both. Riders who wear a beanie or cap underneath should account for that extra layer.

The ENSIS Helmet Line Up

BALZ PRO
Built for riders who spend a lot of time learning, progressing, or pushing their limits. It is multi impact rated and comes with fixed ear pads for protection from wind and water impact. A small visor helps reduce glare, and every helmet includes a sticker pack for personalising the look. The BALZ JUNIOR offers the same features in smaller sizing for younger riders.

RIDER
A colourful, playful design with reliable multi impact protection. Detachable ear pads make it easy to choose the amount of coverage you want. It is a comfortable all round option suitable for any session.

DOUBLE SHELL
The lightest helmet in the ENSIS range. It combines a featherweight feel with a high level of protection and features removable ear pads and a magnetic buckle for easy fastening. Available in red or black, it suits riders who enjoy long days on the water and value comfort.

Harnesses

Many riders look for ways to reduce arm fatigue. A harness can make a big difference. The ENSIS BIRDIE stands out for being featherlight and ergonomic. At only 390 grams, it does not absorb water and remains light throughout your session.

Generous padding offers back support while staying flexible, so movements stay natural. The side folding hook helps protect your equipment when carrying your wing, and the magnetic clip makes fastening simple even with cold fingers. It is a practical solution for anyone who wants to enjoy longer, less demanding sessions.

Leashes

A good leash should be comfortable, reliable, and stay out of the way. ENSIS offers a small selection to suit different preferences and riding styles.

Adjustable swivel hand wrist leash
Features a stainless steel swivel to help prevent tangles, along with a secure padded loop and leash lock. It has an adjustable extension (60 cm plus 30 cm) and reaches 180 cm at full length. With a dyneema bungee cord, it is durable and comfortable.

Coil hip leash
A padded, comfortable waist fit with two buckles (waist 70 to 110 cm) and heavy duty swivels. At full extension, it measures 240 cm. The coil stays out of the way and tangle free and can be used as either a board leash or wing leash.

Coil knee leash
A compact board leash option with a padded loop and heavy duty swivel. It reaches 140 cm at full length. The coiled design keeps the leash clear of the water while you foil, reducing drag and staying out of the way.

HIPHOP Pumpfoil Backpack

A reliable backpack makes it easier to transport foiling equipment safely and comfortably. The ENSIS HIPHOP Pumpfoil Backpack is designed with this in mind. It features well organised compartments that keep your board, foil, and accessories protected, along with durable materials suited for regular use. Whether you are walking to the dock, travelling by bike, or driving to your spot, the backpack keeps everything secure and easy to carry. It is a simple, functional piece of gear for anyone who spends time pumpfoiling or moving equipment from session to session.

See you on the water!

From small upgrades like footstraps to essentials such as helmets, leashes, and harnesses, the right accessories shape how smooth and enjoyable every session feels. They offer comfort, protection, and simple solutions that make time on the water easier. Even off the water, thoughtful gear like the HIPHOP Pumpfoil Backpack keeps equipment organised and protected on the way to your spot.
