Replaceable TPU Tendon – Easy Inspection and Maintenance
Unifiber Tendon Joint Elite (U-Pin) is the upper section of the Elite windsurfing baseplate, connecting the mast extension to the lower baseplate mounted on the board. At its centre is a flexible, high-quality TPU tendon that allows the rig to move freely relative to the board.
The design prioritises straightforward maintenance. The tendon can be removed and replaced by hand, without additional tools. This makes regular inspections easier and allows worn components to be replaced whenever cracks, abrasion or other signs of deterioration appear.
POK Locking Caps and Stainless Steel Components
The tendon connecting pins are secured by snap-fit caps made from durable POK plastic. The caps are easy to install, but once the baseplate is connected to the board and mast extension, they cannot move out of position. This helps prevent accidental disconnection during sailing.
All metal components are made from stainless steel, providing strength and corrosion resistance in marine environments. The fully integrated U-Pin creates a solid connection with a compatible mast extension, while the stainless steel fittings maintain structural integrity.

Spectra Safety Rope – Additional Rig Security
The joint components are additionally connected by a Spectra safety rope with a stated breaking load of up to 650 kg. This serves as a backup connection in case the tendon fails, helping keep the rig and board connected.
The safety rope does not replace regular tendon inspections, but provides an additional level of security, particularly during intensive sessions and sailing in demanding conditions.
Compatibility with the Unifiber Elite Baseplate
Tendon Joint Elite (U-Pin) is designed as the upper replacement section for the Unifiber Baseplate Tendon Joint Elite (U-Pin). It allows the complete upper joint assembly to be replaced without purchasing an entirely new baseplate.
Important: This product includes the upper joint assembly with the tendon and U-Pin connection. The lower baseplate section that attaches to the board's mast track is not included.
