The Forward WIP Kneewip is built for riders who regularly find themselves kneeling, scrambling or taking knocks through the knees and shins. For winging, sailing and board handling on hard decks, that extra protection can make a bigger difference to comfort and confidence than people expect. What makes this useful is that it is not just a basic knee pad. The design aims to protect both knees and shins while still feeling wearable enough for active sessions, which is exactly what watersports protection needs to do.Where It Sits in the Forward WIP RangeThis sits as a specialist protection piece within the Forward WIP range rather than a general apparel item. It is the product to look at if you know your knees and shins take a beating from starts, kneeling or board contact. Pair it with a vest such as the Forward WIP Flow Neo Vest or Forward WIP Wing Impact Evo Vest if you want a more complete protection setup.Why Choose the Forward WIP Kneewip? Protects both knees and shins rather than focusing on one area only. Useful for riders who kneel on deck pads or get repeated knocks while progressing. Velcro strap and grip layer help keep the protection in place. Breathable fabric improves wearability in warmer sessions. A practical comfort-and-confidence upgrade for committed riders.
