Abstract
A wingsurfing wing, a handle thereof and a method of retaining the handle. The handle includes a member that is elongated in an elongation direction to be suitable for grasping. First and second attachment portions suitable for attaching the member to a strut of the wing extend from the member and are spaced apart from each other in the elongation direction. A fitting defines the second attachment portion and is adjustable between first and second configurations. In the first configuration, the fitting is movably engaged with the member to reposition the second attachment portion in the elongation direction. In the second configuration, the fitting is fixedly engaged with the member. The method includes causing frictional engagement between the strut and the fitting via an interference fit between a fastening portion and the strut, and causing frictional engagement between the fitting and the member to prevent movement of the fitting.
