testimonial

Un matériel qui m’accompagne depuis toutes ces années

Je suis particulièrement fier d’avoir contribué, aux côtés de Tessier, au développement de ce châssis, aujourd’hui utilisé par les meilleurs athlètes de la discipline.

Un grand merci à la société Tessier, qui permet aux personnes en situation de handicap de découvrir ou de retrouver le plaisir de la glisse, tout en favorisant un maximum d’autonomie et de liberté.

C’est un véritable plaisir de pouvoir compter sur un matériel aussi performant, fiable et résistant, qui m’accompagne depuis toutes ces années.

Des tricks et des modules que personne n’avait jamais faits

Le Swaik démontre jusqu’où il est possible d’aller quand on est un rider «assis». Il a ouvert les portes d’un nouveau style de ride, probablement infaisable avec les vieux châssis qu’on utilisait !

J’ai poussé mon Swaik et moi-même dans des tricks et des modules inconnus, des trucs que personne n’avait jamais fait. Jusqu’à un gros crash la semaine dernière ! Heureusement je vais bien, et mon Swaik aussi ! Seule ma board est détruite.

Je ne vois rien à améliorer au Swaik, il fonctionne si bien, c’est hallucinant!

Donc félicitations Monsieur, tu as fait un beau travail

Technical specifications

Flex

The Full-Flex allows the frame to slide lengthwise on the board in order to preserve its flex. The board can thus work during the ride and on landings. This system contributes to the dynamism and comfort of the Swaik while keeping a direct connection with the board's reactions.

Lightweight

The anodized 7075 aluminum frame combines strength, lightness and a compact size. At 3.3 kg for the frame alone, it is a lightweight base on which to build your sitwake setup. The choice of seat and board then completes the configuration.

Position

The front of the seat can be adjusted over a 10 cm range to match its height to leg length. At the rear, an 8 cm range lets you change the seat angle. The center of gravity can be adjusted on the board to fine-tune your balance.

Seat

The wakeboard seats by TESSIER feature a shape suited to the sport and water drainage. Seven sizes are available, with or without a backrest. Depending on your needs, the backrest can be a rigid composite one or a flexible harness-type one, to adapt support and freedom of movement.

Compatibility

The front and rear plates adjust to different insert spacings so the Swaik can be mounted on most boards on the market. The choice of board then lets you define the behavior you want: discovery, versatile riding or use of features on a cable park.

FAQ

Is the Swaik only for experienced riders?

No. It is suitable for beginners as well as experienced riders and competitors. The choice of position, seat and board allows the equipment to be adapted. To get started, get in touch with an organization that offers sit-down wakeboarding instruction.

What is the difference between the Swaik and the Swaik Air?

The Swaik favors a direct connection with the board and uses Full-Flex to preserve its dynamism and provide comfort. The Swaik Air adds a full Active Stability suspension for more damping and stability. Both models remain adjustable and suit several skill levels.

Does the Swaik have a shock absorber?

The Swaik presented here does not have the full suspension of the Swaik Air. Its Full-Flex system allows the board to flex beneath the frame: it contributes to comfort and dynamism, without working as a full suspension between the seat and the board.

What adjustments are possible?

You can adjust the height, seat angle and center of gravity. The front of the seat has an adjustment range of 10 cm (about 4 in) and the rear has a range of 8 cm (about 3 in). Since 2024, a single frame model replaces the two previous versions to simplify the choice and the adjustments.

How do I choose the seat and the foot support?

Seven seat sizes are available, including a child size, in gelcoat or, on request, carbon. The backrest can be adapted to your mobility. The TESSIER boot offers two ways of securing the feet; the choice of support must be consistent with the seat and the level of supervision of the activity. Our team will help you with this configuration.

Which boards is it compatible with?

The Swaik mounts on most boards thanks to its adjustable plates. A length between 140 and 160 cm (55 to 63 in) is a good starting point, to be fine-tuned according to the rider and the type of riding. Fins can help beginners; using the modules requires a suitable board without fins. We notably offer a Goodboards board designed for sitwake.

Here is our compatibility sheet for boards.

How much does it weigh and where can I try it?

The frame alone weighs 3.3 kg (7.3 lb), without the seat and board. Equipped facilities let you discover seated wakeboarding or try out the equipment. Check our trial map, then contact the facility directly to confirm that a Swaik is available and the conditions for visiting.
