Best phone harness for foil boarding Keep your phone where you need it on the water.
Your phone is your camera, your session tracker, and your connection to the crew. Keep it on your body between runs — not sitting in a bag while you're flying above the water.

The Honest Comparison
KOALA 2.0 vs. every other option foil boarders use
| Option | Security | Accessibility | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOALA 2.0 Harness | Bungee tether keeps phone locked to your chest — secure on the water and accessible between sessions | Chest-mounted, one-handed access without digging through a bag or boat compartment | Best overall for foil boarding |
| Board shorts pocket | Phone falls out on a wipeout — guaranteed at foiling speeds | Accessible on land, completely inaccessible on the water | High loss risk at speed |
| Boat or SUP storage | Phone stays dry but completely inaccessible while foiling | Requires stopping and returning to the board or boat | Safe storage, zero usability on the water |
| Waterproof arm band | Stays attached but bounces around and can interfere with balance | Hard to operate one-handed while managing the foil | Distracting at speed |
| Leave it on the beach | Safe from water, useless on the water | No photos, no video, no sharing the session | Miss the whole experience |
How It Works
Built for the water. Not the beach bag.
The KOALA 2.0 uses a Super-Grip silicone pad and bungee tether system to keep your phone locked against your chest. It works with virtually any smartphone — no case required — and fits over a rash guard, a wetsuit, or a board shirt.
One-handed access means you can snap a photo, check your session data, or share a clip between runs without digging through a bag. The bungee tether keeps your phone tethered to your body — because losing your phone at foiling speeds isn't a recoverable situation.
Where It Works
Wing foiling. Kite foiling. Wake foiling. All of it.
Foil boarders use it to document sessions, track progress, and stay connected between runs. When you're on the water and your phone is in a bag on the beach, you miss the shot. The KOALA keeps your phone on your body — accessible the moment you need it.
It's also the go-to for wing foilers, kite foilers, and anyone who wants their phone accessible on the water without the loss risk. 2,040+ reviews from paddlers, surfers, and adventurers who've put it through real conditions.
