The Technology
Our patented Inflation Deployment System™. Four steps to anchoring freedom.
Inflate
Using our patented EZ-Inflate™ hand pump (sold separately), bring your anchor to full operational pressure in just 47 easy pumps. Each pump brings you closer to anchoring readiness. Pro tip: count out loud for maximum confidence. Your fellow boaters will appreciate the countdown.
Deploy
Lower your fully inflated anchor into the water using the included 50ft of marine-grade rope. Feel the satisfying weightlessness as it enters the water. Traditional anchors fight gravity on the way down. Ours doesn't fight anything. It's the path of least resistance, and we think that's beautiful.
Observe
Watch as your anchor establishes its position on the water's surface. Note: surface positioning is a feature, not a bug. Traditional anchors disappear beneath the waves, leaving you wondering if they're working. With ours, you can see it the whole time. Full transparency. Full buoyancy.
Retrieve
Simply pull the rope. That's it. One hand. No winch. No straining. No herniated discs. No calling your buddy to help. No throwing out your back and lying on the dock questioning your life choices. This is the moment that makes it all worth it. This is why we're here.
