ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed to assist a wearer in firmly gripping the handle(s) of water sports equipment for long periods of time with minimal hand and arm fatigue. The device comprises a grip strap of webbing material, a protuberant rib which extends transversely of the strap, at least one finger-attaching member near the rib at one end of the grip strap, and a wrist strap and fastening means attached to the other end and on the reverse side of the grip strap. The grip is constructed such that when, in use, a wearer's fingers are extended, the palm strap becomes taut between the finger attachment member and the wrist strap such that the wearer's retained fingers are supported in a hooked position. And, when the wearer's hand is curled around a handle, the rib can extend beyond the wearer's fingertips.
