ION Water

ION Waist Kite Apex

Description

ION Apex is a waist harness for kitesurfers who demand top support and control in all conditions. The harness is known for its outstanding lumbar support and ergonomic fit, combining a stable structure with freedom of movement, and is designed for high-performance riding and long sessions on the water. The latest version is equipped with Spectre Bar 2, and there's a good reason Apex is a trusted model among Reno Romeu and many other athletes.

At the heart of the harness is its hybrid shell construction with partially molded Curv composite material, which provides a supportive core and flexible sides. Combined with the medium-stiff flex (flex index 8) and high outline, it gives you the right balance of back support and freedom of movement as you carve, jump, and land. The integrated Ergo Pad directs pressure away from sensitive areas, while the ergonomic 3D Plus Spine supports your back so you can push your limits without discomfort.

  • Spectre Bar 2: Ultra-strong, lightweight spreader bar that optimally distributes the load and provides a precise, direct connection to the kite.
  • Hybrid shell with Curv composite: Partially molded shell material that provides solid support in the center and flexible sides for freedom of movement.
  • 3D Plus Spine: Ergonomically shaped back support that follows the body's natural contours.
  • Ergo Pad: Polished stitching that directs pressure away from sensitive areas, and can be replaced in two thicknesses: medium and high lumbar support.
  • Internal Flex Belt: Internal belt and flexible side panels that keep the harness in place without restricting your movement.
  • HD Foam: Elastic padding that does not absorb water, so the harness feels light and dries quickly.
  • Spectre flaps and leash D-ring: TPE flaps keep the spreader bar locked under load, and the D-ring provides a secure attachment point for your leash.

  • Care & Maintenance

    How to keep your kite harness in top shape: A harness like the ION Apex is exposed to salt water, sand, and UV rays. A few simple routines after each session can significantly extend the life of the padding, shell material, straps, and buckles.

    • Washing: Rinse your harness with cold fresh water after each use, especially after exposure to salt water, as salt residue gradually wears down both the material and metal parts. If there’s visible dirt, clean it with mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft cloth. Avoid washing machines, tumble dryers, harsh chemicals, and bleach.
    • Drying: Air-dry your harness in the shade until both the outer material and padding are completely dry. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators and hair dryers, as heat and UV rays can make the material brittle and fade the colors.
    • Storage: Store your completely dry harness flat or hanging in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place—never folded or damp in a bag. Shake and brush sand off the spreader bar and buckles, regularly check the straps, buckles, and back plate for wear, and always inspect your gear before heading out on the water again.
