ION Water

ION Waist Windsurf Rival

Description

ION Rival Windsurf Harness is a softshell harness that combines a slim, low-profile design with solid support, giving you full control on the water without unnecessary bulk. With the new Spectre Bar 2, you get optimal force distribution and flexibility, so you can move freely and stay stable on your board. The harness suits all levels, from beginners to advanced riders and professionals, and comes as a complete set with spreader bar and windsurf hook.

Spectre Bar 2 is ION's latest generation of spreader bars, built for incredible flexibility with a slim outline that distributes forces evenly while sailing. Removable Spectre flaps made from durable TPE plastic stabilize the bar and prevent the hook from tipping upward under load. The fully molded softshell shell does not absorb water, so the harness stays light throughout the session, while the internal Flex_Belt and HD_Foam padding provide a close, comfortable fit that follows your body.

  • Softshell construction: Fully molded shell that does not absorb water, keeping the harness light all day.
  • Spectre Bar 2: ION's latest innovation in spreader bar technology, with a windsurf hook, incredible flexibility, and a slim profile.
  • Internal Flex_Belt: Flexible closure system on the inside that adapts to your anatomy and keeps the harness precisely in place.
  • Internal EVA padding: Prevents the harness from riding up or rotating on your body while sailing.
  • HD_Foam: Elastic foam that does not absorb water, providing a comfortable fit and low weight.
  • PVC buckles: Durable buckles that make adjustments quick and easy, even with wet fingers.
  • Low weight: Lightweight yet durable construction in a smart mix of materials, built for many hours on the water.

  • Care & Maintenance

    Care for your ION windsurf harness

    • After use: Rinse the harness, spreader bar, hook and buckles with clean fresh water to remove salt, sand and sweat.
    • Washing: Hand wash if necessary in lukewarm water with mild soap. Never use a washing machine or harsh cleaning products, as they damage neoprene, foam and webbing.
    • Drying: Air-dry the harness in the shade with buckles and closures open. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators and tumble dryers, as heat and UV rays degrade the materials.
    • Storage: Store the harness completely dry and clean in a cool place, preferably laid flat or hanging. Avoid leaving it wet and folded in your bag for extended periods.
    • Check: Regularly inspect the webbing, stitching, buckles and spreader bar for wear, and replace worn parts before your next session.
  • FAQ

    What sizes does the ION Rival harness come in?

    The harness is available in sizes 46/XS, 48/S, 50/M, 52/L and 54/XL. Choose based on your waist measurement, ranging from approx. 66-76 cm in 46/XS to approx. 98-108 cm in 54/XL, and feel free to use ION's size guide.

    Is the ION Rival suitable for beginners?

    Yes. ION itself recommends the Rival for beginners, intermediate riders and professionals because its very soft shell offers plenty of freedom of movement while still providing solid support.

    What does Flex Index 4 mean?

    ION rates flex index on a scale from 1 to 20, and with a value of 4, the Rival is one of the softest shells in the range. This makes for a light, flexible harness that follows your body's movements.

    Are the spreader bar and hook included?

    Yes, the Rival comes as a complete set with a Spectre Bar 2 spreader bar fitted with a windsurf hook.

    What is the harness made of?

    The softshell shell is made from 25% neoprene, 5% EVA, 10% polyester, 40% polyamide and 20% PVC foam. The HD_Foam padding doesn't absorb water, so the harness stays light on the water.

    How do I ensure the best fit?

    Adjust the internal Flex_Belt carefully so it fits snugly around your body and adapts to your anatomy. The EVA padding on the inside also prevents the harness from riding up or rotating while sailing.

    How do I maintain the harness?

    Rinse it in clean fresh water after every session and let it dry in the shade. Store it dry and cool, and avoid the washing machine, tumble drying and direct sunlight.

    Can I use the ION Rival for kitesurfing?

    The Rival is specifically designed for windsurfing and comes with a windsurf hook. For kitesurfing, we instead recommend one of ION's dedicated kite harnesses.
