ION Rave Wing Waist Harness - 2025

The ION Rave Wing Waist Harness 2025 is a lightweight, flexible harness for wing foilers who want to ease the load on their arms during longer reaches. Its soft-shell construction and moulded EVA padding offer a comfortable alternative to a rigid hard-shell design, while the movable hook helps keep it out of the way when paddling or changing stance.

Why choose the ION Rave?

• Flexible soft shell: moves naturally with your body when pumping, carving and riding waves.
• Less arm fatigue: hooking into compatible wing harness lines transfers some pulling load from your arms to your waist.
• Movable hook: slides aside when lying on the board or changing stance.
• Non-water-absorbing EVA padding: provides a comfortable fit without taking on water.
• Integrated spreader bar and leash D-ring: purpose-built harness hardware for wing foiling.

Who is it for?

The Rave suits wing foilers who spend time cruising, freeriding or wave riding and want the option to hook in on longer runs. Its softer construction prioritises freedom of movement and comfort over the stronger back support of a more rigid harness. You will need suitable harness lines on your wing to use the hook.

Features that matter

Soft-shell fit with moulded EVA

ION uses a flexible, three-dimensionally moulded shell with EVA padding on the inside. Its non-water-absorbing construction helps avoid the heavy, waterlogged feel of conventional padding. ION quotes an approximate harness weight of 700 g.

Hook that moves with your session

The sliding hook can be shifted to the side for paddling or lying on your board. This helps reduce interference with the deck and makes switch-stance riding more practical. Check its position before hooking back into the wing.

Easy access and leash attachment

The quick-release buckle simplifies getting into and out of the harness once the straps are adjusted. A dedicated D-ring next to the spreader bar provides a leash attachment point; always follow the leash manufacturer's guidance for your particular setup.

Choosing your size
