Ion Spectre Kiteboard Waist Harness 2026
$699.99
SPECTRE KITEBOARD HARNESS
Carbon Hard Shell
ION takes harness innovation to the next level with the all-new Spectre — a next-generation design built to push boundaries and dominate sessions. At its core: ION’s first-ever fully carbon shell, delivering unmatched back support and lightning-fast response. The Carbon Fusion Plate provides maximum stiffness with minimal weight, achieving a best-in-class stiffness-to-weight ratio. Weighing in at just 1050g, the Spectre is 14% lighter than the Riot Curv (size M), making it one of the lightest and most responsive harnesses in ION’s lineup. Inside, the Hydro_Cush liner — a non-water-absorbent EVA foam — keeps you dry and comfortable session after session. The integrated Ergo_Pad ensures an ergonomic fit that adapts to your body for all-day support. Contest-tested and rider-approved by Andrea Principi and Edgar Ulrich, the Spectre isn’t just a harness — it’s your competitive edge. Comes equipped with ION’s Spectre Bar 2.0 & aluminum hook.
PERFORMANCE
The Spectre combines a fully carbon hard shell with the new Spectre Bar 2.0 spreader bar for unmatched control. The carbon shell eliminates flex, while the ultra-light, ultra-stiff spreader bar distributes forces symmetrically across your core. Inside, non-slip EVA padding keeps the harness locked in place — ensuring stability and feedback, even during rotations in the air.
ERGONOMIC
The Ergo_Pad is the centerpiece of the Spectre’s ergonomic design — developed in collaboration with medical experts to protect the most sensitive part of your body: the lower spine. Pressure from the kite is guided through an integrated channel that shields your vertebrae, while raised trigger points on each side redirect forces onto the surrounding muscles. This intelligent pressure distribution prevents overload, reduces the risk of injury, and supports longer, safer sessions. Combined with the ultra-stiff carbon shell, which resists deformation even under extreme force, the Spectre provides a fit that remains perfectly stable and supportive at all times.
LIGHTWEIGHT
At just 1050 g, the Spectre is 14% lighter than the Riot Curv (size M), making it one of the lightest harnesses in ION’s range. Thanks to its carbon construction and non-water-absorbent EVA liner, it stays light even after long sessions — ideal for travel, as it won’t add extra weight to your luggage, even right before a flight.

All harnesses are delivered as a complete set. Included in the package: Spreader bar (incl. hook) Kite knife Safety leash handle

My board made it ...
But no foot straps, fins, or vent plug?
Look closely through the packaging. Fins, foot straps and vent plugs are often concealed in a sheath of cardboard that's easy to discard. Also, check inside the board box, and shake the box to be sure. You'll likely dislodge a small box containing the missing items.
