2023 Ride Engine ELITE CARBON V8 Waist Harness

The unrivaled benchmark in carbon-fiber hard-shell harnesses, the Elite Carbon V8 continues to lead the way thanks to its data-based design and ergonomic shape for superior support and comfort. Built with the latest in material technology, including 12K molded carbon fiber, limestone-based neoprene, and Fusion closed-cell memory foam for maximum durability and performance.

Equipped with Unity Ladder-Lock Straps so it's ready to integrate with our Unity Spreader Bar (goodbye sloppy webbing!), the Elite Carbon is constructed using top-shelf 12K carbon fiber, which ensures a durable, strong Armor Shell frame in a lightweight, high-performance package. When combined with our Fusion Memory Foam and proprietary Shell Skin technology with Lumbar Lock shaping, the Elite Carbon provides the ultimate in connection, feel and support.

12K CARBON ARMOR SHELL

Built with 12K carbon fiber, the Armor Shell of our Elite Carbon is light, strong, and ergonomically contoured—as well as our stiffest. The Armor Shell also allows the load to be distributed seamlessly from the spreader bar to the shell, preventing the harness from buckling or pinching.

UNITY SPREADER BAR COMPATIBLE

Our "set it and forget it" spreader bar system creates a solid, stable connection, the Unity Spreader Bar has an ingenious design utilizing custom-molded ladder-lock straps, thereby eliminating the use of traditional webbing and providing an unrivaled locked-in fit.

LUMBAR LOCK DATA-DERIVED TECHNOLOGY

WA scientifically supported data shape from more than 1000 custom molds, the Lumbar Lock conforms and cradles your lumbar, back and sides to lock the harness securely in place. This enhanced ergonomics ensure that you get the maximum support out of your harness—no more harness sliding side-to-side or riding up.

LOW-PROFILE OUTLINE SHAPING

Low-profile framework contributes to a perfect fit and maximum mobility while keeping the harness locked in place and eliminating pressure points.

HANDLE-PASS, FRONT-ATTACHMENTS

For freestyle riders, the Elite Carbon comes with a handle-pass-leash mount around the back (which is easy to remove for windsurfing). It also has two attachment points in the front for use when a short leash is utilized.

FUSION MEMORY FOAM

Super soft, ergonomic foam conforms to the shape of your torso for ultimate comfort and hold.

FULL NEOPRENE COMFORT WRAP

Minimal-seam construction of a full-neoprene wrap conforms to the body, creating a rash-free interface.

INTERNAL WAIST-BELT STRAP

An internal, single-closure waist-belt strap provides a secure fit and easy entry and adjustment. Includes easy access hook-knife pocket.
