In addition to the wingfoil harnesses (HERE there's a test of the Rogue model) developed the Rush Vest. This takes into account the fact that harnesses are also increasingly being used in wingsurfing. The waistcoat is made of lightweight neoprene and has integrated foam padding in the chest and back area, which is designed to soften hard impacts on the water or on the equipment. If you prefer, you can also remove the padding individually. Another pad has been integrated in the shoulder area so that you can carry your foil board without pressure points on your shoulder.
The ION Rush Vest can also be used as a harness, and the lightweight plastic hook can also be attached or removed as required. However, the hook is probably primarily designed for wingfoil use; the system does not appear to be designed for the higher tensile forces of windsurf foiling. The Rush Vest is available in sizes 48/S; 50/M; 52/L; 54/XL and 56/XXL for 339.99 euros. We will soon be presenting the waistcoat in more detail here on the website - a test sample has already been ordered.
