Why You Need It

The Elite Carbon is exactly that: a harness for riders demanding elite performance in order to be fully and reliably supported in their pursuit of personal limits in airs, waves, and tricks.

Technology That You Get

Packed with exotic materials and science- and data-backed design, the Elite Carbon has our latest in technology and innovation to inspire confidence in any condition.

Final Word

If you want to set your personal bests, then you need the best—the Elite Carbon will deliver all you are asking for... and more.

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

A 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-MOUNTED LEASH 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.
