So after 3 years riding my Ion Vertex harness it is time to buy a new one. The problem is Ion has released a new range that I know nothing about and discontinued the Vertex name/line it seems.

I kite only waves and do not want to go to a rope harness instead of a hook, I can see two in the Ion range that seem to suit, the Riot 6 and the Riot curve 9... I'd like to buy from the new range but was hoping someone had some in the water experience with both and could let me know a bit about them, including:

- does the riot curve 9 twist around the waist allowing toe side like the vertex used to.

- does the Riot 6 still give some level of support (or is it similar to the Old Ion Madtrixx)

Thanks in advance if anyone has the knowledge.
