Collection: Kiteboard Harnesses

Waist or seat

Most riders are on a waist harness. A seat harness sits lower, cannot ride up, and is the right call for beginners, for anyone with a bad back, and for a lot of older riders — there is nothing uncool about being comfortable and still kiting in twenty years.

Fit

A harness should sit on your lower ribs and not move. If it rides up under load, it is either too big or too soft for the way you ride. Hard-shell harnesses hold their shape and spread the load; softer ones are more comfortable walking down the beach.

Sizes run differently between brands, so this is another one worth trying on at the shop.
