Kiteboarding harnesses are a critical link between you and the kite, transferring power from the bar to your body. There are two main styles—waist harnesses, which offer freedom of movement and are popular for freestyle and wave riding, and seat harnesses, which sit lower on the hips and provide extra support, making them ideal for beginners or riders needing lower back relief. Choosing the right harness helps you ride longer, with less fatigue and more confidence on the water. Most of the harnesses that we offer do not include the spreader bar.
