Shield Harness
Kite Waist High-end
The all-new premium Shield harness introduces our low profile carbon outer shield, which is made with the stiffest and lightest material, providing the most support without sacrificing weight, for maximum back support and performance, during long or powerful sessions. The lightweight carbon material doesn’t absorb water so it stays light. The naturally curved back and pre-shape give you superior back support without losing freedom of movement and performance on the water. The Unibelt bar stabilizer is an exclusive feature to the Shield harness. It simplifies the belt- and closure construction and locks the bar into place to eliminate ride-up of the hook. The Unibelt can easily be converted to a wave harness by installing the aftermarket Shield-specific Rope Bar conversion kit.
Features:
– Carbon outer support shield
– Pre-shaped inner and outer – Natural/Curved
– Unibelt bar stabilizer
– Push release spreaderbar
– Kite hook
– Safety Knife
– Key loop and pocket
– EVA Grip inside
– Tender Neoprene inside
– Handle pass leash connectors
– Lo-wear webbing straps
Shift Pro Harness
Kite Waist High-end
The Shift Pro is the most comfortable harness in the range, suitable for people with a natural to flat lower back shape. The thicker, larger and less curved inner plate spreads the load widely over your whole back. This combined with the tender neoprene and EVA grip inside results in maximum comfort for everyday and powerful riding. The new neoprene padded spreaderbar with stabilizer wings locks the bar in place and eliminates the hook riding up and protects your ribs.
Features:
– Moulded EVA & Neoprene outer
– Pre-shaped internal plate – Natural
– Spreaderbar stabilizer wings
– Push release spreaderbar

Thrive Harness
Kite Waist Curved Back
The Thrive harness has a more vertically curved shape. This makes it the choice for users with a more curved lower back or riders that prefer a more upright riding position, like free-riding and down the line wave riding. The new padded spreaderbar with stabilizer wings locks the bar in place and eliminates the hook riding up and protects your ribs.
Features:
– Moulded EVA outer
– Pre-shaped internal plate -Curved
– Spreaderbar stabilizer wings
– Push release spreaderbar

Stark Harness
Kite Waist Adaptive
The Stark is a more flexible harness. The softer, natural pre-shaped inner plate and neoprene inside make the harness adapt to your body. The freedom of movement, flex and softness it creates, is most appreciated in less powered, shorter or fun freeride sessions.
Features:
– Pre-shaped internal plate – Natural
– Spreaderbar stabilizer wings
– Push release spreaderbar
– Kite hook
– Velcro tension belt
– Key loop and pocket
– Tender Neoprene inside

Sense Harness
Kite Waist Harness Women’s
The Sense is our women’s kite harness. The ergonomically women specific pre-shaped, inner plate spreads the load widely over your whole back. The curved outline profile makes the harness edges flex for increased mobility. This combined with the tender neoprene and EVA grip inside results in maximum comfort for everyday and powerful riding.
Features:
– Moulded EVA outer
– Pre-shaped internal plate – Natural
– Spreaderbar stabilizer wings
– Push release spreaderbar
– Kite hook
– Velcro tension belt
– Safety Knife
– Key loop and pocket

– Compatible with: Rope Spreaderbar
Rope Spreaderbar
Our all-new Rope Spreaderbar will convert any harness in our collection besides the Shield, which requires a specific rope bar conversion kit, into a wave orientated harness.
The extremely durable Spectra rope bar with the sliding ring will replace your standard hook. This allows you a wider range of motion while wave riding, letting the chickenloop slide from side to side of the rope.
Toe-side or backside wave riding has never been this easy. The Rope Spreaderbar will also help you extend your turns without the kite limiting your body rotations.
Be ready for some next level wave-riding.
