Re: Waist Harness Bruising Ribs ?

Lots of good feedback here and appreciated. For windsurfing I've always used a seat harness and had originally thought this would be the way to go when I started kiting, but got talked into the waist harness.

This is an interesting topic. I'm in somewhat of a similar situation. I've got extensive windsurfing, sailing and wakeboarding experience.
