Harness preference for hydrofoiling:

[rnelias]

Usually seat/rope slider harnesses are suggested as the "go to" option for hydrofoiling, however, if you take a look in some videos on youtube, including those published by brands, team riders are usually on standard waist/hook harnesses. Thus, I thought it would be interesting to check what people is actually using.


Note: it's not you think is the best option but what you ACTUALLY use.

to start my own pool, I've been using Daking boardshort harness with Mystic Stealth rope/slider spreader bar. Just replaced the metal ring with a nylon friction ring (made by a friend in a lathe) and it works very well, however, it limits me to try some tricks e.g., seat on the board

Other, but no fireball

Other, but no fireball

you've made me curious... what would that be?

I've tried to edit the pool to remove the "cabrinha fireball" from the "other" option but it's not possible...

I'm riding the stealth spreader bar with the ability for it to be fixed or for it to slide. I just pop the loop out to slide while I'm foiling or surfing, or pop it back in for a fixed point if I'm twin tipping and boosting.

Same for me, though I added the Ion slider setup to my Dakine Nitrous shorts. I use this friction ring: https://smcgear.com/rigging-ring.html

Mine is pretty much like this - dakine vega with removed hook.

Should be able to choose more than one option.

I use a waist with both a hook or slider depending on kite and conditions.
