RRD’s brand new harness collection suits different needs, rather than claiming each of our harnesses do it all for anyone. Everyone is different. We all have a different back shape, style of riding, stance and preferred riding conditions. This is why we have developed a range of harnesses that suits your personal preference. The main variants in the range are firstly, the different stiffness and flex in the back of the harness. A stiffer harness will suit people that are looking for comfort and stability during those fully powered or explosive sessions. A more flexible harness is more suitable for freeride or ‘down the line’ styles of riding.
Secondly the RRD waist harnesses have different back shapes with more or less vertical curve. From a curved back, a natural back shape to a flat back, we have the right harness for you. This year we focused on user experience, ease of use, clean design and high-tech materials and technologies. This is visible in the new Shield harness, Thrive and improved bar stabilizer. The barpad with stabilizer wings, slides into the side of your harness, to prevent ride up of the hook and protects your ribs. The bar stabilizer with hook can be swapped out for a rope bar, which also features the stabilizer wings. This converts any kite waist harness into a wave harness. It helps you to extend your turns and rotate further and easier while wave riding.
The seat harnesses have been redesigned to fit better and spread the load more.
Browse the collection, try them out and decide what’s your personal favorite.

The RRD Shield kite harness features our premium, low profile, spread tow carbon support shield. This 3D moulded stiff carbon plate, with naturally curved back and pre-shape, spreads the load of the kite for maximum back support. It doesn’t absorb water, so it stays light. The slim harness profile combined with flexible side and rib areas allow for freedom of movement and enhance performance in long or powerful sessions. The inside now features Memory foam combined with soft neoprene, which gives you that extra bit of comfort. The improved barpad with stabilizer wings, slides into the side of your harness, to prevent ride up of the hook and protects your ribs. The bar stabilizer with hook can be swapped out for a rope bar (available separately), which also features the stabilizer wings. This converts any kite waist harness into a wave harness.

The redesigned 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 newly 3d moulded outer has an improved pre-shape and is covered in neoprene to stretch around its complex curves. The improved barpad with stabilizer wings prevents ride up of the hook and protects your ribs. Swapping out the barpad for a rope bar with stabilizer wings (available separately), will make the Thrive the ultimate wave riding machine.
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/wave sessions. The Stark also features our barpad with stabilizer wings and it is rope bar compatible.
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. The Sense features our improved barpad with stabilizer wings. It slides into the side of your harness, to prevent ride up of the hook and protects your ribs. A rope bar with stabilizer wings (available separately) can be added to make this the ultimate women’s kite wave harness.
Our all new Rope Spreaderbar with stabilizer wings will convert any harness in our collection into a wave orientated harness. The Spectra rope bar with the all new stainless steel slider part 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 extending your turns without the kite limiting your body rotations.
Be ready for some next level wave-riding.

The KR Seat harness has been redesigned in shape to spread the load better over the lower back and seat area. The low hook position brings the pull of the kite close to your center of gravity so you can handle more kite power without much effort. This principle minimizes the pressure on the lower back and abdominal muscles and maximizes stability. The harness is curved around the hips in a natural surf-stance to ensure a great seat part-fit that stays in position.
