The rotating harness: août 2009

The rotating harness is specifically designed for kite towed sport. It allows a rotation of the body previously impossible with a conventional harness. Very easy to use, it frees the rider’s mobility, thus makes session more enjoyable. Any level rider can make or invent the most complicated tricks without effort or danger.

No more needs to be unhooked to make a handle-pass!

The rotating harness has a removable pin that locks easily the harness hook on the front. The rider can be initiated at its own pace to the rotary position of the harness.This locked position brings the rotating harness to classic windsurfing harness and can thus continue to perform all current figures unhooked.

In rotary position, the rotating harness allows to chain handle-pass, comfortably, safely and in the fluidity of a chain.

You can string together tricks immediately after handle-pass without losing time to hook back in!

Why handle-pass is more pleasant and less dangerous without being unhooked?

First the kite is no longer blocked in full power, you can manage its tensile strength (the shock-border) at any time, making the start and the receipt of the handle-pass much more enjoyable. Then the kite stay hooked to the rotating harness, so the physical exertion in the arm is much smaller and you no longer risk a tear in your shoulder. Next mistakes are easily forgiven, you can drop the bar at any time and resume later easily. And finally you can string a trick immediately after the handle-pass without having to get downwind to hook back in.Beyond handle-pass the rotating harness simplifies all blend receptions and makes navigation as a whole more enjoyable.

The rotating harness is truly a revolution, either in kiteboarding, snowkite or mountainboard. Available in waist harness or seat harness, it’s the logical and natural development of the windsurfing harness, really designed for kite surfing.

Just try it to feel and understand all the comfort, the potential and benefits.

The rotating harness was invented in 2004 by Tristan Chauvet-brou.The international patent is currently being developed by the brand “kitebelt", starting in 2009 a small production in New Caledonia. The “kitebelt” model is a closed and rigid circle on which circulates the loop hook. This circle is attached to a classical harness and replaces the fixed hook loop. Completely designed with marine stainless steel and optimized by a consulting firm, has been tested many times in New Caledonia. This is a premium product that works with high precision. It is perfectly safe, foolproof and extremely robust.
