Wing foiling and kiteboarding are exciting water sports that have become increasingly popular among children and adults alike. While wing foiling typically doesn't require a harness unless you really want to optimize performance and time on the water, kiteboarding demands specialized equipment to ensure young riders' safety and comfort. Kiteboarding harnesses for kids come in two main types: waist harnesses preferred by more experienced riders, and seat harnesses recommended for beginners, which provide additional support and distribute the kite's pull more evenly across the lower body.
When selecting a harness for a child, parents and instructors should prioritize several key factors: proper fit, adequate padding, adjustability to accommodate growth, and essential safety features.
