Using the harness

How to windsurf with a harness

This tutorial will teach you how to get hooked on windsurfing by using the harness. Learn the basics of technique in light winds and guidance for practice before taking these skills into stronger winds. With the harness mastered, windsurfing instantly becomes more enjoyable.

The harness is a waist belt with a hook on the front. You can use this hook to attach yourself to the harness lines, which are attached to the boom.

Hooked in with the harness, the holding forces of the sail are transferred directly to the body. This relieves the strain on the arms. The arms only carry out steering movements. This allows you to surf for a long time without tiring.
