The harness is a trapeze used in the sports of windsurfing and kitesurfing to connect the rider to the rig by a line attached to the boom or kitesurfing bar. It consists of a girdle-like contraption that is worn around the body, with a hook for attachment.〔(Harness Suitable for Use on Watercraft )〕 Hooking-in the harness is done by pulling the sail toward the body and hooking into the harness lines on the boom. The harness turns windsurfing into a long lasting activity, taking the weight of the sail off the arms of the windsurfer. ==Types of harnesses== There are four basic types of harnesses: *The waist harness: Worn around the waist and lower back, providing back support. *Crossover Harness (e.g. Dakine XT) Fits around the backside but has padding and support for the back as well. *The seat (or slalom) harness: Fits around the backside, with straps that pass between the legs. *The chest harness: Fits over the chest like a vest, providing buoyancy and padding for protection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Windsurfing harness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
