The present invention provides a kite surfing harness 100 with one or more safety release mechanisms for deployment in case of an emergency. The release mechanism comprises first 220 and second 240 ripcords. The first ripcord releases a kite from its connection to a belt of the harness and the second ripcord releases the belt from the user. In a further embodiment a first safety release mechanism 140 comprises a first ripcord which can be removed to release a hook-carrying portion 120 from a belt portion 114 of the harness. A second safety release mechanism 160 provides a second ripcord which can be removed to release a kite-connecting leash (400, Fig 4) from the user. The first and second ripcords may be attached to the same handle 200, thus enabling the first and second safety release mechanisms to be deployed in succession by continued pulling on that handle. |
