A control apparatus for a kite powered conveyance device. Port and starboard kite leads ( 28,32 ) and/or port and starboard kite control lines ( 30, 36 ) connect ends of a control bar ( 26, 26' ) to port and starboard ends of a kite ( 12 ). A tether guide ( 34, 34', 34'' ) is connected to one end of the control bar ( 26 ) or to one of the kite leads ( 28, 32 ). A harness ( 12 ) with a spreader bar ( 18 ) is adapted to be worn by a user of the kite powered conveyance device. An arm ( 20, 20' ) is connected to the spreader bar ( 18 ). A tether connector ( 42, 42' ) and a hook ( 22, 22' ) are rotatably mounted on the arm ( 20, 20' ) for rotation about the longitudinal axis of the arm ( 20, 20' ). The hook ( 22, 22' ) is hooked to the control bar ( 26, 26' ) to connect the control bar ( 26, 26' ) to the spreader bar ( 18 ). A tether ( 38 ) passes through the tether guide ( 34, 34', 34'' ) and has its first end connected to the tether connector ( 42, 42' ) and its second end connected to one of the Kite control lines ( 30, 36 ).
