“This is the first and only harness system I have used that doesn’t ride up. It is easy and fast as well. Finally!”
OUR STORY
Hydrocinch® was founded by two friends with a single mission; to make a better fitting kite harness that didn't loosen up.
As avid kiteboarders, we were frustrated with the limitations of commercial harnesses. We were especially discouraged when kiting sessions ended early because of discomfort and spreader bar ride-up. After many uncomfortable sessions on the water we decided to combine our professional expertise and focus our energy into building kite gear that is designed, tailored and caters to all skill levels and body styles of kiters.
The result is secured and connected all day riding comfort, in a kiteboarding harness that is tailor made for you.
