converting a windsurfing harness

I just switched to kiting last year, and I have a brand new windsurfing seat harness. Can I convert it to a kite harness. It seems like the only differences are a D ring for the leash and a pocket for a knife...are there any other differences? Seems like I can just sew on a D ring...

sadly there aren't many kite-specific harnesses as they all sort of evolved from windsurfing. your harness should be fine, there are probably a couple places to attach your leash. I actually attach my short leash to my hook. you can also find knives that come with pouches. enjoy!

I have used

Spreader bar needs to be stainless steel, the black aluminum windsurfing spreader bars are not strong enough.
