RRD - THRIVE PLUS Y27 Kitesurf y Windsurf

The success of the universal windsurf / kitesurf Thrive Plus Y27 lies in it’s vertically curved ergonomic back shape. Suitable for riders with a more hollow, curved lower back, or riders that prefer an upright riding position. Riding styles like down the line wave riding, foiling or freerding will get you the most out of the Thrive Plus harness. The 3D moulded outer shell is pre-shaped both horizontally and vertically and it’s covered in neoprene to stretch around it’s complex curves. The improved barpad with stabilizer wings slides into the side of your harness, to prevent the hook from riding up to protect your ribs. The barpad with universal kite / windsurf hook can be swapped out for a rope bar with stabilizer wings (available separately). A rope bar converts any waist harness into a kite wave harness. It helps to extend your turns, by allowing you to rotate further and easier than you would with a hook spreader bar. A Thrive plus harness combined with a rope bar will make this a must have for a dedicated wave rider.

What about the last RRD Y27 Harness Collection:

RRD’s brand new Y27 harness collection is cleaner than ever, with some brand new innovations and fine tuned classics. From the beginning RRD harnesses focus on rider’s different back shapes, styles of riding, stance and preferred riding conditions. This is how we have developed a range that suits personal preferences. The main variants in the range are firstly, the different stiffness and flex in the back of the harness. A stiffer harness will suit people that are looking for comfort and stability during those fully powered or explosive sessions. A more flexible harness is more suitable for freeride or ‘down the line’ styles of riding.

Secondly the RRD waist harnesses have different back shapes with more or less vertical curve. From a curved back, a natural back shape to a flat back, we have the right harness for you. This year we have simplified our range and combined a few kite and windsurf models together into one universal model that can be used safely for both kite and windsurfing. Look for the PLUS models in the collection. The universal spreader bar and hook can be purchased separately too to convert any model into a universal one.

A focus on user experience made us simplify our harnesses to become clean and function with high-tech materials and ergonomic shapes. From the spread tow carbon outer shell of the Shield models, the Composite ergonomic back support batten in the Shift pro plus, to a 3D moulded ‘soft shield’ on the Thrive plus models. Most models feature our barpad with stabilizer wings, which slides into the side of your harness, to prevent the hook from riding up to protects your ribs.

If you prefer riding waves on your kite, consider our rope sliding bar to convert any harness into a wave riding specific harness.
