    Been a couple of times to have some fun recreational kiting on the beach

    Chars! Looking forward to being flung around like a rag doll!

    I ordered a Peter Lynn Twister 4.0 with handles, this is supposed to come with all that noobie gear (I don't mind being tarred with that brush - it's accurate at the moment!) Perhaps I wasn't clear - the seat harness I've ordered does include a roller pulley arrangement, but I also have spreader bars with plain hooks (windsurfing)

    OK, thanks for the explanation - so much new terminology, apologies for screwing it up (somewhat inevitably!) I went for the Peter Lynn base seat harness (looked good enough for a start and I didn't fancy a waist or back harness)

    I've gone for a seat harness (so that I can transfer it to a buggy if I want, and I'm used to that sort of setup windsurfing, it's nice to be able to take the load off and just sit into it) - I think it's a captive roller spreader as well (makes sense for handles and a rope), but I have D-loop spreader bars that I can load into the seat harness anyway OK, I'm probably going to need quite a long harness line, if I go by your measurements, I'll need at least 30" (75cm) to get enough play

    ahh, ok, I didn't think about activity - I'm going to be recreational kiting mainly (scuds, jumps, land-boarding) and I'd like a go at buggying, but that's a little way off for now

    How do I best go about choosing a decent sized harness-line for my handles? Is there some rule of thumb (multiply the length of your forearm by 2, subtract the girth of your thigh, then sacrifice a virgin for the best size...) that means I can pick a decent sized harness line that's close to the optimum for me (6' 5" tall, long arms/legs, too fat if I'm honest) - I've played on handles, I've windsurfed on a harness, I know how important size can be, just don't want to make/buy three sizes if I can get it about right the first time around
