Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions, hopefully this should appease me for awhile. Anyway, I am want to go kite skiing this winter and it occured to me that I would probably need a bar(currently using handles) and harness. What have people used and what should I be looking for? I am flying an Ozone Samurai and weigh about 210 pounds. As far as the bar goes what are the differences between the aluminum and carbon fiber, etc? Who sells them? I imagine that a harness for skiing is different than surfing. Has anyone jerry rigged a climbing harness with a safety release to use with kites? Once again, where can I find something like that?

You wouldnt have to have a bar. YOu can get a strop and use handles with a harness that has a pulley on the front of it. You may like it better as you still have your brakes.
