AK
Harnesses, vests and travel bags
AK is the brand you most often meet around the waist here — harnesses are their strength. From the minimal Ether to the carbon hard-shell Method RS, they cover everything from first sessions to aggressive big air.
We also stock their safety gear — an impact vest, a buoyancy vest and the Riot helmet — plus travel bags, including the wheeled Travel Coffin.

More about the product →Which AK harness to choose
- Ether seat — minimal and light; a seat harness does not ride up, which makes it friendly for beginners.
- Fuse seat — a classic seat harness with a low cut and full back support.
- Ether waist — light and compact, built around comfort and durability.
- Ether Lowback — a low profile, ideal for wingfoiling.
- Synth and Synth RS — hard-shell-like back support in a softer package; the RS adds a new spreader bar system.
- Method RS Carbon and Method RS Gold FlaxFusion — hard shell with ergonomic carbon support and a stiff back.
The Aerobar goes with the harnesses — a closing system you pick to match your model.
Frequently asked questions about AK gear
A seat harness (Ether, Fuse) sits low and does not ride up — comfortable for beginners and long sessions. A waist harness (Ether waist, Synth RS, Method RS) gives more freedom of movement and better force transfer once you start jumping.
A hard shell has a rigid ergonomic outer shell — at AK that is the carbon support in the Method RS Carbon and Method RS Gold FlaxFusion. The kite's pull spreads over a larger area, so the harness does not twist or ride up. Softer models are more adaptable; a hard shell is more stable under strong pull.
An impact vest cushions landings and protects your ribs — it is what jumpers wear. A buoyancy vest is about flotation and safety in deep water. They are two different things; if jumping is your goal, take the impact vest.
Travel Coffin 145 and 160 are padded wheeled bags for a full setup — the number is the length in centimetres, so pick it by your longest board. For everything else there is the Duffel Bag.
