Thinking I might try this but not sure how to attach the wing
and harness. Anyone made a video?

I'm using a harness with my 6m wing but not with my 4m.
It works pretty naturally .
I did attach windsurf harness lines. I think 24"
here is a little clip:

' Good example, stenninger.
If one of you have kited, (I know Dwight has.) can you compare
the 'pull' of a wing versus a kite? Also, does it 'pulse'
(wanting to pull you off-center) in gusts? Thanks.

The pull of a wing is way less than the pull of a kite! It feels
like maybe 20% of the pull of a kite.
My 6m is pretty calm. Thats why it feels comfortable to ride it
hooked.
My 4m needs and creates less pull but this one is way more
nervous. Thats why using a harness is not needed and it does not
feel as natural.

That's than number I was looking for... 20%. I've been working
on a wing harness but only have memories of seat and waist
harness' from when I kited from 2003-16. I can add a hot tip:
Cynthia Brown has tried a number of loops and concluded 'the
softer - the better'. She has talked of the loop slapping her
face like a Deacon's cane. But, she wings at a different level
than most mortals.
