A securing device for kite_surfing for hooking and unhooking a wing from a kite surfer's body, comprises a connection bar intended to be fixed to the surfer's body and a hook protruding from the bar for engaging the ends of a couple of cables coming from the front comers of the wing. A clasp protrudes from the bar in correspondence to the hook which can be placed on the hook to assure the closing of the hook. The clasp is movable to allow the unhooking of the couple of cable ends from the hook. At least in the engagement position, the clasp is stably locked on the hook by a moderate force due to mechanical interference.

A safety system of a harness, in particular of the trapezoidal type, is suitable for use on watercraft such as a yacht or windsurfer. A basic element (10) is coupled to the harness. A hook (15), suitable for being hooked by a cable, is coupled to the basic element (10). The basic element (10) has a first piece (31) connected to the harness and a second piece (30, 15) that can be disconnected from said first piece (31). The first piece (31) is coupled to the second piece (30, 15) by a coupling (32) that can be removed.

A control device for a kite comprises an elongate rigid control bar extending either side of a central region to provide separated hand-grippable regions for a kite user and anchor points for first and second control lines of a kite. A third control line for the kite is attached to a harness loop at one end and extends from the harness loop towards the kite. A stopper is rigidly fixed to the third control line adjacent the harness loop. The stopper is wedge shaped in a predetermined plane. A body is attached to the central region of the control bar. The body has a cavity for releasably receiving the stopper and an opening in a wall of the cavity. The cavity is wedge shape towards the opening for rotating the stopper to the predetermined plane when it engages against the inner walls of the cavity.

A chest trapeze (1) is cut to size from a flexible plate (2) made of plastic, which is sewn in a tear-resistant covering (3) made of a synthetic fiber fabric. The chest trapeze (1) has a back part (4), two hip and abdominal parts (5, 6) extending crosswise to the latter and two shoulder parts (7, 8) adjoining the back part (4). A support for the lumbar area of the spinal column (9) of a surfer or sailor, made of support elements (11) with limited flexibility interlocking with one another, is integrated in the back part (4). The mode of action of support elements (11) is such that when the surfer leans back, the support elements are pushed together into a stiff brace matched to the curvature of the spinal column (9) in the lumbar area, and when the surfer bends forward, the support elements spread out from one another into a flexible link belt. Trapeze (1) thus assures that with the various maneuvers, the surfer enjoys full freedom of movement.

A variable strength magnetic holding assembly as disclosed. It includes an attachment plate with a section made of magnetic material and a holding and support assembly adapted to magnetically hold the attachment plate thereon. An adjustment knob is used to vary the magnetic coupling between the attachment plate and the holding and support assembly.

A traction arrangement for use by a sail surfer or water skier who is pulled along by holding onto a bar-shaped member connected to pulling apparatus, has two pulling elements which are arranged to be worn by a user and each having a leading end, and two connecting elements for detachably connecting the pulling elements to the bar-shaped member. Each of the connecting elements is provided at the leading end of a respective one of the pulling elements and is flexible so as to be deformable about the bar-shaped member by a pressure of the user's hands to thereby engage the bar-shaped member in frictional connection with the latter. In the event of a fall or when the user wishes to disengage the bar-shaped member, cessation of pressure by the user's hands suffices to terminate the frictional connection. The connecting elements may be formed by inner portions of gloves which are connected to the pulling elements. A method of manufacturing such gloves includes the steps of providing a glove reinforcing element having a surface which corresponds to an inner surface of the user's hand, positioning an immersion mold which has portions corresponding to glove fingers, on this surface of the reinforcing element, and immersing the mold in a glove-forming material so as to form the glove as the coating of the mold.

A hookless coupling device for releasable connection to a sports harness includes an elongate body having a connector end for connection with the sports harness, an engagement end, and an elongate aperture extending between the connector end and the engagement end for engaging an engager. The aperture is wider at the connector end than at the engagement end. The sports harness includes a band for surrounding the waist or hips of a person, and the elongate body. A sports device, releasably engagable to the harness, has a spherical engager tethered with a line. The aperture passes the spherical engager though the engagement end and the engager is moved to the connector end. A sports kite includes a canopy, a traction line having a first end tethered to the canopy, and a second end to which the spherical engager is connected.

A harness for wind sports has a rigid, external composite frame that contours to a region of a user's back. Direct connections between the composite frame and a spreader bar facilitate transmission of forces. The spreader bar may have a rope to provide a sliding attachment point to a sail or kite.
