Wing Foiling | How to Attach Your Harness Line to Your Boom

Step 1: Preparing the Harness Line
Our journey begins with the harness line, a key component in this setup. Start by laying out the line and removing any twists or tangles. The goal is to create a loop large enough to accommodate the boom. To do this, push the line through itself, forming a loop. This step is more about precision than force; ensure the loop is neither too tight nor too loose.
Step 2: Attaching to the Boom
Once your loop is ready, it’s time to introduce the boom into the equation. Slide the loop onto the boom, positioning it at your desired location. This could vary depending on your height and the type of winging you're doing. After sliding the loop into place, tighten it to ensure it grips the boom firmly. A loose harness line can lead to instability, so double-check this step.
Step 3: Setting up the Connector Piece
Next, we focus on the connector piece. This small but crucial component needs to be looped through and then positioned onto the boom. Slide it to the appropriate position and tighten it securely. The connector piece acts as a bridge between the line and the boom, so its stability is non-negotiable.
Step 4: Securing with a Knot
Now comes a slightly challenging part - securing the setup with a knot. Thread the harness line through and tie a simple overhand knot. This knot is the linchpin of your setup; it must be tight and secure. A well-tied knot prevents the line from slipping out, which could be dangerous mid-activity.
Step 5: Final Adjustments
With the knot in place, it's time for the final adjustments. Tighten the loop and ensure everything is snug and secure. These adjustments are not just about tightness but also about ensuring comfort and ease of movement.
Step 6: Final Checks and Readiness
Our final step is the most critical - double-checking your work. Ensure the top and bottom parts are tight and the overhand knot is secure. These checks are the last line of defense against any potential mishaps.

Hi! Thanks for sharing! Which brand is the harness line?

[@WilKoch]

I found when I was attaching the harness that way it was leaving marks in the boom foam and it didn't rebound. I am going to give the PKS Wing Boom Loops a try to have it distribute the load a bit better.

Thanks, man-please let us know how that works. 🤙🏽 Good winds! -Aaron
