About this harness

The Assassin is Naish's hardback harness, moulded from patented Pure material for high stiffness and extreme durability. It plants kite pull across the whole back plate and refuses to deform under load — the Naish answer for boosting and powered freeride, built to outlast the kites it flies with.
