I've only been kiting for a short time and have been using the NP Mirage waist harness which is apparently a decent one and I have even read it has helped people with bad backs..

I do not usually have a bad back, but find that what is making me come in is getting a bad back on the water..the harness is fine for 15-20 mins but it tends to ride up my body no matter how tight I do it up. I come from a windsurfing back ground and always had a waist harness for the waves so thought to get the same for kiting but it's really uncomfortable.

Perhaps it's a bit of beginner poo stance (although I really try to be aware and not do it) or a waist harness is not for me. I learnt kiting to get into waves, is a seat or waist better for this and has anybody found a seat better for lower back pain over a waist?
