I am working with a young man who has enjoyed kite surfing, but recently experienced a work-related accident with left trans metacarpal amputation of rays 2 - 5, thumb intact. He is now recovering, and interested in resuming his sport.

Any suggestions regarding best type or design of adaptive devices for this man to continue safe use of his kite and harness apparatus?
