No UsE Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Which harness are better? Seat harness or waist harness? Quote
kitefreek Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Seat harnesses are beta for jumping coz they wont cum up around ur shoulders and under urr arms, but are more expensive. I imagine waist harnesses are betta for traction activities like buggying where u dnt need lift if ur just cruising. What will u be using it for? king_of_the_sky 1 Quote
No UsE Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Posted April 12, 2004 I am gowing to use it whith my blade 6.5 and flexifoil airdeck on bar for jumping and just crusing! Quote
kitefreek Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 id getta seat harness if i was u. Its a 6.6 i think ull find Quote
skytigerer Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 to correct kitefreek a little. waist harnesses once fitted correctly can be a much free-er and more comfortable alternative to seats. With correct sizing and learning to put them on properly they wont ride up, you never see pro's with them up in their armpits!!!!! however, if you are looking for first harness, i'd recomend a seat, as it will bring the centre of pull/liftto your natural centre of gravity, making for a better stance etc. waists and seats end to be eqully matched in price and both have advantages over the other : i recomend a decnt deep seat harness, like a Dakine Fusion, or Maui Magic mystic series.

Roland Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Waist harnesses only ride up if your body shape`s wrong.. If there riding up..try loosing a few lbs or build up your upper body... robecq1599968616 1 Quote
robecq1599968616 Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 One very good reason to have a seat harness is for when you come off and get dragged along on your backside. the padding stops you ripping yourself a new hole! oh it also protects your trousers too Quote
kitefreek Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Ok, i have kited with my friends windsurfing waist harness and its like a corset! hehe Quote

kitefreek Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 oh sorry! was loking through my subscribed thread! it doesn't matter i didn think it would upset some people Quote
king_of_the_sky Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 it just seams a bit silly to ask if he got a harness im sure if he really wants us to know he will tell us Quote
king_of_the_sky Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 really big of u to -ve rep me!! kiting mad and srod 2 Quote
c_oriordan Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 im gonna give windsurf harness a shot. gonna bodge a bar for the blade and see what its like for kiting. i seriously say (although noones said anything about it yet) that sailing harnesses are the best, as they come as saet harnesses, have metal spreaders for kk's, bendy hook for security, but you can still remove your bar attachment, (so long as it is quite stiff, not just a piece of rope) - like the flexifoil ones are good. hope my bar works!- will it be better for jumping you reckon?
