People keep telling me my 22 inch harness lines are too short, sooooooo I have just put 26 inch ones on. I know it will feel weird but what tips do people have to stop my bum slapping across the waves? I am only 173cm tall. Shouldn't people with shorter arms use shorter lines? I already attach my boom quite high on the mast, 2/3 of the way up the cut-out.

About how long do most people have their harness lines? I'm 5'8" (172cm) and I have a waist harness. I'm a beginner and just about to try getting into a harness. Methinks that what I have now are too short. I have a pair of Neil Pryde adjustable lines - 20" to 26". With the boom set at about shoulder height (maybe somewhere between nipple and shoulder height) and the lines adjusted to their max length there's still along way between my hook and the harness line. Any suggestions for a place to start would be muchly appreciated. If I need longer lines, does anyone out there in Seabreeze land have an old set they'd care to donate to worthy ol' vet?
