I eat normal, drink (alcohol) normal....

BUT....

Female Waist Harnesses seem to start at 34inches (XS). Which is all good and dandy if your waist is 34 plus inches... but mine is 29inches (and that is measuring generously!)

I'm 1.70m so not a small girl by any measure, but struggle to find a harness which is small enough to be comfortable whilst looking awesome kiting!!

Does anyone have the same problem?? Know a brand that is compfy and does smaller sizes?? Knows a good harness that I can sew smaller?? (i.e. the velcro and remove one buckle to make smaller) Should I look into kiddy harnesses?? and is there such a thing??

I'm not a small guy but since I've started kiting my harness size has dropped from L to S.

Funny thing is my boardie size is still 34??

Maybe this obesity epidemic has made its way to the design tables?

No. Though your profile has 3000+ views, and I only have 108, whats with that!?

Hahaha
After reading that I checked mine and had 2200+!!! WTF
Then I saw the pic I posted of my misses hahaha

I think the XS mystic girls waist harness (Hana?) is 26-28". I have the 2009 version, it's a comfy harness, I have started using mine again because its better for strapless than the nappy.

do you eat regularly?

Ezza is right with those mystic xs measurements, I got me an xs n it fits great... Sorry to miss ur anorexic face this wkend, I kited on the coast both days

hahaha funny about the profile views never noticed

Hey Briskites,

Your a big (unusual) girl at 85kg and 32" waist, have you got an Adams Apple?

hi not sure if they still make them but the Maui Magic harnesses seem to have the female sizing down pat... not sure how easy they are to find. Satin lined to you don't get rash kiting in the bikini - good for all parties!

I have a prolimit XS which is at least one size to big(even with wet suit). I put the mystic female XS on the other week and it was even larger!!

For the people taking my anorexic comments seriously- I eat a lot, eat most boys under the table. N am a happy 60kgs. I was 4kg's lighter BK (before kiting), and a maybe a lot fitter... (Triathlon fit vs kiting)

Where can I try these maui magic and ion harnesses out (they look good online but have no size charts to indicate the size associates with XS,S etc).

I'm Newcastle. Wud Sydney kite shops be the closest with these brands.

Thanks everyone for the laughs and great info!

Have you been watching me????



I'm probably the hairiest chick in the world too

It's not just on the Internet kiting girls get attention, I borrowed my flatmate's pink kite one day and as soon as I launched 8 blokes came looping downwind to checkout some hot chick, it was even funnier how quickly they tacked back upwind when they saw how hairy my boobs and stomach are

Eat more lard.

it may be pink but it's boostie

Hey Miss Jessie if ya still on the look out for a harness maybe try the Dakine Wahine.....

I am the same height, weight and size waist as you (must be the perfect build for a kitechick...), I have the Dakine harness in a small size for waist 28 - 30inches, the XS is suitable for 26-28inches - maybe try the XS as my harness sometimes gets a little lose after a kite session..the harness as vvv comfy ,

Funny cos when other people have tried it on they can't believe how tiny it is, but I would not consider myself to be little in the slightest...more athletic build

I eat normal and drink (alcohol) normal...aswell

Happy kiting
