Pros n cons as always but this may be helpful information for those who have various injuries / medical problems and still want to enjoy kiting Or just want to maximize your fun time on the water with minimum risk and energy expenditure...
Some years back I mentioned about children and that the forces and posture will eventually take its toll on their 'developing' spinal curvature... so would be good for parents to learn and show them some basic stretches / exercises to counter this.
They have a lot of years ahead of them - give them a good start...
Lastly - the Wedgy problem that pisses off 'everyone' and makes people sometimes shy away - can be moded to solve the problem.
The manufacturers need to do this as a standard...
The Fix - a firm triangular pad about 4-6 inches in length, needs to be sewn into where the lower leg straps meet at the bottom..
It instantly stops the wedgy and makes it more comfortable.
When you go to a park - and sit on a rubber belt swing, your butt is supported and your legs hang over - NO WEDGY !
I'll [post a pic of mine when I'm home next week..
I can't ride a waist harness. I've got a buggered lower back, so seat harness is the go for sure.
