Dakine XT seat harness (with sliding bar)

Sunshine Coast Sailboards sell them (I think) www.scboardsports.com.au/

You will need to order the dakine Sliding bar kit ($15 approx) separately if you want sliding option - I highly recommend a sliding bar as you can position your body weight depending on how hard upwind or broad you are sailing without putting too much pressure on the hips and knees.

PS -spreader bars come in 3 lengths 15, 25, & 30cm. I'm around 35" waist (but not after xmas or public holidays) & use a 30cm bar which provides me with enough range but if you have small waist then possibly 25cm bar would be better suited.

my NP seat got a tear in it (after about 12-15 years - don't make 'em like that any more)

Just bought a Prolimit Rambler from WindSurfnSnow.
Lower back support felt a bit weird at first - but real good out on water.

Lots of choice in seat & waist - recommend go down & try them on rather than take any of our recommendations.
They've got a rope to hang off, so give it a good work-out

^^^^ Yeah, me too . You cant fix it easily either.
Had I known it was going to do that I could have squirted some superglue in there before it frayed.

if its less than a year old shouldnt it be covered by warranty against manufacturing faults?? Ask the shop you bought it from.

Preventitive maintenance, a stitch-in-time etc

had a good look at my (same) harnees last night & decided will get a sailmaker or bootmaker to put extra row of stitching in.

In last photo, the line of stitching under his thumb - continue that up almost to top of white section to prevent pull-out & fraying.
I'd say design fault.

Send you the bill Sam
