My Comments:
The ride engine is a unique design. I bought a Naish Cartel due to the seeming lower back support in the past but this was nothing alike. The ride engine is light, contours to the lumbar spine nicely and with the slider bar makes downwinders fantastic. I found cutting upwind much easier riding toeside, and it took zero time at all to be totally at home with the harness and the slider bar. Back pain and chaffing are a thing of the past. Comfort is here and there's no looking back. I've not changed to fixed hook yet but I look forward to doing so. The lower back support would give far greater safety against rib fractures than any other waist harness I've seen or used. I'm sure I'll be seeing many more of them out on the water in the near future!

Why do you want the fixed hook?

@ 600 bucks it ought to give you a full body massage and make dinner as well...

I test the harness but it was not comfortable for me. I have a seat harness due to back problems with dynabar bar.

I have decided to sell mine if anyone is looking for an XL
