Not a review, interested to know if anyone is using one? Good, bad etc?

Also what size (waist) are you and what size did you require??

does anywhere stock them in SEQ?

i checked out the dakine t4's the other day, they feel about half the weight of my current dakine t2, still seem just as comfortable.

But you don't want your harness to be light do you?

Surf FX can get Flying Objects. But as they don't keep the Indie in stock I was after some opinions.

Dakine stuff is about 3 weeks away from being in stock. I am just after something a bit different to the rest on the east coast, and the fact FO is an Aussie brand makes it even better.

I have one on the way if auswind have them, I was just after any one who has used one for an opinion.

Do know about Billabong, hopefully it will mean the Billabong warehouse that is just down the road from me will be choc full of DaKine stuff in the coming months. And even better if the factory outlets we have close by start sell the stuff off cheap

Word was they only wanted DaKine for the bags and snow gear, but had to take on the windsurf stuff as part of the deal.

Not sure what that may mean for the future of DaKine windsurf though.

Mate, as you are just getting into it and seem pretty keen, once I have my upgrade in my hands you can have my prolimit waist harness. It would just sit in the shed otherwise, so you might as well put it to use.

I Got one of these harness , INDIE A FEW weeks back just walked in and needed the best and got this throwen at me.

Before i payed i had the black texter on in and got rid of the IN.........that made it better to start with.

Like all new stuff you see faults / differences technological change they call it, thats not the same as the old faithfull that served you so well.

1 confortable yes Light ..............the double sided plastic buckles are ok but j have found it was slipping over a sesion of wave wacking ...........not that others dont and havent in the past a some point ......... IM GETTING ONE SIDE stiched and the webbing run over by the sewing machine for it to grip hard ,no slip slop slap ............dont let this through you .......
...all harness need this and tweeking if you got plastic backles and as they wear in.

Anyway .............A point i made AND got laughed at WAS TRY IT YOUR SELF
When you do a harnes up do you go RIGHT HAND OVER LEFT or LEFT HAND OVER RIGHT to secure it thats the (velcro ) to get it really reaLLY REALLY tight around your fat cat pudding guts or curvy hips

I GO RIGHT OVER LEFT CRANKING THE RIGHT HAND TO SECURE THE HOOKS IN THE VERCRO TO THE SOFT CURELY swirly hair ....................

BUT NOW SUDDENLY IM A LEFT HANDED OVER RIGHT ?????????. to do it up ?

There is surly to GOD more right handers than lefthanders out there smacking lips and sinking ships ...........oh well left or right ill take no prisoners ......... Can it be used up side down ...... so .....DIE
