my harness fell apart last wednesday because of faulty stitching,i noticed a cut in the foam where the machine had run over the one spot to many times, there for cutting the foam underneath, ive had this harness for years and ive had trouble with the stitching before (cheep chinese thread) the stuff i use is heeps stronger and won't have to worry about it falling apart for a few years
I am mortified that a harness that high quality and so new is already falling apart on you. who'd have thunk it.
Surely the warranty would cover that sort of repair.
(FYI - I use fishing line to repair mine, then its not the thread that breaks but everything else that wears away)
Hey - I just realised - how come the same harness can fit you for that long - do you have some sort of eating disorder ?
your rite krusty mabe be i should get one of those Liquid Force Luxury harness?, you know its not the harness its fine,all the plastic clips ect are fine, its the cheep chineese thread they use,the same day i broke another harness it had a plastic buckle and it broke, this harness has a good tough stainless steel buckle and i should get a few more years out of it
I'd take it straight back to the shop and get a refund!
...except they probably went out of business in the early '90s...
Ya gotta watch that cheap chinese thread, I had a set of foot straps I used in the late 80's and I was spewin when I pulled em out the other day and they were falling apart,
Im waiting for my warranty claim,
There is some good old gear there...the harnesses are still in use,the one on the left is late eighties.I purchased a dakine a couple of years ago to try and replace it and only used the dk twice before I stitched the webbing back together on the old gaastra.
By the way the board is a Jim French mid eighties long board that probably has enough carbon fibre in it to build half a boeing...I'll have to get the GPS onto it some day
There is something wrong with my harness ......
....... it no longer fits my gut after a winter of indulgence
unfortunately, no amount of restitching will resolve the problem ... unless maybe stomach banding counts as stitching
hey goo screw that harness looks like the same vintage as mine i think gaastra must have had a faulty batch that year
i remember the jf's i'm sure they were one of the break through boards to use carbon epoxy if i remember rite they were about 14kg's and quick
Keef, love the board, man!
My question is, why stop at 16 footstraps??
Why not put some around the front so you can shuffle from strap to strap while you're tacking?
