has any one used or tryed the Dakine Nitrous Shorts 2010 i cant use waste harness popped rib years ago have to use seat its ok but these look good does anyone stock these in nsw if so how much $$$ and roughly how long do they last any one know?any bad things about them
Kiteboarding, shorts dont seem to last long, i go through quite a few sets each year. But my harnesses last for 2 or more seasons. So i would think they are a bit of a gimmick. But if you put in the time to look after them replace zipps, buckles and repair stitching as it fails it may be ok. I think they are around the $230 mark so is cheaper than buying a harness and a pair of shorts.
I've used these for a couple of season, work well, one rusty eyelet in pocket everything else still good. For the summertime I wear a pair of wetsuit shorts underneath to cushion the straps around the legs.
thanks for quick replys guys also do they feel the same as kiting in a seat harness comfort etc nah not worried about looks just the rib thing cant afford stuff it again there never the same again as for seat harnesses yer they just look like your got a big buggie in there but the grannies love it gives them something to talk about while beach walking 
thanks again
I used to use the dakine and switched to the liquid force ones. They sit a little higher up so they are midway between a waist and a seat. They're also a little more comfortable and come with the spreaderbar pad.
If you do go for the dakine, make sure you get the spreadbar pad, the uncomfortable as hell without it.
Contact Matt (0450-101500) or Vit (0400-408040) in NSW, they both have the LF Boardshorts harness in stock. These harnesses provide excellent support especially for those with back problems, or when you are riding long distance.
used them for a while but they use to bruise the inside of my thighs and put a heap of tension on my lower back when going toeside on a surfboard made toeside upwind tack difficult to say the least not my preferred choice in the waves if you are unstrapped ......the spreader pad is an absolute must
cheers
This is what the 2010's look like. Not sure why there isn't a 2011 boardshorts on the website (or a seat harness for that matter). I don't think they would have discontinued them
To be uploaded but we have all sizes in stock.
