+1 on the Mystic. Very comfortable and big plastic hook is nice. As said in the video, good for pointing upwind and saving the shoulders, elbows and wrists.
Thanks, JakeDawg-hope you're having a great start to your season, my friend. Good winds! -Aaron
I have the Mystic wingman. I use the Oceanus eel leash. That floated around too much on the line on the back. Any suggestions to keep it locked in the Center of the back?
That's a great question, my friend. 🤙🏽 A quick phone call might be the best way to suss this one out. Got time to chat? (800) 622-4555
In cold weather condition when you have glove, the harness really help for arm fatigue
Thank you for sharing your experience, my friend. 🤙🏽 Good winds to you. -Aaron
I like the idea of less water absorption on the ION Rogue, but how is that ION ARC or the Mystic Wingman regarding that? I don't think I want something as big as the Rogue.
What is your take on the Ride Engine Vinaka Pro? How does it compare to the three harnesses in the video?
Thanks, appreciate all your videos!
Vinaka pro is excellent as well. Similar to my favorite at the moment, Mystic Majestic wing. -Tucker
Thanks Tucker! The majestic wing looks nice - what size are you using?
But isn’t the majestic wing similar to the ion rogue, or is it more flexible and giving you more feel of the wing?
Great questions@@adjkerf . I'm a 32-33" waist and I wear the XL. This model fits a little smaller than most.
The Majestic has more flexibility and it's lower profile so you aren't as restricted in your movement. -Tucker
Any suggestions on best way to attach board leash and wing leash at the same time. Last time I tried I almost hung myself.
The most failsafe way is using a wrist or ankle leash for one and a harness leash for the other. You can connect both to the harness but if the harness somehow fails, you'll be without a floatation aid for a swim in.
Thanks. Great point that did not occur to me.
Do you think the harnes makes difficult a waist wing leash?
No, we just hook up to the back of the harness. -Tucker
@@MACkiteboarding do you hook up to the back the wing leash or only the board leash ?
I guess both leashes hooked up is dangerous ?
@@franpinyol8500 i ride both leashes on the harness. Despite where are the leashes - I hate all those leashes in winging 😂
I normally ride for 3 hours with no harness. My right index finger is swelling up after long sessions now. This has to change.
I use the dakine one, the buckle keeps loosening during the session
Loop the webbing strap back through the buckle, this will stop this
Looks like our friends at Dakine have gotten you all taken care of on this one. 🤙🏽 Good winds to you, my friend. -Aaron
@@dakinewind7344 maybe I am a bit dumb or smth :D do you have somewhere a picture how to do it correctly please?
@@mindebrolis9582 No, not at all we will make a video it can be a bit tricky if you are not familiar with the System. There is also some photos on the detail portion of the site.
If speed and upwind are easier, why do none of the world cup wing racers use a harness?
I used a harness from day one. So much more comfortable and it extends your sessions!
Many of them do nowadays. Especially for long courses. -Tucker
@@MACkiteboarding No they don't! You haven't been following the latest GWA tour races.
I think they don't wear harnesses in GWA races because upwind legs are fairly short. Top GWA racers are also top level athletes. For me, I'm faster upwind with the harness because I can't hold full power upwind for very long. Also, in San Francisco races, upwind are longer, and most are using harnesses, inluding Johnny Heineken
Just about everyone in DefiWing wore a harness, no need for short 2 minute sprint races GWA run
