Kiteboaring Harness - Dakine Boardshort Harness

For sale by owner: Kiteboarding Harnesses ($45 -$99)

Dakine Boardshort Harness, size 30" and 34"

Cabrinha Waist Harness, Size 48/Small



The Dakine Boarshort Harness is my favorite kiteboarding harness to date, and I would not be selling if I owned the correct size for me.  Through trial and error, I have discovered I need a 32", but through a mistake on ordering on my part (this is where internet shopping is not your friend) I ended up buying wrong sizes - twice.  Nevertheless, I can still use either harness and even in an incorrect size I am way more comfortable than I ever was with other harnesses I tried.  Get this; even wearing the wrong size of Dakine Boarshort Harness, I am catching huge air, landing tricks, and spending hours on the water and coming back to shore feeling great.  So I can't wait to sell these two harnesses, and use those $ to buy yet another one, this time in the right size for me!

2011 Dakine Boarshort Harness, Nitrous HD, Black: (34")  $50.  This is the harness I used mostly.  There is some minor wear and tear but nothing that will stop you from getting a lot of use out of this harness.  I would keep it if it weren't so darn loose on me, but like I said, I can still spend hours in it comfortably and catch huge air no problem.

2012 Dakine Boardshort Harness, Nitrous HD, Black (30") $99.  This was used only ONE TIME! Like new!  You will not find a better deal, I can guarantee that. 

Both harnesses feature a knife for emergencies, a pocket with a keyring loop, and lots of adjustability.  Leashes are not included but if you need one I have several new and used which I can sell you for $20 - $25 .  Or you can just buy your own.  (Leashes are never, as far as I have seen, included with harnesses when you buy on the internet or at a store). 



 The Cabrinha Waist Harness is what I started out riding with, and it worked, but I eventually favored the boarshort harness style.  Many would disagree with me, and think waist harnesses are the way to go.  It's all a matter of personal preference.  You can try out this harness for a small fraction of what I paid for it, so what's to lose?
