Darn man - it looks like you wear the thing!
I'm assuming when you make a move the boat really follows! Nice very nice!
I like the high band for the back - sort of like hip pads with a plus! How does it feel after a long day?
Any issues with surfing (front or back)?
What skirt are you using with it?
Thanks for the share!

yeh really nice control compared to my last boat and outfitting (a lapbelt on a Forplay)
Haven't found any issues with surfing, you get geat response when you lean back with the high backband, which is nice when your ferrying in to avoid the annoying unintentional nose squirts... I would still like some better response when i lean forward but haven't tackled that yet.
I use a normal skirt from MEC. Pretty cheap and basic one. I wear it high on my body but no more than I ever have.
I have a pretty low saddle so the legs don't last very long. Ive been in it for a few hours straight and been 'okay'. No feeling in the legs but it comes back slowly.
I find the longer I'm in the boat without a break, the longer day I can put in. The more frequent the breaks become the more frequent they are required... If that makes sense?
*edit* funny thing, I just looked at Jamie B's Outfitting page and saw he used the same quick release method on his straps... I thought my idea was original! dam, there will always be someone who thinks of it first eh?
