Thanks Solent, hope you enjoy it! Ha didn't know you were local PonoBill. We've had a few people bring by the Maniac and said pretty much the same thing. Good idea to bend it out a bit, that's been a common problem as well for standard spreader bars, getting into a situation where you can't unhook. We are selling the 2in hooks on their own now. You can come by and grab one, just check our store hours and maybe give a call first. https://www.northshoreinc.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=571&idcategory=376

Here's a waist harness with an assortment of add on goodies:
That is a bit more of a waist leash than a harness. The feedback we are seeing is hooking in is ok on lighter days but quickly gets uncomfortable in anything beyond light and for more than 30 mins or so. We have a similar setup that we only recommend hooking with on lighter/shorter sessions which has a neoprene cover with doubled up webbing for a little additional padding and anti-twist. https://www.northshoreinc.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=533&idcategory=375 After being asked for the spreader bar as a hook only option for 2" webbing we are offering it now in case anyone was wondering. Hey PonoBill, we do get some decent surf here, 40+mph winds over water cook up some swell. Adding to the sketchyness is the addition of debris floating in the churny water. One of our guys went out in 40-50mph winds last week. Not double overhead or anything but intense nonetheless!

Gotcha, we'll have another look at that when things cool down around here. We were trying to keep it simple and retain the ability to slide the hook and not the whole harness around your body, which we would probably lose with hooks. The hook folds over so that might be good enough for some. Still seeing what everyone likes/values and will take it into consideration for V2. I haven't seen anyone else offering a spreader bar setup for Wing Foil that doesn't destroy your board, but soon enough I am sure haha

Hi all, just wanted to let everyone know we have a new product out looking to fix the need for a ding free spreader bar on a kite/windsurf harness. Uses 2" webbing, metal hooks and our updated 2" Wing Ding(Free) Hook. Made some improvements to the shape and edge/slot radiusing. Made fully in Hood River, hook machining and sewing. 3 lengths - 8", 10" and 12". Choose the longest that will fit with your harness in order to slide it to the side further. Also folds over if you don't want to deal with sliding it when paddling/popping up. Should be easy to see if it will work with your harness or not, anything with ratchets or cam locks may need some ingenuity. Will stop that metal spreader bar from beating the #@*% out of your board! What do you guys think? Lots more info and pics on the site: https://www.northshoreinc.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=570&idcategory=375

Got a fix for the buckle setup actually! Free to anyone who has purchased a harness from us. We've seen 1 failure at this point and it was in very cold water. No sewing and retains the adjustability of left or right hip with the excess strap going out to the side. PM me your name/address and I will get those out The best we can do for any attachment point failures at the moment is to include additional webbing slide loops, very sorry for that oversight. If anyone is in need please let me know through PM.

This was incredible for going upwind!! Both strong and weak side!! Even toeside once. Total game changer for me and my bad surgically repaired shoulders. Serious. I could drive home and sleep with no pain!
I didn’t unhook a few times and was launched while still attached. I didn’t pull a Pono (still chuckling picturing that fall lol) and still got it to release fairly easy.
Again, I have zero wind experience and this was my first ever harness and could attach on the first attempts. I’m on a Gong inflatable so don’t need to worry about beating up my gear... that said, the plastic buckle will not do major damage. 10/10 for my rating. It worked so well that I even went back to the NSI (Hood River) site and left a review. For real. 😁
Glad it worked out well for you! We might be offering a deeper hook sometime in the Summer. Thanks all for the feedback on the reinforcement, all harnesses being made now have much better reinforcement at the attachment points - a bonus to being made in the USA is that we can make these changes quickly! Got a new hook setup coming out soon btw...
