	Go to a shop and buy a new one... Given that a harness is the one piece of windsurf kit that will last you for years and years (provided you don't leave it on the beach) then I'd go buy one from new. That way to can ensure it's the right fit - Dakine for example come with a choice of 4 different sizes of spreader bar.. You're talking around 3 pints of beer a year (£10) for a new harness based on it lasting 7 years which is not unreasonable...Would you buy a second hand trap harness of ebay hoping it would fit ok?

	bit of a rant comming i did say that i cant afford a new one. i spent thousands on sailing kit custom harnesses, full offshore gear ect and windsurfing is just for when it is blowing, just trying to find some cheap kit

	What size board are you on atm? Surely if its windy you want a smaller board? When it's windy i'm only out on my 77L rather than my 104L. How much do you want to spend? I picked up my current harness for £40 new from funsport and it's lasted me 3 yrs so far. I'd say get in some shops, show some interest and get dealing (you can easilly knock off 20-40% of the price). If not you could talk nicely to GBR884 he'll probably do a good deal as he gets stuff dirt cheap from his sponser (...it works for me (being his brother) )! He has a 2008 JP freestyle 99Lt if your interested? Its a amazing board and going fairly cheap because he's getting some 2009 kit! Mark. Edited by Splosh
