Thanks for helping us bigger folk choose the right gear! I'm 70" tall at 240lbs with a 38 waist, and I have difficulty bending over in the fusion style harness, making it hard to get my board on in a water start. I now use the 2016 Dakine Nitrous board shorts with built in seat harness that you reviewed, and I have no problem bending over as a result. I have 4 fractured vertebrae and was worried about the lack of back support, but after several yard sales and mistakes I haven't had any problems resulting from the lack of lower back support.
