Yes

I'm trying to slim down to fit into the buggy. I was shoehorning myself into it 10 years ago.

Good luck with the harness and let us know how you got on.

Yeah, still old and fat. Blew my knee out 2.5 years ago trying to skateboard, had an ACL surgery and have been back in the water for about 18 months now... but only 6 months ago got back on the TT. Foil is low impact :D

Finally gave up my XXL Dakine Renegade and got an Ion Riot hardshell waist -- best thing I ever did. Works for foiling beautifully, but I partially dislocated my hip trying to TT with it. Yes I am a walking disaster zone...

Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
