Back Pain /Meg Stand?

Micko · 7th June 2006, 12:31

Hey guys how many people are using the Narked 90 Stands on there Megs? And is it possible to post some pros and cons of the stand.

lots of pro's, cant think of a con except for buying it!
i had back pain too, and now i don't even on long dives. it moves the weight of the unit to your shoulders and butt, vs. lower back.
get one!

I got one on mine and love it. Makes it easier to get into and out. Sits on your butt and not your lower back. Has extra storage space underneath and a couple of places I can hook some reels to. Overall, great bang for the buck.

Yup totally agree with Mel on all points!

(Ok I may be slightly biased as I was the lab rat/guinea pig for the prototype, but having done a 2h 40m dive in Wast Water the other weekend I had not a bit of back pain

)

Mick, maybe if you stop farking round with cement your back might come good...

Mick Tate can sort you with a SS bend in no time....

Are you coming up to dive the Key Biscayne on Saturday

You need some practice on that Meg of yours.

Cheers

I have one and love it. I particularily like it for kitting up, and waiting to splash in. All the weight of the unit sits on the stand and not on my shoulders. It works out perfect for me.

I have 4 units available for sale, will fit a Meg or KISS Classic. If anyone would like one let me know. I had 15 units shipped to me from Narked@90 and only have four left. Everyone that has purchased one thinks they are great!!!!

Saw Mel's stand and it looked great. She did not have to bend down at all when gearing up. Get one.
