 Reply to:     RE>>wings for singles

Hi Juha,

It is O.K. if George knows that you have bondage wings..... He will 
put a flame where the flame is due.......and so long as your wife knows
you are into bondage wings....

Yeah, alot of people see Georges way of rigging gear and instead of thinking
about the configuration he has established, they decry it immediatly as 
bad (different). I dive with a harness much like George's (with a few mods)
and am quite happy with it. Although it looks funny with a single....
