I don't know if I want to try to make one for someone else. But I might for myself. How do you make them Ken? Can you post a pic and describe materials and process?

: It was just the ticket for my Mariner Max. I didn't have any back problem
: before I installed it ... but I did have knee pain, caused by wailing on
: the pegs to get decent back support when I had my Rapid Pulse installed.

: But ... when I tried an NSI in my Outer Island it didn't work very well. The
: aft deck of the OI is low so the back band functions more as a butt band.
: The problem I had was that when doing lay backs, the articulation of the
: ratchet attachment caused the back band to slip down in position and it
: ended up at an angle that gave very poor support.

: Now, I just make my own backbands.
