Hi Folks,
This is just a quick hello from us at Shark Seating. We are a suspension seat manufacturer based in New Zealand and have been supplying seats for military/professional and recreational users for 6 years now.
We specialize in Jockey seating and focus on increasing the performance of these seats while reducing the price, to enable more people to use them and avoid injury. Our aim is to produce the highest performance seats available, at a lower price, with a focus on simple design principles, and modern high volume manufacturing processes (such as injection molding).
There is plenty of information on the website, and I will post some brief information and photos here as well. There is also a video (attached to this post) from a customer showing the difference between standing and sitting on his boat
Some brief info about the seats:
