Video is from 5 years ago From just the video, this looks fantastic Thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee3tz4GHNhs&feature=youtu.be bigjohn Since 13 Mar 2012 663 Posts Addicted Mon Jan 03, 22 8:58 pm    Re: New old foot strap idea WindSki wrote: Anyone tried this new / old foot strap idea?

Not a foiler's perspective... That seems backwards to me. I want my straps firm and loose; Not soft and tight. That being said I have seen people experimenting with similar ideas... Perhaps there is a reason the concept never really hit mainstream _________________ Kiting starts at 40MPH Nak Since 19 May 2005 4280 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Mon Jan 03, 22 9:35 pm     I think the half strap or foot hooks--which I believe were Jim Stringfellow's idea?--pretty much killed the strap shown in the video. sfbomber Since 27 Jun 2012 114 Posts Stoked Sun Jan 16, 22 9:58 am     I like the concept. I made my own foot hooks when I took up hydrofoiling, standard foot straps are much too danderous. If you have have some old foot straps, this looks like a simple mod, which may prevent a bone snap or soft tissue injury.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
