yeah, the stock fuse pads suuuuuuck. I liked the luxury straps but they were soo soft the made my feet ache sometime. I really dig the crazy fly footpads and the newer ones seem even nicer.

Pepi has a couple different kinds as I remember it.

The fuse is directional so if you want to ride it left/right foot forward you have to find some symetrical pads/straps to replace.

I put the Caution footpads on my Fuse, and they work great. Super cushy.

If you jump the board at all which is not only fun, but unavoidable at times in the surf, then the skimpy stock pads will hurt your feet. I immediately switched to thicker asymmetrical pads and straps. Made a huge difference in comfort and control.

The only thing that would make that pic any better is if the board was a pickle sticker!!LOL

Thanks for all of the information! There are so many pads out there, but I'm leaning towards the Hein at NSI.

Man I'll tell you the rpm is a real boost machine! I liked to jump, but this kite puts a whole new level on top of my limit. I swear I was getting more air than any other kite on a 12 at the spot with basic flat water.

This summer is going to a high flying adventure for sure! My kit right now is 8,10,12 and soon to be 14 rpm's.

Le shizzle my nizzle Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

It looks like it was made from an old broom stick. Now that is legit!
