By the end of my session, my NSI ratchet foot straps are loose and maxed out (can't make them any tighter, which would be what I would want). I don't believe the foot straps are sliding in the track or that would make them tighter, not looser. I think it is the straps so I am looking for some better straps that might be comfy, snug and stay put. Any recommendations?

You can get little plastic spacers from Slingshot that are supposed to help solve the issue, but they didn't work for me. I ended up getting rid of the board.

When you're surfing the board they bend and flex in a natural way and permit you to angle your front foot for a natural riding position. I love having straps on my surfboards. Never tried the track system. Didn't make sense to me, so I didn't bite.
