Hey guys-
A while back the forum inspired me to get to work on a ply board, and its finally time to get it finished up. The hard part is done, just need some
advice on foot straps and/or pads. I'm going to pass on making my own, but I don't want to drop $100 on a set.
Any thoughts on a decent set at a good price. All the deals Ive found seem to be on sketchy websites, or sketchy ebay stores.
Thanks

try changing your topic to "does anyone know where I can get CHEAP footstraps / pads?" and be open to the better homemade ideas you'll get.
also the DIY threads on some sites have good info.
I don't ATB, can't help you further...

I've heard that the Spleene pads/straps can be bought seperately and they are really nice. Not sure how much they cost though. I hope you find what
you are looking for.

spleen are gonna be top self a bit much for ply board
but liquid force has a good selection reasonable price
low buck on ebay is gonna fit the bill and out come
my advice find some flip flops that feel good maybe strap shoes /wide webbing/ neoprene for comfort throw it together ride it ,
skim board deck pad sheets, is a good start really don't need straps but there are lots of less expensive set ups for 100 bucks.

Well, you can always remove the spleene pads and use them again later when you get another board. Just dont glue them down. :D

SOFKA member Mel George (mgatc) found a source for bindings and fins in Jacksonville, FL for his ply boards. Shoot him U2U if we don't hear.

get whatever straps you want as long as they are adjustable. but if you can afford it. I highly recommend these pads.
they are the same as what is on the new flyboards
PHREERIDER - 20-8-2009 at 11:18 AM
both those are perfect
Ocean rodeo are super cushy just tried a board few weeks back that had OR set and they are nice may even get a set right now
the ebay hook is supreme for the money hard to beat

thanks for the help guys. Definitely keeping my eye on the ebay link, but the OR pards are the go to after that.
