Kitesurfing footstrap

power - 1-12-2009 at 08:50 PM

I'm not exactly sure what the correct name for it is, but its basically the binding on a kitesurfing board. I'm currently putting together a ply board and need some bindings for it. The only thing that really matters is that they'll hug my feet and the board won't fall off when I jump. Anyone have any old ones lying around that they want to get rid of?

do you need deck pads too?

Yes those would be nice, easier than going out and finding the foam. You have anything rip?

Litewave straps on flea bay for $9.99/Dakine foot beds going for $19.99............I have the same LW straps on my monster plydoor....................you can also use cargo straps for next to nothing....................I have this on my smaller Plydoor with no footbeds................apply surf wax where your feet strap in and good to go................no purdy but functional...........................................:lol::lol::duh::duh:

If you find that whatever PADS you end up with are too stiff, I'd highly recommend some Liquid Force Luxury footpads. They are SUPER comfy. I've got them on 3 of my boards.

As far as price, found a pair of pads for only for $40 off a website a few weeks ago. A set of Lux pads AND straps can be had for ~$100.

The Flexifoil Asylum bindings are also very cush. I stepped in some at a kiteshop last weekend and they felt great. But, the straps are integrated into the pads, so you can't buy them separately. Also they are $129 :/

If you have some that are functional and you're willing to get rid of them, I'll pay for shipping:bigok:

Sorry man, not really looking to spend anything but money for shipping cost but if you have anything else just let me know.

Couldn't flip flops work for the pads? :yes:

That's actually not a bad idea for a last resort...
