I demoed one of these and was pretty inpressed with everything except the pads and straps....

I know they're supposed to be the bees knees, but I ride with the LF pads and straps and would want to put them on. The shop owner reckons that the strap system is unique and that it would be tough to put anything else on.

Anyone out there changed the straps??

Cheers for any replies

Thanks for the reply...I'd love to hear how you go with the LF pads.

Last years boards - No
This years boards - Yes
Last years boards had a unique hole pattern and were closer together than all other board.
You will have trouble fitting LF Luxury pads and straps to last years boards.

This should put your mind at rest. My pads arrived and although they were a bitch to put on (an issue with the fact that they were new and stiff, not compatibility) the holes do line up at a couple of different angles so you can put them on.

Here are some shots





P.s. send me a PM if you want to find out the trick to putting them on, only worked out halfway through the first pad and that made it a lot quicker.

Actually, you can set them up a number of ways. I originally set it up like that but I now have them more square. There were a couple of line up options so depending how it goes on the water I may shift the angle again. The originals grav-d's were too square for me. This is how the LF straps look now which is probably more what you wanted.



This is the best way I found to do the straps. Screw them in like this and then twist them around after they are screwed in. Given the fact that you own a shop, you've probably worked this out a long time ago, I do straps once every couple of years.
