Any ideas on who makes a specific big jump -high impact footpad (not strap )

For the times you dont quite get the kite timing right for the feather soft landings & its more like youve thrown yerself out of a two storey building

I have some Liquid force comp straps and pads which are doing an excellent job at making the landing softer, I think they have an air cussion or something like that under the heel.

That said I am looking at selling them because they hold my feet locked a bit too much in, which I find dangerous for situations when I want to ditch the board quickly.

I now use the normal Nobile ones, which are less comfy but easier to ditch... all about personal taste and trade-off.

i dont think you can go past the underground pads, excatly wh i got the for the big jumps that come down a bit hard , i suffer from getting sore heals and they are the best

i would just glue a pair of your brothers nike airs to your board problem solved

Horses for Courses - I'm a big fan of the North Foot pads.

Having said that I've seen a "certain some one" smash the crap out of the Light Wave foot pads - so I guess there ok too

^^bwahahahahahaa
how bout designing something that actually keeps your foot in during tricks......

I haven't tried any, but the new 2010 Naish straps look super comfy.
