Want to know what the most comfiest straps for a surfbaord are.
I use some old cabrinha adjustables

And whilst they are alright they dig in a bit and there have to be other comfier ones out there.

Also my deck padding (surftech) is lifting. What is the best glue to stick the sucker back with?

I've used plain old clear silicon to glue back down lifting bits of my tail pad. Seems to work a treat!

3M Super 77, comes in a spray can awsome stuff

My guess is there's probably some really god wind surfing ones out there

Contact adhesive 3m Spray 77 delaminates in the sun, but is bloody sticky. You could try 3m Spray 90 which is heat resistant. I would just use some contact adhesive like Sellys Quickgrip or the other stuff bunnings has in a tin, glues anything, is cheap, and heat resistant :-)

hmmmm never had that issue. I'll have to put it to the test. If the super 90 is anything like the 77 it should do a good job though

I like the symmetrical footstraps from catapult. Their deck grip is good to; more dense to give you're board a bit more dent resisitance. I also have the liquid force luxury strap which are the most spongy; but I personally find them a bit too soft for surfing.

This is the dogs nuts. Stuck fast. Then i smeared a thin film of silicone around the edges to plug those tiny gaps.
If this pad lifts i'll be amazed

I used this stuff about 4 years ago on a flappy footpad, and it shows no sign of budging
