Briskite have em for 220

Have you tried north Entity combos 2013-2014 if so any good??

By a mile the best strap pad combo I have ever used....

Lots of comfy padding underfoot and a wide strap which covers most of your foot this really helps with the locked in feel...the straps also have an elastic component so they hug your foot with even pressure as opposed to cutting off circulation like a very tight strap.

definately the pad and strap combo of the year and possibly the best to date!

Tried the NTT a few years back? This looks heavier...Plastic around inserts will make some damages on the board. North identified this as a problem and added some foam all around. Naish did not, sorry.

They look great tho.

PS

Different feel when loading, looks like more pop as well. But I still think anatomically NTT is better. Just look how straps are asymmetrically built for example. Water releases faster coz of channels, less velcro to catch some s..t on the river atm :(

I got the 134, best board/strap combo I have ever owned, took a little bit of dialling in with the wide tips, but love it now
