How do i tighten the footstraps on my board. I've got very small fett and they're not as snug as i would like them.

I got some white Dakine straps

Dont they have velcrow (cant spell) on them? There should be layer of the stuff. Undo it all and start from the bottom layer. You should be able to see your toes to have a snug fit. If you have them too loose you could end up breaking your foot, ankle or any other bone if you cant get your foot out

Yeah i thought that when my back foot is bouncing between the strap and board they may be a bit loose.

I've already hurt my foot once. Not anything serious. But bloody hurt. Got a big bruse and it swelled up a bit.

Theres velcrow (also not sure of spelling) on the top of the strap but i never looked underneith it. I'll go check it out now.

Think i worked it out not so sure. I just have to waity till the next time i take the board out of the rafters. Theres a couple layers of "velcrow" and i think i can pull them tighter. I'll try it next time.

Steve knows all about loose footstrapes. I dont know if he's had an xray yet but couldn't walk after crashing at high speed on Friday.

You lurking out there Steve - on sick pay hopefully.
