If you look at their animation showing foot strap locations it actually shows one with the front strap across the board. That seems like a very interesting but definitely weird configuration. I wonder if anyone has actually played with that?
Sure, but it needs a bit more finesse. I put some effort into liking such a setup, but gave up before I got comfortable. Might have something to do with the foils I used at that time. I then changed to a more offset strap configuration instead (the second picture, both the front and the back strap are offset) and was happy and felt at home right away, and have used such a stance (either when riding with straps or without) with many boards afterwards.
But apparently the pro's are using such a setup (front foot in the center of the board) quite a bit.

Manufacturers please offer lighter colour variations for people who live in areas with very strong sunshine, the darker colours just burn up
