There is a new footstrap about to hit the shops by the 20th jan designed for surfing. Google search predatorsurf and have a look.

Cool straps, the most important thing is still getting them in the right spot on the board.
I have been amazed at the amount of guys getting straps put on their board by so called professionals who dont have a clue where they should go.
99% of riders will have their back foot over or slightly foward of the front fins on a thruster, no further back

with these straps you can have the back strap forward of your surfing position and then move your foot back in a natural action to surf the tail. The insert system allows the rider to choose their own position.

These new Predator Surf Straps are sensational for kiting in the waves - instead of kiting near the waves like everyone does, you can actually surf the waves, and pull the same fast turns, cut backs, re-entries and airs like a surfer does. Unlike conventional straps, Predator straps let you move your feet anywhere on the board to control your speed and turns - rather than being stuck in one spot. They're super soft and comfortable too! I've had a play with them at Wanda and Maroubra - can't praise the Predators enough. Can't wait for them to reach the shops - hopefully Kitepower will have a couple 'o hundred pairs in stock. PREDATOR SURF STRAPS - BUY SOME AND TELL YOUR MATES

Can these footstraps be mounted on existing plugs that I have my closed straps mounted in?

hi Blownaway, next week ARwakensurf will have them in stock at Tweed and Coolangatta and Darcy Surfboards at Currumbin will also have them.
Sambo the strap is designed to fit on the centre line(stringer) of surfboards and requires two screw holes 20 - 25 centres. If you want to know more pm me and I will give you my phone#.

I checked with D'arcy Surfboards yesterday, the straps are not in as yet. Apparently there is more tooling to be done, and they won't be in for a couple weeks yet.

Hi Sambo Straps were sent to AR wakensurf today. All tooling has been finished and if Darcy would answer his phone I could get an order off to him too. Ring Motti he should have them by the weekend. Straps started being sent out yesterday and now they can be got online if your local store does not stock them.

There will be two boards set up with the straps at the nationals in Port Maquarie for people to ride. After that I will be heading to the Gold coast for a week. So if you want to try them drop me a line.
