HELLO ALL.
As I really hurt myself way back in 2008 due to tight foot straps,spraining both ankels, I searched for a solution.
I cut some old normal kite board straps in half. added aluminum to make them stiffer and tested.
I AM JUST LEARNING ONLY UP TO ABOUT 40 METERS OR SO.
They seemed to prove he idea but were to flexable!
I completely by chance found factory made half straps called FOOT HOOKS BY NOBILE, dense foam L shaped.
For me now PERFECT understand I have no reference!
I have enough contact with the foot hooks to be able to pull up the t bar to water start position, my feet are in the same place on the board each time,
BUT AGAIN ,MAYBE JUST FOR ME , MAYBE ONLY NOW , IT WORKS GREAT, CRASH , FEET FREE!!
If anyone would like a photo jst let me know
