looking for (2-way symmetrical) footstraps
 
any body have an extra pair?
i want to use them on my surf board so i can ride it in both directions if need be...

I do, ( of course I do, I have everything and anything kiteboarding from the dawn of time ).

What surfboard did you finally end up getting Danny? Do you need to learn how to jibe that thing? its easy, just takes some practice.......

cool, so i can buy them from you next time i see you in about 2-3months :lol:
i have no problem riding toeside, but i cant water start toeside, thats why i want the 2-way straps,
let me know when you will be back up this way, or i could just paypal you and you could ship them in one of those paaded envolopes at the post office, that might be easier

and i ended up using my 6'2" surfboard, it will probably end up breaking but should be fun until it does :D then i might try to get me a newer directional, like a mutant or similar
thanx

You can also put 3 straps on it and learn to jibe, Old school man, Old School :o :D :lol:


However, if you really are committed to going toeside half the time and never jibe then you really don't need symetrical straps. Those you only need since you are put your feet in both ways ( sides ).
What your'er thinking you'll never have to switch your feet to the other side, right?

ive already got the mounting for two straps, it looks pretty cool, ive never ridden a surf board with a kite, but i love to surf, and i can ride the waves on a kiteboard, so im totally stoked about trying it on a surf board,
wheres the wind?????

It's a totally cool feeling transitioning on a wave esp with something specifically made for waves

inferno 08-18-2006 01:09 PM

the main reason im so stoked is because i now how two bow kites which will allow me to surf the wave with almost no pull from the kite what so ever, unlike my C-kites
can you ship them to me?

One of these days I'm gonna do a downwinder on my longboard and surf the rollers way outside... just waiting for the right day.
