Hi all,
I'd like to get new footstraps for my wife (size 4/5) but can't find anything reasonably priced that fits her feet.
I have been told, Liquid Force Bliss footstraps were good for women but the RRP is about 200$.
Same for the North Entity in size S. I have the NTT on another board, they are great, but 200$ for a pair of for footstraps is a bit overpriced IMO.
I used to make custom board with a mate and we always fitted Yeti's, B3 or ConceptX pads/straps on them.

www.b3proshop.com/en/
www.conceptxsports.com/article_en/13/3
These brands make awesome footstraps, very comfortable, lots of grip, cheap (straps + pads ~60$) and are highly adjustable (even for kids).
They would be perfect but I can't find them anymore, they don't seem to be available in Australia.
Am I wrong ? Does any shop stock them ?
Or do you recommend any other model for women ?
Thanks !
If you are in WA go see Phil at KSS scarboro, he has Sugarqube boards, and you can check out the Sugarqube straps there.They wiil adjust to quite small feet, only thing is that they are also quite firm, what I mean is that they may be too hard and not flex a lot if she has delicate skin
Cabrinha got both the sync's and the hydras in a smaller version.
The sync's can be made even smaller with a few adjustments.
Check with Daniel at kiteaddiction
I will check these out.
The hydra seems to be a good alternative.
Thanks a lot guys,
Maybe stating the obvious - but wear booties and use standard straps? Lot easier than buying special stuff all the time?
Or use windsurf straps which do adjust that small - but kiters seem to need fat soft straps for soem reason - as windsurf ones are so harsh on the feet as stated here before (
