During 2 seasons the "rotating strap system" has been on the market, mainly for directionals. The system could be used for "mutants" too, but users asked for better pads.
Well further development lead to the "Dedicated TT version" with multilayer EVA pads. The new version also fits plug distances over 137 mm, which means all production TT boards.

And to all Australiens: We are so jealous about australien conditions, when you have wind. Winter is cold here, but at least we have wind ALL year.
Get out there and have fun. Any gear you like. Greetings from COLD HAWAII in Denmark.
The TT straps in use:
When I ride straps I find twisting my feet keeps me more secure to keep my feet in, without that I would fall out all the time.
And what happens when you get a little bit of sand under the pad.
Good idea but I don't think it would work out for me, without a solid footing I would have little control over the board
Earlier this summer a guy visited Mullalloo regularly and he had some home made rotating straps on his TT. I have not seen him since quite some time. I also know a person who has broken an ankle because he could not get the second foot quick enough out of the strap where a rotating strap would help.
Also I can imaging that with long downwinders when you do a lot of toeside riding this is a lot easier on the legs.
However it looks to me that the actual strap is pretty far forward and not more over the center of the foot; I guess good for booties but maybe not as good for bare feet.
Still .. would be interesting to test them on a TT. I have a second TT which I could use for that ... If they have decent shipping cost I might order a set to try out ... I love gadgets ..

Certainly there are merits with both straps...
Its great to know some people are really thinking about improvement - It was once a stoopid idea to fly
