It "forces" you in a wide stance, with the back foot quite back. This enhance stability and reduce catapult risk.Ile à Duvalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234535147572941054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124426997314960696.post-36031204290531522212014-05-20T04:46:24.350-07:002014-05-20T04:46:24.350-07:00Trevor- Yes, I added the front footstraps.

They are very helpful both for riding the board at higher speeds and for giving you something to hold onto when you carry the board into and out of the water. So far I haven't felt much need for a back footstrap. The board is pretty stable with the twin-fin setup, and I think if it was so rough and windy that I needed a back strap I would just switch to a shortboard anyway.

Since it was offshore it was probably 20 in the gusts, and 7 in the lulls, which I didn't show in the video. I haven't specifically bothered Josh with my videos in case he might be offended that I hacked up the already-good board that his dad designed. But I wish I could bring the board up to Nahant and try it in the waves there because I think it could work real well in those.
