Good call J-Dogg! FYI - You'll probably want to get a larger board (138 or bigger depending on your size) with some good rocker. Throw your boots on your regular board and give them a shot. Once you're hooked on the "locked in" feeling (10 minutes into your first session or 1 second after your first...

This is a pretty informative, short video on boots vs. straps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSSKisOk2lo&feature=player_embedded A couple more things: - while it does take longer to put boots on, you'll never have to drag for your board again. - crashes can be a little tougher, but I feel like I la...

J-Dogg, Don't be scared of boots! I switched this year and will likely never go back to straps. I love the secure feeling that boots give me when kiting.

Amen brothers!!! I think it's hilarious how companies decide to advertise on this forum before updating their own freaking website. The Eclipse surge is a great example. Also funny to see companies have Toby make "new product announcements" and yet nothing on their websites. Some of the worst market...

Unless you want to drill some holes in your lunacy, I don't think you'll be able to get the unions to fit. Sorry mate!
