New arguments for the old discussion “Straps vs Strapless”

magnets, veclro..mega stick wax, track locking...! #wild guesses....

Are we doomed to use foot straps? And even for the pros, there are sitiuations that require foot straps.

No you're just doomed to getting better.

The only time you see pros use straps is if it's Robby Naish or they are surfing tow-in sized waves.

Racing/ foiling is a different argument.

You might want to look into some of the patents out there where people have tried things in this area before...there are quite a few for "inspiration". And you can see what never caught on.

Thank you NorCalNomad for your opinion!

I agree, we are doomed to get better, and this new system will allow to evolve in a continuos way from straps to strapless.

Yes, patent search is a required step in the creation of anything new. Not only for the reason you mentioned, but also to be aware of what it is protected, what it is free to be used and what can still be patented. Done that;)

You forgot about double side adhesive tape!

Thank you longwhitecloud for your curiosity, looking forward to show the new tecnology, but I can only do that when the time is right.

If it's magnets---its already been done and has been in testing for a couple of years.
Just learn to ride strapless.

I hope you are not going to infringe on my octo-skin TM octopus skin deck pad system!

Magnetic straps sound interesting, why haven’t that ever came to market?

That looks really cool. Did that got on anywhere in the world? Or was it just a dead end innovation?
