Hi all,
I'm looking at buying my first board (secondhand) and was just wondering if I should check with the online seller what size the foot-straps are, or at what width they are fixed to the board?
Am I right in thinking the sizes of the straps might differ and I may need to get other straps for even more $?
Also, is the width of the foot straps fairly standard, or completely different depending on the rider or the board?
I'm a fairly short and stocky ~76kg and looking at a 2005 Underground FLX 132.
Cheers,
Diz
The foot straps themselves should be fine.Unless you have unusually small or large feet, they will probably fit.
I think the flx (mine does but its newer) has foot straps that the position can be changed. Just have to unscrew the allen key and change them around.
Im a size 10, and very rarely (like getting nailed by a wave) do my feet slide a little too far in. Not the whole way through, and it isnt uncomfortable, but just a pain. But it hardly EVER happens.
