Call Kitepower (02 9529 6894). I'm not sure if they are in their online catalogue but they are in the shop.

Have been looking at getting some too. What about the new model, how different is it ?
Also heard they could break, is that right ? Any experience ?

Hey Guys,

I have been using NSI Kling ON foot hook on the front of my kite surfboard, really works well only problem is after a while your little toe gets a bit worked if you ride against it but this could be sorted out by repositioning it.

They are so much more cheaper than predators and do the same job.

You can get them from ARSA kiteboarding at around 40 bucks for two.

Check them out.

Cheers
Rich

Predator strap are great in that you can still move your feet around when you want to - helps heaps in cranking turns - but the strap tongue is like a great big lever that puts heaps of pressure on your plugs and they quickly pulled the plugs out of my board. I've since put bigger plugs in the board and done my best to make sure that they are well secured to the stringer and the top and bottom glass. I also moved the plugs forward as the wide base of the Predator straps means that when they are mounted in the foot strap plugs the foot position of the Predator straps is actually further back than the foot straps would be.

Just a couple of things to consider. What I got out of that was the board really needed to be set up specifically for the Predator straps. Once that's done they're excellent.

I haven't tried the Predator glue on pads, which would solve the problem if they actually stuck on good enough
