Just thought id give a quick review on the ladies straps from Liquid Force this year... They were tested on my 130 Aura and they look awesome with the sparkles and everything lol... The setup isnt as girly as i first thought.
The major difference between these and the Luxury Straps from last year is the size. They are actually quite a lot smaller! As they are designed with ladies feet in mind, i need them on the biggest setting possible, but what i found great is the fact that once your in, you can actually tighten them onto your foot REALLY tight. With them done up hard, i can't actually get my foot out without grabbing the board and pulling, No need for heel straps :D
The footbeds are comfy as, raised heel and toe sections keep you locked in and the board feeling smooth under your feet. They also brought back the Air pocket things in the heels of the pads. Not sure if these will compress like earlier years but they seem very comfy now... These are the best straps i've riden as of yet, nothing else came close to the holding power of bindings and i feel pretty secure in these...
They look good, feel good, work well and are pretty cheap. If you've got a foot smaller than size 9 then go grab a demo set, or have a spin on my setup at Sandgate...
Great to hear you love them Rhys. I'll have all other LF kites/boards for demo too on Saturday at our demo. Details in the events listing.
Shortly Saffer! We just got the boardshorts harness in this week. Looks awesome. A lot simpler then the DaKine ones which breaks far too easily though they are pretty comfy.
