First tow-foil with Ventores safety footstraps after a few weeks out of the water. (Foot got stuck in a normal strap in a pretty light wipeout)

Worked really well! Solid enought for take offs and towing around and broke / split when needed and didn't feel any tension through my ankle at all.

Prett easy to reconnect the strap in the water and I am sure it will get easier as they soften up and I learn the technique.

Agree with Hilly unless you plan on doing back flips no point in straps for towing . I've seen some hideous injuries from straps on foils .

Thanks Piros, seen really bad injuries and had a pretty mild one in the scheme of things.

A pretty good solution for those who like straps.

P.S. You wanna to see my backflips...
