I bought 2 of these foot hooks, for positioning and extra 'bracing' .. anyone have good experience how best to position them on the board? e.g. front hook facing backwards etc? Been searching for some images on the web but no luck.

I am a long time windsurf foot strap user .. but wing foiling kook .

Photo from Pilz WA profile, he makes these boards and I have 1.
I also have the same foot hooks you have however only use the front one.

I've used the ones in David's pic in a similar configuration for kitefoiling, they were good. They were not the Da Kine Cobras, they were Slingys and some people reported breaking them especially newbies who don't have the best board handling on land, in the water, and on the water. Try not to treat them as handles and they should probably hold up just fine.

hhh ... thanks for the 'not handles' tip .. was actually thinking of using them to hang my board off a rack in the garage
