Today we cover one of the issues that stops beginners from progressing into the intermediate level quickly and smoothly - GETTING INTO THE FOOTSTRAPS:
To easily get in the footstaps:
1. Place them as close to the middle of the board as possible
2. Find a flatwater spot
3. Hook in the harness lines and get planning
4. Go slightly downwind and increase your speed
5. Put your weight on the harness and on the boom
5.1 Slide your front foot as close to the footstrap as possible
6. Step into the front footstrap
7. Stabilise, go downwind and get more speed
8. Slide your back foot so that you can touch and feel the back footstrap
9. Slide your back foot in the footstrap

Such a good point about the footstrap positioning, certainly a lot easier with inboard straps 😃

Will there soon be a video for plaining and getting the board to fly. I would really find that interesting. But I think your videos are really good I really enjoy them... Looking forward for more:-)

Hi. Great content. Always looking forward yours freeride clincs. My main issue is when I get into the front footstrap I kind of kill the planning momentum. Maybe because the board starts pushing upwind and I struggle to keep it from turning into the wind. Maybe, as suggested I just need to let go downwind and simply gain more speed before going for the first strap.

I use to start with rear bootstrap first. Is it wrong, or some slalom riders do so also?

Well it’s a personal thing. As mention here I always put my Backfoot first in the footstraps. Then hook in

My biggest problem is that when I come out of a jibe and I am fully powered up on slalom gear I find I have to turn up wind to take the pressure off of my back foot to get in the foot strap ,otherwise I get a spray of water that catches my back foot when I got for it, often meaning I miss the strap and end up standing behind it, or miss the board completely and crash. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong ?

Is there any reason to put the front foot first into the footstraps... I always put my backfoot first and its much easier for me.

Could do instructions for feet in footstraps first then hook in? I always go for footstraps first after gibing, but when I try to do it from water/beach start, my technique is a bit messy. Best regards 👍😃

How to slip into the foostraps with GUSTY wind

@gingersoul6 3 жыл бұрын

Everytime I try to put my feet in the footstraps, the board luff until I head to the wind. It fells like I have too much weight on the windward of the board so the board shreds the water tending to go upwind. So my back foot tend to stay in the middle of the board to balance the board and go faster. My posture even changes and changes to something stupid like I'm sitting under the harness which I know I should not do that. So that's how I cannot put my feet in the footstaps :)
