drill it plug it .

cant see how stick on could cope with the amount of forces.mo

Never pimped before but my mate is a driven and inventive farker and made these recently. Seems to possibly fit your needs.

He's making away to put them on standard boards at the moment.

not sure how to embed vid so will paste links.

I've had the NSI pads in the past and they stick well, but it is a shallow screw grab. The pair I had are not the go if you offset your FRONT foot strap as they have a ridge where the plate for the screws are, and so the board can't be comfortably paddle surfed. They are ok if you run both straps down the stringer. Smedg give me message if/when just the pads are available from your mate. I'd be keen to give them a go on a combo board.

We have been selling the NSI surf pads for a while now and they work well.

Just have to make sure you board is cleaned and no left over wax before you stick them on.

@ Greenfinger. I been using his lines for a while and rate them. The little pigtail extensions are also awesome. I do remember that he changed which lines he was selling very early on in the piece, can't remember why. So there is a small chance I've got different lines to you. Here is link to his website so you can ask him if you want. He only wants to be selling top quality stuff and puts it all through the paces thoroughly himself.

PS
I rode the 5' 9" carbon fibre surfboard breifly yesterday for the first time and loved it. Straps worked a treat. But, re reading initial post suggests Pan wants sick one ones I guess rather than touching the board or getting a new board. I just like that the advection straps don't require tools. They just seem like one of those designs that are soo good and work soo well mostly due to thinking outside the box and coming up with something new and really quite simple. Interested to hear others thoughts.

Before this thread I didn't know there was stick on footstaps tough enough for kiting. Who's tried the stick on ones? Any good?

Let us know what you end up getting and how well they go Pan.

Hey Pearl I mostly follow ya. email Darren from the link on his website if you want.

I'm no where near as good as him at design and practical and materials stuff. I kinda thought I was until I met him haha. I'm only good for judging finished products. haha. Assuming when you said 'your photo' you're talking about the vid of his I posted above. Yeah, the ones in the vid are definitely not stick on.

Also, you're talking deck grip, then layer of stuff to join straps to, then more deck grip with holes to get to previous layer right.? It would want to be nice and neat to not get high or bulky. You wouldn't want anything that felt like foot pads under your feet.

Guess thats kind of how some of the ones in other peoples links above work, and some of them look pretty good. This way would have more options for strap placement though.

By the time I next see him he will have thought about it all constantly for days and nights and made all different prototypes until something begins to meet his fussy standards. I got no idea what he'll come up with but I'll let ya know what happens.
