I have a custom wave board that doesn't have any options for the width of the strap (i.e distance between the fixing screws).

I have narrow feet so in my production board I like to run my straps one hole "tighter" than standard.

The current Dakine straps I have on the custom have these little plastic mouldings at each end that rule out the use of the usual "offset washer" style of narrowing the straps, also, the board is setup for two screws per end rather than the single central one at each end, and I've never seen a two hole offset washer.

Has anyone come across a brand or model of footstrap that provides good width adjustability "built in" to the footstrap, or failing that, any other hack I could use to run my straps a bit narrower?

Hi ,from memory I think you can spin the plastic moulding around as the hole is slightly off set to one side.

Unfortunately on these ones, the plastic moulding is actually the base of the inner strap itself so it can't be reversed.

The newer JP straps have the offset plastic moulding and twin screw holes at each end. Also come with torx head screws which are a good thing

Also the older duotone (pre 2025? Not the pro straps) straps do as well. I think fanatic have 4 holes on each side if my memory is right, but hard to track down

Yes my ones where like this but you can pull the top part from the bottom and spin it around , it just slides over the plastic pins.
