I'm parawinging with a KT ginxu dragonfly V1 (the grey one) 88 L, 6'6 long and if i remember correctly its about 18'' large. Great board all around i love it. Only problem is standing up in big chop and no wind but thats okay, and the absence of footstraps : everytime i accelerate with the parawinging out (upwind mainly, sometimes reaching) past 20 knots, i am forced to go "nose down" to the extent that at some point my feet slide off the board.
I would like to find a way to put foostraps on that board but because its a supfoil board, it has no inserts. Maybe i can glue something, or drill it and place inserts ?
If someone had this problem and found a solution i'd be very grateful thanks !

That 3M VHB tape they use is crazy effective. A few pieces are holding a 200wh solar panel on the top of my van and it hasn't flinched over the last year or so of use

I think Duotone do a stick on pad with inserts.

Here is inserts I put in properly. Factory pad. why would you hack a hole in the pad on your new board and stick on something..?

I 3-D print these things and they are pretty good. I've done a bunch of boards and never had a problem. You do have to drill a hole in the board, but it takes a long screw and holds really well. It's not like one of the other inserts that you have to glass into the board. With a flange on top, you drill the hole and glue the flange onto the deck and the shaft into the board. I designed this to go with the standard self tapping screw that most people use, but I run a M6 tap ton them and use standard M6 screws which hold really well. I designed it so the screw takes the majority of the load, putting less pressure on the 3-D printed part. The thickness of the flange on the top is the same thickness as most traction pads so once you clear away the traction in that spot, the bump of the insert isn't much of an issue

I would honestly be really wary of having a professional do it. If you do make sure to get pics of the laminate and the board repair before that traction goes back over. I've had kiteboards with "professional box additions" And they just cut a hole in the laminate in the deck and didn't re-laminate over it, threw the pad over the mess and the board cracked immediately. Just make sure to ask for pictures documenting the process.
Another cool thing you can do which really doesn't help your resale value but it's pretty awesome for you. Is to get your foot straps exactly where you want them. Take a GoPro out and document where your feet are when riding and you can get straps that match your stance exactly. This is kind of optional for wing but is 100% essential for strapped prone, I was never able to get in the straps on a production prone board until I did my own straps and got them in exactly the right spot

Thank for the answers. I'm in France so i'll see what i can do
