| + | If we really want to have fun with this, someone should mention using the foot straps as a leash attachment point. Then we can go over the variety of leashes again. :) | ||

| + | At the risk of someone's head exploding i will unite these two controversial topics: if the leash is attached to the foostrap, a simple tug on the leash lifts the strap to allow the feet to easily slide under after remounting. | ||

| + | Much easier said than done when remounting in windy choppy conditions……take one hand off of your paddle that you're using to stay upright, tug on the leash until it pulls out enough to slide your feet under. Hmmm, no thanks! | ||

| + | I make them for all my skis. 10 minutes and $3 worth of material. 5 mil Neoprene and 2" velcro. Here is a post I did a while ago for one of my custom touring ski's with a picture of the strap. I like a little thicker than obvious neoprene because it forces the strap to stay up (no tugging or fishing needed). | ||
