[quote="wt fanatic"]what footstraps do you use on your wavetray?[/quote]
NSI "koch" wide straps - non adjustable type
Bump and Jump adjustable
Flying Objects adjustable
Dakine contours
This is in order of volume we sell. Can't get the B and J straps, so we got hold of even better Flying Objects ones, which look to be more strongly made, hold your foot better (most important), and even more important they come in leopard print!!
But Underground are developing their own strap, we have had some proto's to try and everyone says they are the best, so maybe hang out for them?

Wipika asymetrical on dakine contour pads, great stuff, really hard to lose the board now
They were the right price too, 20 euro for the pads and 18 (I think) for the straps.
The straps are pretty stiff, not soft like others. I stuck the dakine pads on top of the stock square pads, feels good.
I put this settup on all three boards so I have the same feel whatever I'm on

The new Airush adjustable straps beat them all.

dwight,
are those the foot straps that are on the airush web site mountedd on their wake plate antibindings. Are they stiffer or softer that dakine's.
Also has anyone tried deeper but shorter span fins on their wave trays..so insead of the stock 40mms something like a TFC 50mm that looks about 2 cm shorter in span...wonder how different that would feel.. It looks roughly the same total area just a different shape.

I did use once shorter and longer fins. I didn't like it at all. I got really hard to go into Switch...it is not a Tray anymore. I am usulally riding it with 35mm fins.

The 5cm MFC fins I put on the heelside are great, sort of a pointed half moon. They're 1.5 cm deeper than the stock fins and shorter, about the same area I'd guess.
With slightly longer fins on the heelside the board tracks great
