Hey oliver I think I know what your problem is....It's the straps...they vibrate.
Some straps do it more than others..and it also depends on the wind.
Sometimes they're fine and you turn into a headwind and they drone and vibrate like crazy.
Notice this pic of JB's boards..Notice the twist in the straps.
Just one twist should be enough..also boards with concaves (like the Naish) do it worse.
Let me know it this fixes it..
