Yep . And I like my straps tight with just my toes sticking through .
I recycled the deck pad from another board , so the strap holes you see are not the actual holes in the board . They are in the inboard position to start with . Twin screws for the straps .
The pads will be a bit bigger and white when I next order a sheet.

It's there . In ghost form , on the front of the rocker that you can't see.

I even had the pleasure of a ride of the fkd, wow it was so easy/smooth to ride, it made my board feel horrible , a job very well done i'd say. Thumbs up.

Awesome I'd be happy if I could reach 30kt, never been able to get past 28. If your 115kg and the board is around 120L does it sink when you jump on or still float?

As long as I'm moving forward , even a little , its fine . Easy to jibe . Water and step starting , no problems . If I come to a complete stop it sinks to my knees but still steady underwater . I think that is because its quite wide . It would be tricky uphauling . Definite foot in front of mast when schlogging.
