Surf Talk Guru

I often get asked about installing foot straps on a surfboard. In order to turn a surfboard into a tow surfing board you must use foot strap insert boxes, these boxes run about $5 each and you either need 3 if you want to set the tow board up to go only one stance (goofy or regular) or 4 if you want the tow board to be set up both stances stances (goofy and regular) .

This is because the front foot needs 2 insert boxes since the foot strap is set up at an angle straddling the stringer. The back foot only needs one insert because the foot strap is set up parallel to the stringer.
