NEW: the EVA and neoprene padded inserts can now be bought seperately as spare parts to exchange if it is worn or to swap between EVA and neoprene between summer (Neoprene to have more grip without shoes) and winter (EVA with shoes)
This is our new innovative strap: light, ergonomical, adjustable, durable, demountable. The straps have a thick soft padding inside but are pretty sturdy outside which will not collapse.
For boards with double foot strap screw mounting, they can be set up symmetrical for the back strap or asymmetrical/ergonomical for the front straps. See here for mounting instructions for the asymmetrical foot strap set up.
Needs to be mounted with 2 foot strap screw plates.
For travelling, the straps do not have to be unscrewed from the board, you can remove the padded part and fold the webbing parts flat on the board. See the mounting instructions
We now offer the Witchcraft strap with a Neoprene cover as well for those who prefer the feel of Neoprene. The Neoprene offers more grip when sailing bare footed so the risk of feet coming out unintentionally during aerial maneuvers is reduced. The padded inserts of the straps are now also available separately – in either neoprene or EVA. This allows you to replace only the inner part when it’s worn out, without having to replace the entire strap. You can also switch between them depending on the season: neoprene for better grip in summer, EVA for comfort with shoes in winter.
The EVA straps are trimmable to make them narrower or shorter using a sharp cutter knife or can even be sanded.
The EVA strap weighs 106gr and the Neoprene variant 120gr.
The EVA straps are more durable than the Neoprene straps.

For boards with a single screw mount, it is advised to use stainless steel plates for strength. Either the original plates from the board, the stainless steel plates available in our webshop or order the anti twist plates from S4LT.
