Hi all
During hard crashes, (nose dive or caught an edge) my straps (ozone V1s) would have their Velcro tear open, Now that I am learning dark slides, every time my straps hit the water they pop open, I assume that's not normal, it's annoying anyways. Has anyone got any tips to try to prevent it.
thanks, Zigs

Had them and I never did like them as they felt to flexible and allowed my foot to twist too much, but after a few time of needing to put them back together on the water decided to go to my favorites Naish Apex. Maybe I was putting them together wrong I don't know.

Straps are straps

Boots are boots

Stop being kooks and ride boots

I had that with a 2nd hand pair of cabrinha h1, changed the footpad for naish apex and never had the problem again
