jeff what happened to black widow?

jeff what happened to black widow with the tow straps? does james ever ride it? i remember you posted some shots last year of him riding it but havent heard anything since?

Hey Sean, you can see the remains of it on my EPS Board thread and the Rocker Table. The insets for the rear strap were such that James couldn't get his foot back far enough. Then he grew So the front inserts were off. The concept was cool, but the implementation was pretty limited. I would guess you could change the inset around, but I didn't really want to pay for another board.

As an alternative, JL has pointed out the Shawk line - like velcro on the board and a pair of shoes...or like Jerry price says: It ain't surfing!

thats too bad

how bout just put some snowboard boots and bindings like they do for tow in surfing with the foil boards

or even a slide-adjustable strap with velcro so it can be adjusted by foot/shoe size and the slide would allow for a wider or narrower stance if it were adjustable from front to rear for both feet independently. sounds complicated tho huh?
