Why Magic Marine?
I've since many years Da Kine straps on my windsurfboards and since three years on my cat.

They are perfect. Be sure to buy the adjustable ones.

In Holland they are the best sold trademark for footstraps.


Simply put, they're too tight even with the adjustment. I can adjust them to fit but I still have to wiggle my shoe in. They are certainly comfortable and work great but I don't feel confident that I can get my foot out if something were to go horribly wrong (like what happened in the video). I'll post a picture of the ones I have now on my F18 tonight.


Flipped the 20 years ago training for a Worrell and if my foot hadn't come out of my shoe it woulda been ugly. Righted the boat and the shoe was still in the footstrap. The kind of shoes or boots plays a role in this also, but I agree with Jake the DaKines are made for bare feet and are pretty snug. Although it's what I've always used out of availability.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
