Inserts for foot straps?
« on: October 16, 2018, 01:24:38 PM »
Having never put foot straps on a board, I was wondering what all the foot strap guys use for inserts into the board.  I was going to use stainless T-nuts but figured you guys would have a better alternative.  Thanks, in advance.

Use the North Shore Inc. glue on inserts.

Simple and work great.

If you're building or modifying a board then the Chinook inserts are excellent. Just remember that you are going to be standing on them and if you use the 5-hole, either reinforce the surrounding EPS with a cartridge or always keep screws in the end holes to keep deck flex from delamming them. Alex Aguerra alerted me to this problem and fix, I went home and checked my Jimmy Lewis 8'5" and found one of the insert bars slightly delammed at the last two holes (very slight leakage). Fat boy standing on them popped them loose from the board. I added screws to the ends of the bars and none of the holes now show any leakage

If you want to keep it simple the NSI stick-ons are awesome.
Foote 10'4X34", SIC 17.5 V1 hollow and an EPS one in Hood River. Foote 9'0" x 31", L41 8'8", 18' Speedboard, etc. etc.
