wdym by stiffness?
I have my straps super loose and my feet dont touch the board lol

NP straps are horrible and stretchy , Dakine are slippery , JP and Starboard are just right.

I like mine made of leather. Just the right amount of sting. I don't think soft and squishy would work too well.


Oh wait..

I've recently bought a cheap secondhand board because it had 4 newish JP straps. Sold it with Dakaine straps . The things we do . Ps, JP straps are $30 a pop. Big bucks. That's if you can get them, which you can't.

I love my Simmer straps. Cheap, durable and very padded.
Being forced to run booties I absolutely tear through straps and these last the longest other than the starboard foam race ones which aren't suitable for waves.

Can I express my hatred of booties. They are great until, we'll never. I'll put up with my wife pulling out urchin spines with a tweezer twice a year . Walking in that nice fluffy sea grass until . In the last 3 years I got one razor clam slice, lucky for beer I didn't need stitches. Really should have got stitches . Booties are like rooting with a condom , not the same .
S'pose I'll re think my ways next time the wife's tweezers don't cut it and I'm in Queensland's finest emergency ward.

How about newer MFC;s?

Just tweaked mine as some were sagging. Although soft straps may felt more comfortable, I prefer stiffer so I can lean on them and have more control.

How about you?

Firmer = better control but wears my feet
