got a new directional wave board delivered with stick on un-attached pads for foot straps. So what is the best way to make sure they are stuck down in the right place. I am guessing once their stuck , then their stuck for good. There are a few holes for final tweaking.
I am 6' tall with broad shoulders, approx 90Kg's. (the winter coat is coming off over the next few months).
Please advise
Cheers
I'll try and post a couple of pic's

Put a little wax on it and ride it unstrapped, and make suer you have dirty feet. Clean all wax off and stick down in your correct positioning

I like where you're coming from, but if I could ride un-strapped, I wouldn't need the straps in the first place.
It's the age old question, as a friend recently commented "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
