I would like to make a foot hook for kite foiling and my board has only single holes in line.
Any ideas how to make a simple hook so I can test if it will work for me?
You can make one from a yoga block. Cheap, easy to make and work with. Met some peps who had them on their surfboards. Dont know if that will serve your purpose on your kite foil?
Steal a chopping board from the kitchen
cut with drop saw or jigsaw
sand edges
drill mounting holes
put in vice.
Heat with heat gun.
bend into shape
cut up an old wet suit to make it comfortable
install. job done. 
No glue. Two holes were drilled into foam block to pick up foot strap holes in board. Then step drilled from top to fit washer size. Block / foot hook was then just screwed to board.
Pretty sure I remember reading on here there guy who made the Predator hooks still had some, even very recently...
Slingshot just came out with some too, might work out cheaper than NSI

Still got a few left, PM me if you want some. Years ago I offered this to both the above companies and they weren't interested, strapless was the future I was told, yet lots of the words in their blurb were in my proposal. Both those products look like the prototype I made about 12 yrs ago. Both have built in the same flaws into their design as I did. The new ones I have made delete the problem of tearing inserts out, much more streamlined just need $$$ and time to make another go of it.
