After adding deck padding in front of the front foot straps (see pic) on my Goya Bolt and liking it, I am thinking of filling in the T-shaped area between the front and rear foot strap padding with deck padding to make a level surface so during foiling jibs my foot stays level and the surface stays the same. So I would cover "Bolt" and the board specs. What do you think?
I am bias as ride strapless and love a full deck pad. My new custom board does not even have foot strap plugs and a full deck pad behind the mast track.
I've done it on a formula board (used for foiling) instead of re doing the grip. I was surprised how good it is for the jibe or the high wind downwind.
Hess and Jusavina thanks, saw not sure if it was a good idea or not, but sounds like it is.
Have an Exocet RF, deck is fully padded from just behind the sail mast to rear of board, and from side to side, just like Hess has on his custom board and (I think) most foil specific boards like Slingshots. The RF also has a raised "spine" in middle of rear foot area to help give feedback on rear foot placement without looking down. Works well.
