dude just get foot holds. the wider stance you will get makes things much better. I have the REVs and love them.
what about the footstraps.. I wont be jumping on the ocean or anything...
unless you are totally set on flatwater "freestyle" straps are great..it you like carving around and jumping off wakes and stuff they are the way to go(mount em in surfstance)...if your goal in life is to do a flatwater br then yea footwells are a must but for the average rider straps are alot easier, cheaper and teach better riding techinques for the recreational rider
and if you ever go in the surf you are all ready!
I used to ride surf stance all the time. I made myself ride with both feet back and its way better for most stuff. In surf stance I was along for the ride. with both feet back I really have a lot more control of the ski.

Get footholds!! I bought my first SJ this year too! And my cyclones and mat kit just arrived!!! I"m scared as hell! But I'm doin it!
ha...still im in the air.. 95 % of the time im estimating i will be on lake water. i do not see myself doing barrel rolls or backflips.. but stabs, subs etc... the more easier tricks to learn, ill get to doing.
can someone clarify to me surf stance ? ? there no one my lake that rides standsup but i bump into people that used to ride the 440s years ago..
is surf, left foot forward face straight. and right foot back straight..or should i let my feet face to the right like cruising a skateboard..
most of the time i ride i have feet in the back...
thanks wydopen..
if anyone has pics of their foot straps installed, can you post please.. that would be HELPFUL..
you guys are the bomb !
i may consider putting footholds in still, will have to think about it over the next month..before i take the ski out.
Just wanted to say I"m about 90% done with my hold install.. It hasn't been that difficult, just labor intensive (alot of sanding) But you can totally do it. I've just been askin questions as I go! All I got left is to glass over the holds and lay my mat!
I"m excited, I'm hoping these help me to learn new stuff!!! No more pushing out on the sides to get grip with my feet!
