Footholds, which ones?

[brandonizr]

Did a search in multiple categories but couldn't find enough info.

I'm a rookie at surfriding and broke my toe this past weekend so now I'm out for 6 weeks, AHHH. I really need footholds...any advice for a RN SJ? I'm a size 10/10.5
Some pointers about the install would be helpful too.
Thanks

Do you have any friends with footholds in their skis ??? Bummer on that nasty big toe man. Are you wearing shoes ??? Before I started wearing shoes I did domething like that to one of my big ones also.

I'm wearing the thin, low cut slippery or jet pilot shoes, not sure which ones. I got a buddy with footholds but not sure which ones since he bought the ski with them already installed.

Alright, did some research, Kickers, Klowners or Cyclones?

Watercraft Factory has been the best I have found and tried.

bk have you put your foot in my holds?

Brandon- if you want 25 mm padding and large enough footholds that you run that pad and still be able to pad the top so you have cushion all the way around your foot you may want to check these out.

Very pleased with tom21 holds.

Brandon I am so sorry I dont know what I was thinking. Talk to tom21 call him he will hook you up, anything has, does, or sells I would put my money on.

Tom21 footholds are excellent, allowing for enough padding to custom shape/fit to your feet in your riding shoes.
The only downside is that they do stick out in to the tray quite a bit, but I will buy them again next time I need holds.
Another thought - don't make your decision based on price. $40 or $50 price difference will pale in comparison to the time and effort to install them, and the long term enjoyment of a really comfortable hold.

but the question is would you put your foot into it? lol

midlake makes an excellent point, you dont want to do this over anytime soon.

The install process is pretty intense...not really hard, but I had never done anything like that b4. So, we took our time.

Here's my install thread: (lots of pics)

Tom,
tried to PM you but "tom21 has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space." Let me know how I can proceed with an order from you.
Thanks
