Every ski I have ridden with footholds I have hated. I have short arms so I just end up standing in front of them. If I was to put them in they would towards the front of the tray for me to be comfy in them which kinda defeats he purpose if they are not near the back of the tray. If I did anything I would mount straps in a surf stance. Or else glass in a one inch lip the length of the tray on both sides. I'm tall and built like a string bean so I do not need the extra width.
