Shinn Kitesurfing pads and straps

This is a review of the new pads and straps on the new Shinn kitesurfing boards. On first glance I thought these pads and straps were crap, after a quick dissing from Mr Shinn , it was quickly apparent that these simple looking pads were very far from it. This is a self mounding foam foot pad, your foot sinks in to the thick pad, and it quickly starts to mold around your foot, it is luxury. The pad feels soft enough to cushion your knees in harsh chop, but firm enough to give a direct feel to the board. The strap is good from about size 5 to size 12, with fast and easy adjustment, it seems a well designed strap, easy to slip your foot into, but as soon as you twist your foot at the slightest angle you are locked in. Maybe there should of been bright colors and stars and strips to bling these pads and straps up, to make them look a little more techy, but after slipping your foot in and riding out the first time, you will be very impressed.

Best Kahoona 2010

Just seen the latest pictures of the new Kahoona from Best , it again looks like a delta shaped kite, so giving that great low end grunt. There appears to be no center strut, giving the kite a nice light feel whilst in the air. The wing tips look like they may well of been beefed up. And if the colours are anything to go by it makes me wonder if all kites will be white, with just different colored graphic's.
