Pads (pillows, food straps)

< h2>Pads (pillows, food straps)

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the size of the bindings. Many manufacturers produce two or three sizes (ML-XL), this applies, as a rule, to expensive brands. Simpler manufacturers most often release one universal size.

Once you decide on the size, pay attention to the number of adjustments for width, height and angles. Kiteboard bindings have two parts: foot mat (pads/pads) and loop (footsraps/footsraps).

Pads and foot straps in kiteboard bindings

First let's talk about pads. Modern pads must be made using thermoforming technology. It is important that there is a protrusion under the toes on the mat, because when jumping you can hold the kiteboard with your fingers so that your foot does not jump out of the bindings. The height of the pads should not be small, as they act as shock absorbers when landing. A number of manufacturers include several heel inserts in the pads (soft, medium, hard) in the kit for the bindings.

Today, many kiteboard binding manufacturers use thermoforming technology, in which the pad is molded to the anatomy of the foot using body heat. This makes riding more comfortable, but requires individual use of kiteboards.
