[05]Riders and experts
Tested by people who ride.
While windsurfing in Cape Town, my foot got caught in the strap and I broke my metatarsal bone. I was out for six months. Switching to safety footstraps helped me overcome the fear of getting back into the straps.
I just had my first session of tow-in foiling back from a few weeks out with an ankle injury. The straps were outstanding! Stayed together taking off and towing around... broke in half when I needed them to.
The demands on performance and amateur sailors have increased extremely due to the new foiling technique of boats. High speeds produce rollovers and a tremendous amount of risk of injury. Ventores is entering the market at just the right time and will be crucial in helping to control these risks. The careers of many Olympic athletes can be made safer by this innovation!
The innovation in the footstrap sector by Ventores has the potential to reduce the current significant risk of injury in water sports and prevent numerous serious injuries.

How does the automatic release work?
Inside the footstrap is a spring-loaded release mechanism, similar in principle to a ski binding. During normal riding, the strap holds your foot firmly. The moment an overload occurs, for instance in a fall, the mechanism triggers and the strap opens. You control the trigger sensitivity with the included Allen key.
Is it compatible with my board?
The footstrap fits all standard boards and boats with one-screw-per-side footstrap mounts, such as windsurf boards, wingfoil boards, foiling catamarans and skiffs. Mounting screws and plates are not included.
Can I lock the footstrap so it never releases?
Yes. The opening mechanism can be fully locked, turning the strap into a conventional footstrap that never releases. Useful for freestyle sessions or to get familiar with the strap first.

Who is it not for?
The footstrap is not recommended for power freestyle, high jumps or aggressive wave loops. Use lock mode for those sessions: it then works exactly like a standard footstrap. Watersports are challenging and sometimes dangerous, so you can still get injured.
Is a leash a life-saving device?
No. A leash is not a rescue device and does not replace swimming ability, knowledge of the sea and currents, or common sense.
