foot straps

Board attachment points

Foot straps are bands or loops that secure the feet to equipment—surfboards, windsurfers, rowing machines, or ski bindings.

They keep the user connected during motion, allowing power transfer and control: Slide your feet into the foot straps before you start rowing.

On water sports boards, foot straps let riders stay attached through jumps and choppy conditions.
