Tony of TNR designs has another batch (the last one) of foot stops. I think he now has 24 of these left. Tony and I designed this footstop after the 2002 Worlds in Morro Bay after my foot slid forward after the ramp start on every one of my runs in the final 4.
My first attempt at a footstop after Morro 2002 was to put a seismic baseplate on the top of my board. It worked pretty good but was way too tall and trapped my foot if I wanted step off in the middle of a run. It also had no adjustment fore and aft. Over the next couple of years Tony and I worked on several prototypes. The current design completely fits the bill for adjustability, easy step out, and safety (no sharp edges on top of the board).
For me and my riding style, front foot placement relative to the front wheels is critical for optimum pump. Even with 40 grit griptape, my foot will slide forward when pumping at maximum if I don't have a foot-stop.
These are CNC'd from billet aluminum - durable and light.
No, I don't get a dime for any of the sales. Just a plug for a good product that has helped me get much faster on a slalom board.
