Buy kiteboard bindings - straps & pads

Are you looking for bindings for your kiteboard? Here you can read what to pay attention to when buying kite bindings. At Telstar Surf, you will find a wide range of kite pads!

Did you make a nice and good decision about your board, you have stress again because of the large amount of kitesurf bindings that are available. The feeling you receive from your kiteboard is partly determined by the bindings on your kiteboard. The kite straps should fit snugly around your feet so that your kiteboard doesn't slip off your feet too quickly. So they need to be properly adjustable to set them up correctly. The kitesurf bindings need to have grip and especially good cushioning. Nowadays you see more and more straps that can be adjusted via two or more straps on your foot. But what should you really pay attention to when buying kiteboard bindings?

Differences between the kitesurf bindings

Each brand has developed its own kite binding. All bindings are made with a certain thought process. Because of this, every pad sits and falls just a little bit differently. Think of this:

• One kite binding is wider and the other is narrower.
• One binding has one kite strap that can be used to adjust the binding, another has two which gives you more adjustment options.
• The angle at which you can adjust your kite pads also differs per kite binding. One kite binding has more adjustment options than another. 

Everyone is different so the straps and pads will need to be adjusted differently for everyone. The more adjustment options there are, the easier it will be to adjust them for your feet!

What should I look for when buying your kite bindings? 

A kite binding consists of 2 different parts; a footpad and a kite strap. Together they form the kiteboarding binding.

• The footpad is designed for comfort. During kiteboarding a lot of forces affect your body, including your feet. The footpad is the part of the kite binding you stand on. With every jump and landing you make, your knees and feet take a lot of abuse. Kite pads actually help you with a bit of support, comfort and feeling with your board.
• To stay secure in your footpad, the straps were developed. The straps are attached over the instep of your foot. In many cases they can be adjusted using Velcro. More luxurious models can also be adjusted in width. This allows you to adjust the straps to your own preferences. The better the binding fits, the more board feel you will experience.
