How to Install NSI Stick-On Footstrap Inserts

Can I Use Stick-On Strap Inserts?

You love your board, but the board designers decided that it would be a strap-free zone and you'd really like to have the option of straps. Or maybe there aren't inserts at your preferred foot position. Now you can make your board fit your feet like it was custom made just for you.

NSI's stick-on footstraps inserts come in sets of 2 or 4, and screws are included. You'll need two stick-on inserts for each strap (one for each end of the strap), so be sure to pick up 2 for every strap position you want to set up. These work best on boards with a fairly flat surface where you'll be placing them.

How Do I Mount the Stick-On Inserts?

These inserts use a very sticky 3M adhesive, but it still needs a solid surface to stick to. If there's deck pad where you want to place your inserts, you'll need to carefully cut it away and clean up the board surface underneath so that it can mount directly to the board. Otherwise it'll tear away right in the middle of your best move ever.

Ryan shows where to cut away the deck pad.

Double check your strap placement and spacing, clean up the board, and then simply peel and stick the insert in place. Just like that, you're ready to add your straps and go ride!
