Quiet and micky, my concern is that if the boat capsizes you need your legs to fall free. I would strongly recommend one strap or the other but not both. These were made from old fin straps, extended with a bit of string, so there's a starting point.
Roadrunner - I considered that as well - but if I went that route I would make sure to carefully test them in a capsize scenario (supervised
) and determine whether this would be an issue under real conditions. I suppose ideally - the heel straps would only provide support and not force your feet up into the feet straps to the point that they would be there under force. Then again - if the feet straps really don't provide much gain in efficiency - just using the heel straps as you've indicated might be the easiest and safest way to go.
Also, I looked for the results of the Bay To Bay Kayak Race and was unable to find them? How did you do Roadrunner?
