Does anyone get that insecure feeling in waves and gusty conditions when sat on the wings? I just feel I need toe straps or hoops/loops to put my feet in, akin to windsurfers perhaps? I'd love to hear of any examples of such modifications. Cheers Ashley |

Yup! I push my feet against the side of the hull when it's really gusty. I wear sandals that have a pretty sticky sole. |

Yes, my feet slip very often. I generally sail bare footed. Windsurfing straps might be too confining as I stand/sit fore and aft depending on the wind, seas etc. A strap would be nice. Have to attach it without leaking... |

Maybe use the hiking straps sewn onto the tramp, if your legs are long enough? I always feel pretty secure when I'm driving, with the tiller in one hand, and the main sheet in the other. As a passenger, I tend to hang onto a shroud, if I'm not climbing around with the GoPro, taking pictures and video. |

Id have to be 7 or 8ft tall to reach the trampoline toe straps from the wings! |
