Kitesurf Bindings & Pads
Check out our full range of Kitesurfing Pads and Straps, as well as boots at our kitesurf shop down in Poole S2AS. Looking for a new set of pads? You're in the right place! Most of our boots we stock are equipped with a Intuition Liner. The Intuition Liner in the boot means the inside will actually mold to the shape of your foot over a period of 3 or 4 2 hour sessions, which in turn means the boot will be custom molded to your foot. Alternatively, if you wanted to speed the process up, pop down to the shop, and we can get our Heat Mold Machine out! If you need anymore info, give us a call on 01202 738448, and we'd be more than happy to help!
