Why choose Cabrinha 2014 Hydra Series footstraps?
Hydra footstraps
are all about personalisation. They're available in three sizes, two strap
styles and each set can be customised to suit your foot size, heel pad preference
and stance. They're high-quality, precision made kit, and are an excellent
choice for beginners and advanced kiteriders alike. All that, and they look
good too – they're available in a royal blue or a hot pink.
Hydra footstrap adjustment options
Tweaking your kit is key to creating a great
ride, giving you the control and grip you need without sacrificing your comfort
or safety. Hydra Series footstraps in the Cabrinha 2014 collection have
multiple adjustment points including:
- Velcro footstraps – tweak them to fit your feet
- Width adjustment – ideal if you sometimes kiteboard in booties
- Heel pad – choose from firm or soft
- Duck adjustments – personalise your stance
- Placement – set them forward or back on the board
H2 Hydra footstraps
The H2 Hydra Series footstraps are the most
customisable of the Cabrinha 2014 footstraps. They have two adjustable velcro
straps, allowing you more control over the fit of the board, plus all the
adjustment options listed above. The Hydra H2 footstrap is a backless binding
available in two sizes: small (under a UK size 8) and standard (UK size 8-16).
These are a great choice if you know what you want, and you demand top quality
and high levels of personalisation from your kit.
H1 Hydra Series footstraps
Simpler to use than the H2, the H1 Hydra
footstrap is a good choice for kiteboarders looking for control and comfort.
It's less adjustable but easier to set up, and still has the high-quality
finish we've come to expect from the Cabrinha 2014 collection. Like the H2, the
H1 Hydra Series footstrap is available in small and standard sizes and has a
multiple-density footbed and double toebar, designed to give you full control
and a great grip without giving your heels a hard time on landings.
H1 Siren footstraps
If you have small feet (under a UK size 8) and
you like hot pink, then this is the footstrap for you. Decidedly femme, the H1
Siren is aimed to complement their Siren range, and the colours certainly
match. Otherwise, this is a disappointing strap – limited size availability and
it seems to be an H1 Hydra with fewer adjustment options. While the Cabrinha
2014 collection has high quality overall, this is not their best strap.
