There is a lot to the footbed and strap that misses the eye on first glance. The visual aspect is always important but it the technology behind what you see is ultimately far more imortant and that has had a huge amount of work.. for example;
- The IFS is made in a specific 3D CNC'd mould, shaped to your foot as opposed to a flat block of foam that is shaped by sanding. This construction allows very precise control and cost effective detailed moulding of the core materials.
- It uses three different density cores, which;
Shape compression areas, to ensure you always have reserve compression for extremely high impacts on already heavy loadings, saving both board and joint damage,
Support distribution loadings, to make sure the harder you push the more locked in your feet stay. Infcat, when the pad is loaded if pushes your foot further into the strap and pad to make sure you stay locked in.
Allow soft skin compression, which makes you foot nestle into position keeping the board on your feet during zero loading (ie jumping)
- It also uses a new technology of footstrap. The IFS pro strap core is a heat formed polyurethane molding much like a trainer base, but with far less density. Normal straps are made with solid flat material, shaped in plan shape but not in thickness or form. If you look closely at the IFS strap you will see the internal construction It's very advanced offering new technology in support, comfort and security. Now both upper and lower sections of the IFS base are specifically molded to wedge your foot in place
