Integrated Footbed System
The Integrated Footbed System (IFS), combining comfort and functionality, is now into its third year.

Assemblycouldn’t be easier – choose your stance and screw them in –
it’s as simple as that. The screws are already mounted in the pads,
unlike conventional
systems where you need to squeeze your pad so the screw from the strap
can reach the thread! Furthermore, by building the pad and strap into
one
unit the ability for the straps to twist at their fixation points has
been eliminated.
Conventional straps are hinged on just one side for adjustment,
which might be OK for the average foot, but when adjusted for smaller or
bigger feet, the shape of the strap, so carefully designed for your comfort,
can distort. The vertical adjustment of the IFS ensures that whatever
size the strap is adjusted to, the geometry of the strap, (and
therefore comfort), remains the same, meaning everyone gets to enjoy a smooth ride.
Available with Standard IFS black/white or IFS Pro yellow or black footpads.(+£20
// IFS PRO
// IFS PRO
Introduced in 2009, the innovative and well-received IFS PRO has been
further improved for 2010 and continues to raise the standard of
board/rider connection to new levels of comfort.
The IFS Pro is the world’s only triple-density, molded pad resulting in
a foot bed system where the compression “ramps up” through its depth of
travel. Heavy impacts sees each layer becoming progressively firmer,
preventing any possibility of your foot coming into contact with the
board, yet maintains the direct feeling needed between the rider and
the board when on the water.
Comfort however mustn’t be at the expense of function and the
ergonomically formed IFS PRO features an in-board cant leading from the
heel down to the toe, ensuring that upon impact, your foot is held
securely into the strap with little chance of it slipping dangerously
out of it. Featured on the front edge, the multi-ridged toe strip helps
with grip, whatever your foot size, and the molded Polyurethane texture
under the heel provides traction in all conditions.
For 2010 they increased the width of the integrated foot strap to
further enhance foot grip and comfort. With no exposed webbing or hard
materials to create friction rubs on your feet, the vertical adjustment
has been increased to ensure a wider range of fits for all foot sizes.
Finally, in the further application of the Nobile Human Concept they
have coloured the straps and pads in a distinctive, high visibility
Yellow to enable riders to easier locate lost boards should they become
separated.
The IFS Pro continues to guarantee that every ride is a pleasure with
unparalleled levels of comfort working hand in hand with function.
