SupremeDeityWhat about the sick layering? How can you look like a ninja in a onesie?
The also make two-pieces for those layering inclined, although you would need some gore-tex tees to prevent moisture creeping up on u through your sick laying.
I've found that using candles and a lighter is no substitute for a ptex gun. I've never had a gun repair rip out but I've lost a couple candle drip repairs over the years. It's often worth investing in a gun, especially if you were skiing anywhere out west this season...

.Rybak.are you able to use a hot glue gun with ptex?
I'm not sure, a cheap one may not get hot enough. I don't know the difference in melting point. But the real benefit of a ptex gun is the special tip which allows you to not only spread the ptex but also get it deep in the gouge
I bought everything, but a single toepiece is all I needed as a temporary replacement for my busted Pivot.
My poles also got broken, so might as well upgrade now instead of when I get my touring setup done.

I might try a run at making my own tho. I think itd be a dool little project
Laurent.Get the old vintage Nikon straps for which I do not know the product code, I use them on everything from leica's to hasselblad's to Konica's.
They are simply divine.
Bonus points if they have blood stains from a war photographer on them.
If you try and make one it will look like shit, it will fall apart, and you will feel dumb. Unless maybe if you have sufficient sewing skills and can get the right hardware. I made the mistake of trying to make one
I like the Canon ones from my Eos rebel from the 90's. It has a similar type of strap to the one laurent posted, the strap is like a seatbelt but make from tightly woven cotton threads, it's not too stiff or scratchy like a lot of new straps and it has no metal fittings unlike laurent's which I prefer.

i would rather have the metal fittings. I hate my canon strap i currently have. Shit's SO annoying to take on and off.
If i wasn't shooting on a canon i'd go with the nikon one..but i mean idk i guess i could go with that.
You're right tho it prolly would end up looking like shit.
Maybe i'll just drop the bones and buy the treefort one
Today I went and bought this used for a very good price, so stoked I didn't have to buy it new because that always seems like such a waste of money:
And because I finally got an extension that fitted this mast I rigged up the sail I posted a few pages back and got in the mail this monday. Now I just need a smaller fin and I'm ready for some good wave surfing, might go out and pick that up tomorrow.
