Subject: RE: Bootie Design/Make Ur Own?
The combination of bootie sole and deck pad, combined with neoprene types
(thickness and fabric type) on the bootie and strapcovers would make some
wide variances in how "stuck" a bootie is in the foot strapl.
Only major injury windsurfing I suffered was a broken foot suffered during a
bad landing from a jump. That was in my no booties days.
IMO I tend to fall out of the straps with booties more often than barefoot.

I think that bootie wearing contributes to broken ankles. I personally know
(and have also heard about) several people over the years who have broken
ankles while sailing, and to my knowledge, in every instance they were
wearing booties. You get those tacky bootie soles wedged in there over
non-skid or tacky jump pads, it gets tough to get your foot out.
Ken Poulton, founder of this illustrious group (wind_talk) broke his ankle
while wearing booties I believe... I'd be interested Ken if you think
wearing booties contributed to your accident.
I'll sacrifice the occasional cut foot and stubbed toe for better feel on
the board and for hopefully no big ankle problems...
