Installing the Foot Binding Straps:
The Foot Binding Straps are user replaceable and can easily be removed by disassembling
the Orca Body and removing the aluminum Foot Plate. To install new Binding Straps,
feed the straps through the strap slots in the foot plate and adjust as needed for a proper fit.
Strap Spacers are provided to shorten the effective length of the straps for smaller feet.
Once adjusted, screw the Foot Plate into the Internal Float. This action locks the Foot
Straps into position on the Foot Plate. YouTube video
