Nice.

 

Where did you get the heel cup?

That's a Maha. $24.00 at Maherajah Water ski site.

@Gloersen I don’t want to offend you, but how sure are you that it really works or that it covers most of the possible shin hits? I think that you get shin cuts because when you release on a Reflex system your legs and especially your rear leg are free very close to the ski. As a result you can hit the release mechanism, the ski, toe block or the heel block on the boot, usually with the rear shin and sometimes with the front one or both and rarely with other parts of your body.

I have a friend that he used to release so often that had cuts on both shins all the time (reflex/RTP).

Anyway if it covers some of the possible shin hits, it’s a good thing to add.

I like it ...and my shin will really like it. Whats the Velcro strap for?

@Gloersen Switched from LFF to RFF?

Any video?

[skialex]

@Gloersen big respect for changing from LFF to RFF, it should be close to impossible.

[mmskiboat]

@Gloersen why did you switch to RFF?

[mmskiboat]

@Gloersen oh I see nothing to major just wanted to try something new.... all kidding aside congrats on trying the switch.

@Gloersen : First, gotta give my respect to anyone who can change from LFF to RFF- that had to be tough. Second, THANK YOU for this solution. I'm gonna try to copy it. What is your flap made of? I'm thinking of using a piece of binding material, but will that be too stiff? Anyway, even though it doesn't happen often, I'm sick of smacking my shin and appreciate the ides.

After two consecutive years of 8 stitches on my rear leg, I just use a spray sleeve with a soccer shin guard slid inside. Has worked great for the past several years.

Be interested to see video looks like it might catch water in the turns.
