In the interest of keeping current on where we are at, I just sent this letter to Amy Carter at Boards Windsurfing Magazine:
Hello Amy,
What a coincidence that Boards is choosing July to focus on innovation in windsurfing!
My company Disruptive Wind is just about to sell off some foreign patent applications in one of the most unique fund raising ideas ever. See "Australia For Sale" at www.disruptivewind.com.
The invention has been granted a very powerful patent by the USA #8,870,615 Dynamic Foot Repositioning Systems. The international patent is PCT/US14/30556.
Basically the idea is that you have only 2 feet, so why do we use multiple foot straps that must be exited and re-entered during the most critical times? My system uses a pair of sliding "footdecks" that allow you to be attached to the board continually during gybes and other maneuvers. You can even have your feet side by side! Great freedom of movement when you want it and security when you need it. Simply un-weight the feet to move them along the tracks.
See the video "3 Mile" https://youtu.be/VIxJ1OoN5g0 to see this in action. There are more videos on my You Tube channel (Peter Schulz) and elsewhere, plus we are busily working on a new video that we hope to release soon called "Worst Gybe Ever?" that should create a stir. Also, I see the need for a better "sales pitch" video so that is on our busy to do list as well.
I am the "Crazy Inventor Guy" who posted a teaser video "92 seconds" on your forum thread "Step v Strap" (page 2 Technique thread contents, page 8, post #55)) as part of a market study. We have been very secretive during product development but have recently decided to "go public' in order to raise funds as well as to put pressure on some companies we hope to make a deal with. Have fun checking on me, my company, and this exciting new innovation! I look forward to hearing from you and seeing what you choose to share with the world. Thanks, Peter Schulz
P.S. Ever heard of Wyatt Miller or Phil at Horue? These are some of the folks "in the know".

We will probably do this by offering these as "perks" in a crowdfunding campaign, probably through Indieagogo. To my knowledge, patent applications have NEVER been sold in this manner.

This innovation will have the most initial impact on the windsurfing industry.

Have a safe weekend!
thanks for getting in touch, this sounds awesome!
I’ve ccd Adrian in here, who’s in charge of equipment and testing, and Lukasz who looks after the sales accounts - i.e. figuring out deals with companies that would like promotion through the magazine. I’ll check out the product a little more and hopefully these guys can also let you know what we could look to do for you and how we could arrange this,
thanks a lot,
Amy
