Looking to put some footstraps/loops on my Contender.

Personal choice thing, i like having them.

Any recommendations on good ones ?

And more importantantly how should i appy then.

Drill/screw them to the deck as seems to be the normal option? however the idea of putting holes in the deck scares me somewhat.

Or glue to the deck? my dad sells the stuff so can find a suitable glue that could do the job.

I'm using some of the strap on Shock Foot loops on my 600 and have been really impressed, they are quite simple but stay really rigid so you can get your foot in easily.
