I was down on the beach at Margaret River and noticed a lot of Strapless boards out there I thought I should see some good turns with this method. I was wrong nothing but sla****is. Slash's on the shoulder look **** people put your straps on and hit the ****en lip for ****'s sake. NO LIP AVOIDANCE !!!!

I got myself an awesome new North Pro-Series surf board thanks to Darren at AKS but are having numerous debates with my hubby about using the straps. He hid the straps from me and said I had to go strapless ;)

I went out yesterday and did a fun downwinder but I felt like a gumby without straps. Got worked a few times because I cant turn like im used to. I know that I will get used to it eventually but is it really worth the effort when i can just go out with straps and have a great time..

Whats your view on this!!!!!

Cheers
