How are you strapless guys!

Do a super basic trick - film it - claim it!

98% of the time after a trick you bow kite riders fall off the plane and lose your surfboard!

No fluidity in your session. Looks stupid.

Then spend most your precious water time tea bagging and body dragging back to your board.

Get over strapless claiming, awkward riding is not impressive.

Hey, ease up on the red thumbs for Lovely. That's his most coherent post yet, by far. You may continue to disagree with him, but throw him a bone for improved sentence structure and an effort at sequentially developed argumentation.

Disclaimer: I ride bridled C kites, with straps, on a wakestyle twintip, so I may or may not have a clue what I'm talking about.

Better not to comment on something you know nothing about

Butt dipping and awkward poo stance is worth filming in the strapless world.

If youre not falling off then you are not trying hard enough.

Harden up and fall in the water more often. The water wont hurt like concrete.

I agree.
Dojo could explain the technical properties of water when butt dipping at 50 knots.

Check this out, you take out the word "strapless" and it just sounds like waveriding in general. Don't think that guys with straps are any different, because they are not, it's all the same crud.

Must have been at least 0.1, because you cared enough to tell us.

Notice its only the strapless wanabe surfers(but lack the skills to actually surf) that rant on about how cool they are without straps. Bahh Haaa Ha Ha
Think they need to just go out and enjoy it and not worry about what others think of what they are doing. BECAUSE NO-ONE REALLY GIVES A SH!T.

If I want to ride a wave like a surfer,,,,I go for a surf.
Not kite strapless and pretend Im surfing.
The surfers are laughing at you.
