Steve, you really need to keep better track of your different logins. Quoting yourself and agreeing with yourself is really quite funny. Are you that stubborn that even when no one agrees with you, you try to create your own personalities to agree with you?
You need to read more carefully, User was quoting Waveslave.
You also need to raise the BAR on your ethics, you have stooped to accusing me of having multiple logins, without any proof, or backing. The Mods can tell you that User does not = Kitepower Australia(steve)

The reality is kiteboarding already has a definition for a strap and a binding
The sport is barely 12 years old, it is still emerging, and defining its products, 3 years ago the terms "Bow", "Hybrid", "SLE" did not exist.
The reality is that you are not in charge of Naming, and your status as a Naming Police person is withdrawn, for improper naming and illogical use of logic!

, there is no blurring of the terms and Cabrinha are only ****ing things up by trying to blur them for their own publicity purposes.
Cabrinha are market leaders and maybe your brand is a follower?
Cabrinha's and your fav brands sole purpose is to use publicity for the purpose of informing you and the rest of us of what they have to sell, and what they are calling NEW things, like the Sync BINDINGS.

Where the term emulates from is totally irrelevant.
Inappropriate and grammatically incorrect use of the verb, emulate. The Naming Police have been informed.

Boots are colloquial terms for bindings, just like foot hooks are colloquial terms for straps, but straps and bindings are not the same thing in a kiteboarding context, much the same as c kites and bow kites are completely different.
You've disrgraced the Naming Department Saffer
