RIP velcro and EVA Foam.

I have always felt inferior to strapless kiters on surfboards.

They use their skill to navigate the waves, whilst I'd rely on straps as a krutch to make the most of surf conditions.

Last night I took a long hard look at myself, I said is this who I really want to be?

I took a screwdriver to my surfboard and detached my straps.

Im allready starting to feel better about myself.

Keep the board and stick the rest in the bin

^^^^and fit wheels, mast and sail to it and go faster than you have ever been.

US Military Special Ops guys have ditched VELCRO too. Gone back to buttons.
When they need to be super super quiet, opening a velcro pocket can kind of give themselves away! Buttons don't make any noise!
