After discussing the topic of strapped riding with lots of guys who ride both strapless and unstrapped it seems that most of us are embracing the strapless style and we can't get over the fact that strapped guys just have no skill at riding waves and at positioning themselves on the board -
In fact I love the fact that my strappless board actually rides waves - it makes the whole waveriding thing feel so much more positive - adding to the art of waveriding - If you have any pictures of ass bogging through a wave with straps on, share them here!

Personally I prefer kiteless surfing. All you guys that use kites look so gay with your poo stance and never actually riding in the pocket.
When will you understand that you are not really surfing so why bother?
That is like the cleanest wave I have seen for a while -
How cool is the bar/ Its nearly as long as the board
Great pic find Rowdy!!!
We should start a post for historic photos
what?!? No-one's whinged about having a leg rope when riding a kite without depower?!?! Quick, this topic should be blocked - someone might get the wrong idea and get us all banned!!!!

Where are the safety police when you need them!
... who gives a flying f@ck wheather your strapped or unstrapped, if a dudes happy ridin' then he's happy ridin'.
I don't get why people get into such a cat flap over it. Isn't this kiting caper ment to be fun so who cares how you do it, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! 
Me thinks this thread was started to stir up sh!t!!!!
How unusual!! 
I was also actually surprised by the cleanness of that wave! haha.
p.s. More people should get angry.
The only way to ride waves in Perth is with a kite, no wind no waves, period.
Bring on the Wind.

Legit?
Dear Rowdy,
You are smart,beautiful and a gift to human kind.
Sincerely,
Now that your ego was rubed can you go back to your bedroom, ring your mother and tell her that you have been a naughty boy again advertising your intolerance on public forums.
She will tell you it is okay and will send you hugs and a kisses.
You will feel better.
now I know what i look like
