The shinnster is easy to learn strapless on. The low volume makes it float on your feet like a twintip when waterstarting. I almost never need to use my hands to position the board on my feet as I can float up to it with the kite and get going. I'm new to strapless and when I borrow an actually surfboard I find it much harder than my shinnster. I don't have any trouble using it in 25 knot plus wind and a smaller kite.
Within three months of regularly being strapless, all of your different devices will be easy to start on (different, but easy).
