Sometimes in wavekiting pics, it isn't always obvious if the kiter is riding strapless. (See above pic.) ^^^
lol.
If the rider is cranking a hard turn or slotted in the barrel, it's not always visible in the image.
Apparently some viewers are demanding to know if the board is unstrapped.
Maybe these types of pics should contain a little label located in the bottom righthand corner of the photo that reads as follows:
[unstrapped surfboard]
(This suggestion follows on from the recent controversy that's happening with surfing photography in popular surf mags.
I'm referring to stories and photos published in surf mags about surfers busting-out huge airs.
These aerial moves have been done with jet-ski assistance but that fact has not been mentioned on the pics or in the story.
The mags are passing it off as pure surfing.
They are pretending that the surfers paddled into the waves rather than being whipped by a jet-ski.)
