28/29 Jan sounds great. I agree with Darren - put the $$$ into the social side and keep it fun. Be good to see if WAKSA could get a couple of Surfing WA judges to build a stronger relationship between the two sports.

Sure it's more difficult to ride strapless and unhooked... just like it's more difficult for a surfer to take off switch. But if you're not getting the turns, none of that matters f%$k all.

But if you are getting the turns in I think it does matter,
If some one on a S/board strapless and unhooked can smack a lip as hard as someone riding a twin tip, IMO it is simply harder and should be rewarded - Dont know how you could judge this fairly though??

A guy can win a heat, who looks worse, and does less powerful moves because because he is choosing to ride unstrapped and unhooked.

Found 4ft Cott on monday night in 20 to 25 knots limiting on my un strapped 6-6, so pulled out the old twin tip and had tthe kite of the year with only 1 other kite out and 15 windsurfers.

25knots and 6ft Tombies is what sold me on strapless.
Best kitesurfing I have ever seen.
It was 5 times over Stuie Martins head (2 or 3 over anyone elses) and the guys were tearing it to pieces.

I'm guessing the windsurfers weren't riding strapless on that day, Shannon ?
The off-the-lip is a bit tricky un-connected.
