Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Tell that to the new sport "
kitesurfboard riding" created, and far more superior to standard kitesurfing.

i am wondering wether boots will be scored higher to straps because of the coreness and overall more skill involved?
Perhaps, wakestyler, but id go strapless if i were you, as we already know that scores higher. Besides, straps are for beginners???
Or if you do go with bindings, lets take it a step further and ride without a harness, and with no assistance from the kite (kites can go to and below 0% power, apparently...) That way we can try and conform our sport into one created many years ago. Who knows, we may even impress them...
