It all depends on what you like.
For strapless riding alot more of our tricks are going to be hooked in versus throwing straps on a surfboard (BLAH!)
For me, it all depends on the conditions. If it dead on shore and nukin, im gonna be hooked in all the time. If its side shore its way easier to unhook.
Ian Alldredge has some pretty cool ole's going on. Anybody have the link to the videos?
