I just became aware of the noboard, seems captures the essence of this forum, but on snow:
http://www.noboard.ca/
I injured my knee snowboarding almost a decade ago and it still hurts to hang a snowboard off my leg when on the chairlift. I've given up snowboarding from that reason, but took on snowkiting instead. The noboard bindings have me excited about chairlift snowboarding again, strapless .
Growing up we used to put inner tubes around the deck and trucks of our skateboards. It would allow us to do strapless airs without having to ollie.
It seems like putting a bungee onto a strapless kiteboard, like the noboard, might make the learning curve of new tricks easier.
You could use something like a nsi stick on foot pad insert for the nose/tail, then use a bungee leash (available from a boating store) and be good to go.
What do you guys think?
This video is longwinded but got a chuckle out of me, and worth a view:
p.s. I just found a used placebo surfskate and I'm giddy.
