Strapless foilboarding!

Postby cynbad » Thu Mar 11, 2010 9:10 pm

Ok.... it's kinda strange, but we had this board sitting in the garage for about 6 years collecting dust. It was mounted up with K2 Clicker bindings, and our snowboard boots were all rotten from the Baja climate. Kiting with it took two extra people to drag my butt into the water, get into the bindings, and hand me a pre-launched kite, so it was a major hassle as well as serious cramp fest. Anyways, it is totally fun! Like floating on a cloud, all quite and smooth even in the roughest chop! I have one strap in the middle of the board (a gandle) to carry it.

ha! That looks like it requires skills! Almost like walking on a tight rope!
Way cooler than being cemented to the board tho! 8)

Very cool, thanks for posting.
I always wanted to try one of these boards.
And I always wondered if it was possible to ride one strapless, thanks for answering that question.
