1. 4-line kite (started with two lines)
2. Microloop
And then actually not changing the game...kept doing why I started the sport.

True. Losing the straps, a game changer indeed. Put the fun back into the kiting game for me.

Short leash. Whenever I see a beginner or anyone who does not unhook with a long leash attached to the back of their harness I just shake my head. The short leash should be the standard and the long leash the option.

Foil. Going upwind easily and having carvy fun in light wind when otherwise I'd be slogging around doing nothing at all and swearing at the wind.
