Definetly look into strapless if you want to not go as "full on". A thruster also helps here. Strapless really limits you and helps you stick within the confines of prone surfing while kiting. And it is way easier on your body.Peter_Frank wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 10:30 pmHa haa, dont go into the strapless hype, it is bull for many riders and locations....
You can take it easy with a quad and straps, but you actually won't have the limits. Very quickly you will be doing things you could never do while prone surfing. And you will realize that having a wider performance envelope with straps and a quad, will demand more from your body.
To each thier own......or rather - sort through the hype for yourself.
