Thanks for the post Vik, gets you pumped to kill it, that is for sure!!!
Just finishing a refit on my new $250 dollar camper, loading all the surf, paddle, skim boards, and doing a two week west coast to east coast going clockwise, trip here on the island.
Tell Mark and Mary that I will drag there Ski down in February. Christmas, we are going to stay in the camper down by the river!
Chris, That spot north of Columbia is amazing, will show you some pics!!!

Nice videos guys....keep 'em coming!
I'm sitting on a deck with Pasta getting our coffee on while watching the wind and waves building below us. Should be a good strapless day in La Ventana...

Wave riding in Australia (apologies if a repost)

PS originally posted the teaser, then found the full movie and changed the link. It turns out there's not much wave riding in it actually, more a travelogue. However, the scene in middle of blowing the slab wave, and trashing kite, is a little harsh....could have gone very badly.

A cool edit with some great riding in Norway.
He's wearing the Ocean Rodeo Soul drysuit for portions of the video.

Why not ride a strutless kite to you strapless riding
This video isn't completely off topic, considering it has some strapless riding in it.
Wave of the future in light wind capability

Cool thing about this video, you can see the kite for many of the rides, rather than just focusing on the big slashes....gives a better sense of what the kite is doing while you're riding down the line. Can see why drift is important.

This is the opposite of a strapless video. There's a thread on kiteforum.com about using twintips in surf, which the author is calling "dogstyle".

Some pretty radical moves. Seems to me strapless and strapped both offer fun possibilities.
