Can't really tell at the start, you might be right. But his jump at 1:45...definitely strapless.

Scotland and Peru. Both redonkulous in their own ways.

Rebstock must have velcro booties.

The break in Peru looks so good it is just stupid.

WOW - Ian's harness is a frayed rope and regular hardware store caribeaner. there might be a realease mechanism above that. sketchy is right. here is another one with great wave rides and aerial spins by Airton Corrizon. Looks like Maui?

Pretty sure that's a DIY version of a sliding harness hook, like the Dynabar or DaKine Slider. There's a bunch of forum posts out there about how to make your own...for example, this thread page 2
http://www.kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php? ... 98f3a9edd8

I have a dynabar one and have tried the DaKine (sold it to ToesideT). If you ride waves hooked in, a sliding hook is super ... hips can turn independent of kite, much more freedom of movement in doing quick turns.

But the modern trend is towards riding waves unhooked....where a sliding bar doesn't help. Plus, with slider, it's harder to hook back in. Or so I have read!
