I think we call all agree that a trick pulled off wit commitment, power & style will score highest, kitesurfing needs a lot more time to mature. straps on a surfboard is fine if the waves require it or we start doing high powered tricks in huge waves that take surfing to the next level instead of just playing catchup to try and look like surfing with a kite.
That being said if you can ride a surfboard with straps in a surf event why not allow directionals and twintips also?
Most people do this sport for fun and ride the way they want to ride. Who are we to judge how other people should be riding.
WOW,
Good to see you guys have put so much time, effort and passion into this topic.

So, regardless of strapped or unstrapped riding, KBM will be there to give you all the details as they happen!!! Carry On…

"In a world where flyboarders fight about who is sightly less wrong than the other, Rob Schneider discovers that just like himself, kiteboarding was really sthuper gay all along!!!"
Rob Schneider is... A gay Kitebworder!!! (rated PG 13eeeeeennnn).
in all seriousness its like compairing trials bike rideing to motocross the former has a certain skill and furnesse the latter has to but is more fly by the seat of your pants (unless surfing 8ft+ same as the latter ) both use a bike . surfing and kiteing both use a board, are not the same sport i personaly like haveing the option of pulling the bar in to get myself out of trouble with or without the board ithink its been said before kitesurfing is like tow is surfing behind a helecopter but keep that to yourself
