Even if you are an experienced kite surfer, you will soon find out that riding a directional wave board involves new techniques and sensations that make this discipline so unique and addictive.
Strapless, or with straps, we have a setup to suit you. We also stock freestyle directional boards.
To ride Strapless or with Foot straps?
Straps Advantages
- Easier to keep the board on your feet going over broken waves
- The board stays on your feet when you launch off a wave crest
- The board stays on your feet if you get lofted or fly the kite high
- Easier to do a water start. The footstraps enable you to position and attach the board on your feet.
Straps Disadvantages
-
Reduces the positions you can place your feet
-
Makes jibing more difficult
-
Riding with one foot in the front strap and the rear foot out when going upwind increases the risk of a twisting knee injury to your leading knee if you have a bad crash
-
It can be difficult to relocate your rear foot in the strap when you are setting up for a wave, particularly when riding toeside.
-
You can place your feet in the optimum position for both surfing waves and going upwind
-
You can move your feet easily without having to put them in or take them out of foot straps
-
Your board cannot damage your knees or ankles by twisting them
Strapless Disadvantages
-
If you fly your kite high, launch of a wave lip or broken white water, you will come off the board
-
Water starts are more difficult until you learn the technique to perfect them
-
When you wipeout your board is loose in the waves and can collide with and injure you
