first time strapless

Postby jlabat21 » Tue Aug 12, 2008 10:36 pm

I went kiteboarding for the first time this past sunday and rode on a skimboard and man it was a blast. (Ive kite landboarded before but this was my first attempt in the water). I thought about getting a twintip but then i found this forum and decided to get a strapless board instead and I am sure glad i did. No pictures this time but I am going again next weekend and will hopefully have some then.

Thanks for the great website and introducing me into this way of kiteboarding. :mrgreen:

Yo Jlabat21,

Welcome to the water and LTS! What can I say? If the site stoked you to go out strapless that is epic. Honestly, it is awesome to hear that you got your first board and it was a skimboard. :shock: That is a rarity and very cool. Please do post some pics in the show us what you got forum so we can see you ripping. If you need any help there are many of us here that will be glad to help you out.

Keep ripping strapless :twisted:

BTW - How did you find us?
