Ok,

first, Please Delete my "UnChained" #4 suggestion.
or modify it to be:
"Unleashed, Unhooked, Unstrapped" .

**********************************************************
My Vote is for a Shuvit-180 of T-shirt idea # 5

" Free your Mind
and your Feet will follow"

**********************************************************

* The original # 5 had Feet > Mind
I'm suggesting Mind > Feet.

The reason WHY I chose this one...

1. Fact: Thoughts ALWAYS happen before everything else.
2. It bugs me a bit when people would say things that imply
that you''re only cool IF You...

Ride Slingshot
Ride North
Ride a "C" kite
Ride a "SLE"
Ride " Unhooked"
Wear shorts over your wetsuit,
Ride like me,
etc

or Imply that OTHER brands, styles are LAME.

Bottom line, that's all BS.

Cool is riding the Gear and the Style YOU want.
Any style or gear that puts a smile on YOUR face is ALL
that matters.

Just don't like the idea of implying that EVERYONE "SHOULD" ride strapless.
or that straps are Bad or Lame.

Riding skims and surfboards strapless ROCKS!
I agree 10000% Thats why I'm here! : )
Love this Site! Great job Lonnie!!!

Great feedback. Thank you. I have made the change to your submission.

Its funny you mentioned your comments about ridiculing other people's riding style, gear, etc because Todd and I were just talking about this. In fact it came up when he submitted his idea for "straps are lame". We have no intention of ultimately choosing a t-shirt that would be offensive to other peoples riding styles, e.g. using straps. I am not interesting in taking that stance with Lose the Straps, or belittling other people. I agree with your points 100%. Actually, I think we are just having a bit of fun here and joking about "straps are lame" or "straps are for bras", etc. Even if everyone voted for a somewhat negative t-shirt I could not accept it because it is not from a positive perspective. Keeping this forum positive and friendly has always been a cornerstone of how I manage and promote LTS, and it always will be. Nuff said! :!:

Great submissions guys! I have updated the poll with Kunta's, Rolavi's and SDC's new submissions. I also removed some that had gotten no votes at all. Keep in mind the poll is now reset so everyone needs to take 5 seconds and click on their favorite shirt.

I really like everyone's ideas, but I have to say, my new favorite is Rolavi's. That is really good. It got my vote!

Of course, as usual, SDC's, just made me laugh... :lol:

I would like to thank everyone that participated in the contest. There were some wonderfully, creative and funny contributions. Unfortunately, we did not get a clear winner from the voting so the LTS staff will choose the design. As soon as the design has been finalized I will show a preview of it here. If we end up using anyone's design that was posted here I will make sure a couple of free shirts head your way. Thanks again to everyone that contributed!

Well, maybe a little late but here is my contribution. I think "Lose the straps" is simply clear enough as a message and also promotes the site. I could easily throw in a tiny www. and a .com in there too. What do you guys think? There are two different design so it's just one of them that would go in the print.

One more. Just a design idea and not finished. It's a little unaligned.
