Thanks for the strapless vids. Popping off of chop at Sherman Island yesterday strapless (not even sure my fins cleared the water) was way more fun then boosting big on my twintip. Keep them coming!

Hey great videos.

If possible can you get some where you actually use the kite and go big? I've been doing the off the chop hops for years, but saw a fellow in the gorge last year getting some seriously big airs on a surf board and was wanting to do that, but can't seem to get the timing down to go big. He was obviously using the kite to get that kind of height, but it was super impressive to be going up 15-20 feet off the swell and in only about 20-25knots of wind.

Keep up coming. thanks,

j
