Finally some airtime

[bentone]

love my new bullet

[NICKYPOO]

Dope!

[Timmy!]

AWESOME! Is that the first time you've gotten air? Looks like a ton of fun! Someday I will get there!

[Fast1911]

That is really really cool

[Surfdad]

Sweet!

[bentone]

timmy, no, i have to admit, there are straps on the board. Being able to catch air was almost immediate. The more I ride it, the more I enjoy it, even pumping the wave is effortless.

[Timmy!]

wait - are you joking? Are there really straps on it?

[bentone]

no joke, they are a nerf style strap, Dakine I believe, the same straps as a wind surf board is what I have been told. Ill see if I can find a picture.

[Timmy!]

Makes sense that it would be easier if you are strapped to the board. What's the thinking there, you will learn how to do it strapped in and then remove the straps and you'll be airing it out? I know what straps you are talking about....

[bentone]

pretty much, or until I get bored with it

[Micah]

Nice air Dog. When are you coming to Denver to show us your mad skills?

[Timmy!]

Yeah, if you come out let's all try and meet up! That would be cool!

We've got an old Skurfer with loop straps. It's a bear to get up on but the boys have fun with it.

[Surfdad]

The Black Widow! We played with that back in '06. Great fun:

Those are the front half of the windsurfer straps. There is a heel strap also that I've never seen.

Two pictures, James back when he was 14 riding and also the straps themselves.

those are the ones, I grew up without much concrete or the ocean around to skate or surf, we had plenty of snow, so a board strapped to my feet feels second nature. It is amazing how far you can get back on the wave and still pump back up.
