I saw a directional on eBay just now that only had one strap on it (front strap) and it reminded me that I meant to try that out myself… Does anyone on the forum have any experience of riding one front strap on a directional? I would guess it would make Gybing much easier and that there wouldn’t really be that many down sides. You plant your back foot on the tailpad and enjoy the freedom of stomping the tail for big turns and bringing your foot forwards for cruising and unwinding… Sounds ideal . But why do you not see it?
Is this the missing link between strapped and strapless for the less accomplished kiter (like me!)?
