It is not easy, but worth mastering the skill, as it separates the men from the boys.

Try to keep the kite low, because when you bring it up the kite will often lift you off your board.

it's fun, it looks really nice when someone who knows it rides, but it is just another style of riding..just like strapped, TT or whatever you feel like riding today....I guess the only thing it separates you from is more money for another board...but well worth it for sure...of course you can get a board that can be ridden both strapped and strapless.
