again, slightly different perspective
if you are riding strapless and flailing around in the rotation because you can not stay on your board yet and messing it up for everyone behind you in the best spot on the wave, you are an a-hole and need to move someplace else to learn how to ride a wave
if you are doing the same with straps your are still an a-hole and the same thing holds true
i ride straps and strapless and am not advocating either one, just saying you are probably not one of the top riders in the world if you are reading this and need to be realistic about your abilities strapless,
if you are dragging for your board as often as riding it in busy break, think straps or move someplace else to learn and then welcome back
if it is a private, uncrowded break, anything goes, of course, but just because you think strapless is the only way to ride, don't mess up everyone else day
ride whatever you want, just try to be kind to the other riders
end of minor rant
