Straps...!!! 
hhhmmm, not sure if thats a good idea....Unless you were knee pads.
Besides, you probably need something bigger than your regular kiteboard straps....Forrest has a good idea, bike inner tubes...
what about brakes...?
Or pimped out wheels w/ chrome spinners...
yeahhh, that'll look cool....  |

ANyone remember making a "grab-handle" out of a garden hose...?
I bet this would work for a "loose" strap to slide a shoe under...

Maybe we should move the couch tomorrow and take advantage of the wind today - skatekiting...!!! |
I agree.
The couch can wait. Lets go kite and drink some beer!!!  
-Maybe the couch tomorrow? Or .......?
Shit, they are open until 8p.m. so we could always go after. |
Yeah, I like the go skatekite part/drink some beer...
The "we could always go after-to pick up a couch" can waite....
Understanding our priorities is very important...  Nice...! |

And Tony, Tucker and I will bring our Rangers out for you (they're like Machines, for skate kiting)!!!  |

| P.S. - What time is everyone heading out? I'm not doing shit today. Probably wanna spend a little bit trying to figure out a good kill/relaunch setup on the beach side first. |

Adam, I got a B4 that needs a sim. setup....I only got a regular 2-line setup on it...I would like to get a relaunch system setup on it...
I think I got some extra line I can bring w/.....Maybe if I see you, I can show you what I'm talk'n 'bout....
I get off at work at 3:30....have to get home to let the dog out/grab some extra line...so I guess I might be there about 4'ish...can only stay for a short while - i got committments w/ the GF tonight.... |

I can blow out of here around 3:30 or so. I need to borrow a board though 
I have to leave early as well, dinner plans this evening.
The kill launch system is pretty easy, small bridle and a third line is all you are going to need.
I'll see if I still have some extra line laying around and bring it out. |

I'm in Adam's situation, doing nothing today.
I can meet there anytime, just let me know when people are heading out.
Rangers!?!? 
I know Blake was talking about "mini" boosting, but damn.
I've got $5 to whoever can jump marine drive! |

I was thinking of a strap with little or no flex like a pair of flow bindings but with no backing at all!
You might be able to get by on just one strap also; just have a front foot strap only?
I am just thinking back to when i used to attach my old snowboard bindings to old skateboards in Wisco as a kid. It worked really well then i wonder what i will be able to dress up for the new school of skate-kiteing!
I am open to any more ideas!
Their is still a market to be tapped 
lets tapp it
