We need to get more kids to leave the straps behind.

I think that we need to start teaching more kids without straps. I nice large wake skate works great and gives them the chance to move their feet around. No straps first, then straps. Straps are great for jumping but other than that they are a bit over rated. Im not anti-strap, Im just saying there is way more room in the teaching arena for learning without straps. I NEVER use them to teach people to wake board. It always surprises them when they can get up and use the board just fine without straps.
