Strapless Snowkiting With Lib-Tech Snowskate


Finally jumped on the go-pro wagon. made my first video using the YouTube editor.
The creation tool seems easy to use and self explanatory.



Enjoy,

Thanks,
I appreciate the good comments.
The snowskate is surprisingly easy to ride. It is an amazing feeling, almost as good as strapless on the water. The small deck makes it tricky to swap your feet for a gybe but with practice i'm sure it can be done.
The conditions on the lakes around Calgary have been great this season.

Mood: low winds here I come

mad props to you for doing that. Our local shop had one of those lib tech snowskates on discount last spring. I almost bought it, thinking to put ATB bindings on it, never considered it would work strapless. Would be great fun with skateboard skills, which I absolutely don't have. :thumbup:

12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt

very cool , i always wondered why can you snowboard strapless!! love it. i would NEVER go back to strapped in like current stuff , maybe step in like landboard bindings to make airs easy. but damn all those clips and #@%$#!zz. very cool man

Had some time on a strapless setup last year at dillon kite series, plenty fun, but decided to go back to bindings to get back to airs! I would recommend anyone giving them a go, loads of fun! No speed limit, either. I was rockin' along about 15-20mph on my board with bindings and was passed by Sproul on a strapless!



Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.
