Strapless kitesurfing 7: improving kite control and board balance

A relaxed session on a 9m kite, just enough powered in 15-20 knot winds. A long walk to deeper outside waters, based on my previous risky experience in the nearby lagoon, too shallow for a directional quad. Still a bit of struggle to keep a balance but both waterstarting and kite/board control is improving, and I don’t miss the straps anymore. Quite the opposite, it feels more safe to avoid the foot injuries, a general beginner problem I encountered in the past with windsurfing. It seems that kiters think differently, as I was the only one on a strapless surfboard among the twintips.
