I stand corrected on my previous comments on [not wanting] footstraps. My revised statement is: I'll start without footstraps.

Air! Of course!

One can get good air with foils. The landing is so soft when you nail them. It's like suspension. We used to jump a lot with the Air Chair.

Reminds me of two of my favorite sport quotes, both from Damien Sanders in Fall Line Films - Critical Condition - 1991).

“Air. That what it’s all about. I mean, if you don’t jump… it’s not your sport.”

Interviewer: “What do you think the silliest snowboarding trick is?”
Damien: “Errr… Every trick I did last year.”

They're surfing waves, and parts of waves, that no one else can surf.
