I ride both. Whatever the conditions warrant.
I've ridden my surfboard both strapped and strapless. Its fun to go strapped, ride blind and throw jumps on a surfboard... kind of silly to. I also go
strapped when in the ocean doing a downwinder...
When the wind really picks up, I grab my little twintip and have fun with that. When winds are just a little too much for my door, I grab my surfboard
and ride strapless. My door is super stiff, so if the winds pick up just over 12mph, then it starts to be painful on the legs...
Generally, I leave my surfboard strapless. But I always have the straps and a screwdriver with me so I can add them if I want.

Haven't rode the twintip in I don't know how long....all time is now spent on the old school fish with straps. Have tried strapless on my 7ft
surfboard and loved it. Water starts are a little difficult for me with the constant ocean shore pound but this weekend I'm gonna lose the straps and
hopefully go strapless from now on. Love the freedom of movement.
Stopped in at Leo last weekend...south swell head high, about 25 surfers fighting for waves at the point and this one kitesurfer is getting these sick
rides about 20 yards further south. At the end, he does a jump, rides toeside upwind and does it all over again...his style was soo smooth...that was
the reason I got into kiting in the first place...riding waves without the paddling and the jostling for position.
