Default Riding Unhooked

The pros for riding unhooked form personal experance, usually means bigger boosts, and the only way you can do real big power tricks, and for faster turing when wave surfing

Cons can be that you tire quickly, and its easter to stall the kite out depending on the kite or if your frunt lines are streached out.

if you going to ride with out a harness or just unhooked its easer to keep the kite low (about kite length above the water or less) if you need to ride with the kite at higher degerees then de-power the kite as much as you can but make shure you still have suffecent power to keep planed.
