The top female rider for North Kiteboarding she has also been tearing up the cable parks and sliders always in boots. KiteSista is proud to present to you the delightful Colleen Carroll.



KSm: Can you give some advice to girls who want to get more into the freestyle and wakestyle riding in boots but are hesitant to switch from straps?

CC:
 Boots aren’t for everyone. I’d say if you are scared to try boots then don’t. Give yourself some more time and later in the game you may be more keen on the idea, don’t let yourself get pressured into them because ‘everyone’ is riding boots these days.

On the other hand, if you are intrigued by hitting sliders or like the idea of having more support in your ankles and find it frustrating to keep losing your board mid-trick then give them a try. Find a pair that fit nicely and go for a cruise. Don’t feel the need to try every trick you’ve ever landed your first session. Give yourself some time to get used to the differences and chances are before you know it, you’ll never look back to riding straps =)
