There is a trend towards the use of boots on the PKRA and outside. The wakestyle contests grown up (triple S, roke jam, Slider party ….) so boots become fashionable.

Yes, but how to equip? This is the dilemma for us, who are unprofessional riders. It’s hard to try boots at shop test. It is therefore difficult to make the best choice.

For help a bit, here is what emerges from the various exchanges on the beach, on the forums, and with the pro riders who play the game. (Sroll for the surprise)
Choosing your board :

Choicies are huge and you get lost a little. Today among all boards of the major manufacturers are compatible with boots.
We hear often that size does not matter, in wakestyle (a bit like the kite in general) is completely wrong! The choice size of the board is an important thing because with boots, if you put too small, it can quickly disgust you.



To make a shortcut, take one size above what you ride in straps.

The general trend is:
For a weight ranging from 60 kg to 75 kg prefer a size between 136 and 139 / width between 40 and 43.
To a weight of from 70 to 80 kg prefer a size between 137 and 141 / width between 40 and 43.
A weight> 80 kg take the greatest as possible.
Concerning the choice of shape. There are wakestyle boards very effective for this use, but their high rocker (banana shape of the board) pushes more water, so a low range further back. However they are lot more comfortable in shopy watter and rocker brings a lot of handling so do not hesitate choose a bigger size.
