I'm doing a little video series I pretty much discovered how much I love boots haha

Check it out, not your usual kite video

Give this video some thought, try riding boots and see how you feel.

Boots = More style, amazing feeling great for big airs, back rolls, front rolls and everything unhooked and powered. Boots will give you instant style

Straps = Feels more free, can be nicer for carving, better for huge crashes, better for kicking the board off mid big jump or megaloop

Try both, choose one or even choose both (like I do)

Nothing beats the feeling of a clean landing powered and unhooked in boots :)

Hey man i torn my ACL like 8 years ago. I am kiteboarding for 4 years now, always in straps in am kinda scared of boot, don't know about my ACL, kind a think that i would torn it again in boots... What do you think, i don't do loops and stuff just some jumps, start unhooking a bit...
