What are some of your thoughts on female wakeboarding at the pro level?
I think there needs to be more incentive for females to even enter a contest. Especially lower entry fees for starving college girls that want to enter without missing rent!

What do we need to do to help the progression of women’s wakeboarding?
Aside from more exposure, STRETCH… Girls are more prone to knee injuries (i’ve blown out both of my ACLs) so I would say stretch and build those quads up so we can keep more girls on the water!!

Props to anyone? Props to girls in general…and you Ally for getting more girls involved in this amazing sport!
