Ally coached at RadGalz Wake and YOGA Clinix in Ontario in summer 2008 alongside Erika Langman. She launched a website (alongside Erika Langman) to promote her multiple skill set both on a board and behind a camera, but also to put the attention on the female wakeboard scene throughout the world, which is pretty sick...Check out her site throwitdown.ca !

Name: Ally Boothroyd

Home Lake:  All over the Kawarthas!    So many lakes… Clear and Stoney to Chemong, Pigeon, Buckhorn and Little!

its become my main obsession in life.

Riding Goals: In terms of wakeboarding I want to get a lot of practice in on the rails (my favourite), become more confident on them and also
figure out consistently landing inverts. For wakeskating, I want to consistently land my shuv its.  I’d also really like to work on wake to wake. 
But most of all I want to shred and have an amazing time in the process.  Its all about the fun and meeting fun people along the way :D

Style Tip: Get low on the rails… bend those knees!

Travel:  In September I got to go on an amazing trip to Costa Rica, caught some swells, and tried some amazing and new sports, repelled a 130 foot waterfall,it was pretty thrilling, rafted some level 4’s, sooooo fun, took mad photos and helped some baby sea turtles make their way to the to the ocean… In JanuaryI had an incredible trip to Mont Tremblant snowboarding and I totally love it there!  In Feburary I had the most amazing road trip of life with my good friend Kayle Mcmillen to the Projects in Orlando.  We did lots of boat and rail sets and I loved every second of it!  Surfed a bit in Coacoa beach, made it all the way to Key West, did some awesome snorkeling with sharks and barracudas and took a fan boat ride through the everglades, so many gators!!!!
Traveling is my passion, I can’t wait to plan my next trip! Hopefully to the Phillipines :-D

Radgalz Event Experience to date: I have had such amazing-positive experiences with the Rad Galz clinics!  Most fun days of the summer for sure.
Nothings better then starting off the morning with an hour of yoga on the lawn beside the lake… and I love teaching it.  Then spend the whole day coaching girls who all love to ride… what more could you ask for?  I love seeing girls make progression. It makes me happy.

What inspires you to go to events:  Having fun and meeting new people!
