Professional kiteboarder Colleen Carroll is no stranger to the selfie. Her social media feeds are bursting with inspiring and envy-inducing pictures of her boarding with friends, practicing in the Caribbean or chilling out on a yacht. However, it is when she harnesses the power of her kite strings and a GoPro that we think her shots really come to life.

If there’s one scenario in which your selfie stick can be given a free pass it’s to take snaps like this. Shot by pro-surfer and snowboarder Chuck Patterson in Maui, we can’t help but a love a man who’s clearly enjoying every last minute of his time on board a beautiful classic sailing yacht.

White water kayaking is hard enough but to take a selfie while white water kayaking and performing a tricky kickflip that sends you upside-down takes some serious skill.
