I love Kiteskating but...

Hi everybody.

I'm new to this forum so let me introduce myself:
I'm Oscar from Spain and I've been skating since I was 6 years old ( Now I'm 45... ) and I've been Kiteskating for the last year.
I love it !!!! but...

The thing I don't like about it is that I have to put my skates on before launching the kite and I don't like having my feet always hooked up in the skates, specially when I'm rolling at high speed:o
I would love to find some kind of skate that I could always get my feet free in case I need to or launch the kite first , like for example an MTB.

I'm thinking about getting an MTB but I don't like the body position in an MTB.

Actually I Kiteskate with Rollerblade Coyote Skates.

Is there any skate out there with a quick boot fit?

I would also like to know what kind of kites are you guys using. I need to buy one for low speed wind ( 7 to 10 knots ) and there are so many kites that I don't know wichone to get. I need a stable, and progressive power kite.

Thanks for your time on me :)

Best regards

Oscar
