Caprice gets my vote for one of the coolest girls on the planet

Not only is she a great athlete but a beautiful human as well. When she is not working you can usually find Caprice's smiling face at Kite Beach, Maui throwing down some cool moves on her kiteboard. She has only been kiteboarding for three years but has become one of the best women kiteboarders on Maui.You should see her riding strapless on her surfboard!!
