I've been attempting to barefoot alittle bit but can't seem to get the hang of it. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for a beginner with an under powered boat (evinrude 140(max speed around 35 but I only weigh 145 so should be fine)), no beam, and no padded wetsuit. I've tried to start on one ski and drop it but can't seem to get the hang of it.
Bro, a one-ski drop is a tough way to learn. Without a boom, the easiest start to learn is using a wakeboard (take the bindings off) or kneeboard. There are many videos out there showing this start. Your boat is fast enough for your weight (you can barefoot at 30 mph). Good luck!
35 is pretty marginal. You should be around 38-40. This is a pretty good video, actually. Dropping a ski is tough as when you get too much weight on one foot it’s easy to fall.
as cool as it looks i wont barefoot water ski cause i hate going barefoot, i will sink i can't swim well at all and it looks like it hurts ur feet. plus i would cry and be upset not passing
Nothing better than learning from the Master!
The Boom is Easy. Deep Start then cross the WAKE is STUNNGING!
Thanks for the pointers for both skier & driver.
Damn, Keith explains it so perfect!
Love the driving tips. I'd love to see the same type of video for back deep. Looking forward to another visit to the WBC soon (this time with my son)!
Great training video!
Go the Aussie. Well done mate. Good video Keith!
Keep it up love the vids
I am 110Kg and can still BF at 62 YO, Go Teens!
On the boom lol , none of that when I learnt to do these 40 years ago
Great!

35 might be too slow and an under powered boat will bog down so that 35 may end up at 30

Feet skewed in so water goes outside!

His human feet are throwing a nice little rooster tail! But this guy ain’t got nothing on the guy that does it with the long ski rope!
Hard to get up on a rope, I find that anyway
