I am 65 years old started bare footen for me behind a 1979 nautique bought new and only knew how to long line barefoot step out of the slalom ski and hope for the best. Lol ooh how the girls loved it . Back then we had to make our own equipment as you couldn't buy it. Boogie Norris Overton's was the 1st one to get into it started getting the right equipment. Watch out for the dead cat fish on top of the water lol. Without the right equipment that's a bad water enema deepwater start. Lol fun fun fun .

My barefoot water ski club number is 1583 in Australia started in 1969 all long line just like this video. I'm now 71 two knee replacements and feel still possible with some serious fitness training. This is real barefoot

A sympathetic and experienced driver is useful,to cut out a lot of the bouncing around. Personally for deep water starts I would use a nose clamp as it upsets my sinuses for several days.

How does he hold the line? Lying backwards and holding with his hands and the line between the legs?

Your weight divided by 10 add 20. So 200lbs 40mph. There are slight variables here big feet you can go a bit slower little feet maybe need a touch more. Oh and don't do what Dylan did. Never rush it let the boat get up to speed before trying to stand. I tell all I teach just ride on your butt until you can see me in the boat and then set your feet in the water. Good luck happy footing.

@@EnergyMonsterCrack if you have any questions feel free to shout. You should be good with that combo for speed. Outboards are really good for footing but try not to use much trim.

@@barefootbob1269 do you think I will need a special barefoot neopren wetsuit?

@barefootbob1269 2 жыл бұрын

@@EnergyMonsterCrack The quick answer is yes. When I started back in 1971 I learned old school method of dropping a ski so I learned without one. That said not having one limits what you can do and how far you can progress. They definitely add a bit of comfort and safety. For a long time a friend of mine wore a vest under a regular wetsuit but it was tough because he had to buy a suit way to big for him so that a vest would fit under really not a great option. If you look around the the internet you can usually find some for under $300.

Let the boat get up on plane before standing up

Yup and keep toes crossed over rope to stop that bouncing. Edge out on your ass, up to speed plant feet and away you go.

Get cocky and you'll experience the proverbial barefoot front to SMACK. Don't ask me how I know.

Boat not fast enough and trying to stand up too early. Get outside the wash on your bum and wait for the right speed....and the water is smoother out there.
