Barefooting

Barefooting is probably one of the most fast paced and exciting acts in showskiing. Just as the name implies this act involves skiers skimming across the water at high speed on their bare feet. Some of the tricks you will see our barefooters performing include:
Front Barefoot Line
Multiple skiers barefooting in a line. They usually start barefooting by stepping out of a single ski. The picture below shows our 9 man barefoot line tearing up the water!

This picture shows a unique overhead view of our 10 man 1997 barefoot line.

Back Barefoot Line
2 or more skiers barefooting backwards side by side! Just like the front barefoot line the skiers start barefooting by stepping out of a ski except that they are skiing backwards.

Two Ski Bombout
The skier jumps out of two skiis and barefoots away.

Front Deepwater Start
The skier starts by laying in the water on his back and barefoots away.

Flying Dock
1 or more skiers jump off the dock as the rope comes tight and then barefoot away. The photo at left shows four of our barefooters performing the flying dock start!

Tower Start
1 or more skiers jump off a 6-12' tower as the rope comes tight.

Beach Start
1 or more skiers slide off the beach on their backs and barefoot away. The photo at left shows 3 of our barefoots just sliding off the beach!



Back Deepwater Start
The skier starts by laying in the water on his stomach and barefoots away backwards.
This sequence of photos show one of our barefooters performing the backdeep!

Barefoot Pyramid
The barefoot pyramid looks just like it sounds, 2 bases barefooting with a third person standing on shoulders between them. They start out on skiis, the top person climbs into position and then the bases proceed to step out of their skiis one at a time.
