@FA22raptero thats actually an old video. even though it was only a few months ago. now im doin rallys(flips on high booms) but im gonna make more videos wen i can im doin backwards toehold toe ups and lots more and my suit isnt pink anymore ive got a proper barefoot suit so now i can but slide and go further then the boat so i actually can do andres kind buttslide
Very nice, Ive been water skieing since I was 5 yrs old now 42 and raising my family doing the same things I did as a kid... Wake boarding skieing etc. My oldest son 18yrs wants me to work with him on getting up barefoot. We have a jet boat. Old school hot rod /ski boat....1979 Hondo. Whats a good speed for bare foot skieing and what do you recomend if we have to start in the water while we are learning. Face forward? but start? foot start? Etc... Whats your recomendation... Thanks...
@mogyver69 The best would be to begin on a boom if you have the chance, either in a swing or doing a tumble up. If you're going to do it long line the easiest thing would be to start on a kneeboard or better yet a wakeboard. Search "Barefoot Water Skiing's WakeBoard Start". Rule of thumb for speed is Body Weight/10 + 20. (Lbs and mph). So 180lbs/10 + 20 = 38 mph.
you people are idiots, theres not way in the world you can hit the prop if you let go, think about it, if you let go you automatically slow right down, the boat keeps going at 70 or so km. I barefoot nearly 5 times a week and about to go to germany for the worlds. Im classified as a 'pro" although, not as good as andre, and i use any boat, inboards or outboards
he cant be pro..... he has a ski nautique i can tell by the shape of the bow and the shape of the engine box... a real pro barefooter has an outboard boat they allow for greater speeds which are essential in today's barefooting tournment community
only problem with ur theory is that the way that he is skiing, if he has an outboard motor there would b a possiblity he could let go of the rope re-mounting the boat, thus he would end up in the propeler. Thats why he uses an inboard motor ;-)
Nope because if you use a long line you would not end up in the prop trust me i had an outboard before i began tourment slalom and got a malibu case closed i have true life expreience
if u use a long line then u can use either, take it from a barefooter, if u use a boom it is NOT smart to use an outboard motor, on of my friends did and he nearly lost his arm on the lake it was nasty, hes just being safe ;-)
your lookn at andre de villers mate! he be a barefooting champion his longline work is phenomenal!! you cant give him shit what so ever, he's a barefoot genius
Yeah tricks are sweet, but the music is horrible, makes him look like a water skiing tranny who worries about wiping his poop noodle than what sweeter wetsuit hes gonna wear for his next prodoucher barefoot video
your an idiot if you think this is lame the stuff this guy does has never been done. sure the surface turns and tricks like that have been but this guy can do an unbelievable amount of never before seen tricks
Hey idiot look to what comment I was replying to...... I was commenting on the guy that says you should put your feet over the rope and ski on your hands.. Then I say that shit has been done in the 70's. Figure out the format of you tube and how the comments work before you open up your mouth. You should say nothing at all so people just think your stupid instead of knowing it for sure.
This is by far my favorite barefooting video. i am 15 years old and i can do a front deepwater start, one foot, tumble turns, tumble up, toe holds, and i just learned backwards. Im still learning!!!
i was never into that start, do you have a boom bar? try hanging onto the boom and resting your feet on the boom wires. as the boat takes off arch your back with your head under water and stay there till u feel the boat at the right speed.
does glass water burn your feet? sure does to me

What kind of boom is that? I'm thinking you wouldn't have to go as fast with that boom due to the vertical lift. This is the best run I've seen.
