Thanks for the replies and keep them coming.
I enjoy being drug around on almost anything behind the boat but nothing gets me more excited than the slalom ski. Each pull I am competing against myself to be smoother, faster, and more aggressive.
I have not successfully been barefooting yet. Like an idiot I sold the boom that came with our boat after moving it around the garage for a few years. I wish I had back to teach my daughter to ski and myself to barefoot. I have tried to step off a kneeboard (full speed, long line, outside the wake) and have not figured out how to keep my feet on top.
