Have you ever been barefoot water-skiing? It’s just

like normal water-skiing, being pulled along behind a boat at 40 mph – but

without any skis! It sounds scary but it’s amazing! My cousin used to take me

water-skiing, and that’s where I first learnt to stand up and balance. But I

moved on to barefooting when I did it for a laugh with some mates. And I loved

it!

Now I’m experienced, I’ve learnt not to attempt new

moves in rough water as it never goes well. Instead, I make sure I limit myself

to skiing directly behind the boat, where the water’s calmer. I ask the boat

drivers to warn me about big waves coming, although they can’t always see them.

Finding time to practise

regularly is hard as I’m still at school – but then it’s not as if I’m into

winning prizes and stuff. But if I want to learn a new move, I need to repeat

it over and over, and that’s not easy in winter when it’s cold. Lots of skiers

say they’ll continue during cold weather, but not many do. So I’m often the

only one out on the lake!

I’m one of the few people who avoid going once the weather gets a bit colder!

The boat travels along in the water at quite a speed, but it’s not as frightening as you’d think!

If I can fit enough practice of the sport in with my studies, I’m hoping to win a prize.
