Very cool little sculpture.
I'm a little past my waterski days.
I started when I was about 9, went to a Slalom Ski about 11 or so and started barefoot skiing about 16 or 17.
Loved it!
I'm not sure if I've been on double skis since I was 11 or 12! Except for trick skis.
I pulled my groin barefooting when I was 49 and haven't been skiing since.
I might get up on a pair of double skis and kick off to slalom for a short ride this summer for old times sake.
64 isn't too old to do something stupid!
No wakeboarding for me. Too many girls do it! Same here. Started when I was about 11. Quit when I reached 50. Worst crashes I ever had was barefooting. I’ll turn 63 in a few months. Too damn old to crash. 😬 That water is pretty hard at 40mph or so!

FWIW, thats the position your buddy is trying to avoid.
He'd be impressed with tip down, weight on front foot.

Shouldn't the water be blue? I could, but I usually just do black. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/7LGXtw3L/IMG-20230223-145202606-HDR.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/dV05d8Dr/IMG-20230304-152117014.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/bv7gKWg9/IMG-20230307-114305368-HDR.jpg) Pretty cool.

Cool work!

Too damn old to crash. 😬 Toughest part about that bare footing…first thing that hits is your face! Lots of memories of it. Some were probably concussions!!

Plus your skiing at a faster speed when barefooting vs using water skis.

I’ve seen lots of blue water, but never a black water skier.

Yeah.I was the dumbass that thought that being a professional water skier was a great idea...until I realized there is no such thing, unless your daddy is a boat or ski manufacturer.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
