I am sorry to say that is pretty much the whole story. And there is actually a sad addendum to it. I am blind as a bat and wear contacts. They had a way of washing out of my eyes when barefooting, so after losing a few, I went without. So I didn't see the lovely lady on the shoreline, but my friends in the boat did. When they came back to get me they said "DID YOU SEE THAT" To which I responded "see what?". We went by again, she apparently did it again. They came back to get me and again said "DID YOU SEE THAT". It sucks having bad eyes.

You guys had to get gay on me. No, they were delicious, redish, brownish nuts that were as healthy as you can get. I'll remember the name soon. Somebody must know what I'm talking about.

Ken

Sure is healthy with a vitamin pilsner combination........

These are them. They're organic almonds. Great snack for the lake.

Larry; Sometimes it is hard to believe how close our experiances are even tho we of course didn't know each other.

Remember when you knew EVERYONE in your area who could foot? Usually not to many names to remember. If you told someone at work or Church that you "barefooted" they would hardly believe you. The fun was in the proving!

Ken: Just do not believe you are 19 in that vid. Maybe 13 or 14. How long did you keep trying at that speed? Who was pullin' ya?

Ive always been told that your weight, divided by 10, plus 20 will give you approximate boat speed for barefooting. Works for long line, as I like 38-39 at ~190 lbs. You can back off a few MPH on the boom, too. 30-31 would probably have been more than enough for your 128 lbs. With a higher boom, you can go even slower due to the upwards pull.

This is my buddy who tought me how to foot, Dan Monaco. He's pretty good.

Footn'

Ken

I always thought that speed gives you better stability, no? I'm 189 now and like it at about 39-40. Won't I catch a toe at lower speeds???

Ken

That back deep was friggin fast, but when you are that good/experienced I guess it doesn't matter.

Thats why you kick up so much spray, ya gotta bend those knees. Bent knees give you a chance to; go slower, soak up rollers, and reduce headers.

Ken,

Pleeeeeeeze, go here and read everything, watch the videos, buy the DVD and then post some new vids for us.

It's been enjoyable watching the crash and burns but watching someone excel in barefooting is Almost as much fun.

Do what he says and you'll be a better footer the very next time you hit water.

Alan & rest, there are a bunch of segments from the Dawg on YouTube.

This one looked pretty cool......
