Haha, yup they do wake Wednesday here too, had Chad sign my board. Figured it wouldn't last long but it's still there 4 years later.

Yea I should have clear coated the board right after that but I didn't. Have you watched the barefoot competitions on utube. It's awesome. Who can go the longest side by side behind the boat.

Yeah, I like the backwards barefoot slaloms, this guys are nuts! I had a physical therapist that grew up barefooting, said his ride speed was around 45mph!

I wish I had a 10th of the skill those guys have.
Did you see the vid of Shaun doing all in one run he slalom skied, wakeboarded, surfed and Barefooted. It was pretty cool.

Here is Shaun's youTube vid with that challenge. Didn't see him barefoot in this one, although I'm sure he could just add that in the end....just phenomenal. I also like his ladder challenge video. :lol:

I love vids with Parks. His documentary is awesome. Started skiing at 3, helped invent wakeboarding. There's nothing he couldn't do on the water.

Long, but worth the watch.
