Anyone have a barefoot boom that they want to sell to one of the waterskiing/barefooting suckas I work with? He's got a '97 Malibu Response. <BR> <BR>Shoot me an email if you've got one. <BR> <BR>Maybe I should suggest he gets a tower instead and picks up a real sport.

that would be a great suggestion Evan.

I do both and let me say that anyone can board. I have tried to teach several people over the years to barefoot (mostly without a boom) and footing can kick the crap out of you. That why I like boarding. Much easier on the body. Not always, but most of the time.

<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> yep you know how when you fall wakebaording and your board catches an edge then you smack your face? Try that at 40 mph <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> then will talk if you still can <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

Whatever guys..... I learned how to barefoot and ski way before I learned to wakeboard. I havn't footed in a few years, but I bet I still could. Digging a toe at 40 is nothing like getting lit up hooking an edge backward landing out in the flats. When you dig a toe you don't have anything attached to you to make you stop....instantly, like a board does. Anyway, for what its worth, I doubt I'll ever foot or ski again.

Evidently you have never taken a backwards barefooting fall <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>I mostly barefoot but also enjoy wakeboarding, skiing, wakesurfing and kneeboarding etc its all fun <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/smile.gif" border=0> <BR>

if you have a choice, get a BI boom. they're the best on the market. (i used to rep a different company that builds booms)
