For any of you out there who have not heard of Banana George, check out this vid. There's a good article on his life in edition's Water Ski mag. He was definitely a legend and an inspiration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCOZXtVuBaA For the Add impaired, this is a sample of the barefooting abilities http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JankgaPZp9w
Nice video. I cut the newspaper article out when he died. Lot of respect for his contribution to the sport of barefooting, though I never met him. RIP BG.
I dont mean to brag, but I actually got to ski with his grandson and his great grand daughter at a Georgia Junior Development Ski camp in Winter Haven, Florida. I got to ski on the lake he skied on, too. I felt very honored.
