Wet and Wild!

The following is a guide to the subtle and gentle art of bare foot water skiing!


Requirements - a big house, heaps of people, sun, beer, water, jet boat and a complete disregard for self preservation!


Step one - Drive the jet boat at 60km(40mph) with a pole sticking out one side of the boat



Step two - Jump out of boat and delicately place your feet onto the water

Step three - Hold onto the bar and enjoy the serenity

Step four - lower yourself along the rope until you are holding the handle




Step five - known in Aus as a 'Stack' which generates a similar sound to that created when a ute hits a cane toad. It also results in a sensation similar to that of a cane toad being run over.

The photo above was taken as i was performing a rather fine 'stack' note the brave face which blends all the emotions of agony, terror and impending doom (or a small girl crying!)


Step six - repeat until your injuries leave you incapacitated. Having to sleep on your front due to a slight bruising of the rump in a small price to pay for so much fun!!!
