Barefoot Cheating Now Legal...

I understand why old school barefooters are
so upset.
Wouldn't you freak out if you had worked your butt off
learning barefoot tricks only to find out you can take a
massive shortcut?
Imagine finishing your four year college degree only to find
out you could now get the same results in a year or two.
Despite a huge cry from competitive barefooters that we are
making barefooting too easy, the powers that be
(the World Barefoot Council) have now approved the
Super Fly High for all tournaments!
"Old School" barefooters are freaking out!
There are some barefooters who are terrified that you
will get better than they are because you might get a SFH!
I got out of the arguing many months ago and just
concentrated on making one miracle at a time for any
barefooter that would listen.
Check out what the host of the 2006 World Championships had
to say...
"Hello Lane and Mike,
Sorry for the delayed response, I have been too busy skiing
with my new Super Fly High!!
I would like to thank you guys for the extra effort in
getting me the SFH before the Labor Day weekend. Everyone
who skied it - loved it!
From the young slalom skier who got up long line for the
first time, to the wake boarder who got monster air, and all
the barefooters that skied it.
It was amazing. Everyone at the lake has tower envy!!
I was skeptical when you told me how I could ski with 30%
less effort and ski 30% longer.
I must say the one who has benefited from the Super Fly High
the most, is me. For a guy that is getting closer to fifty
than I like to admit, I skied with the Super Fly High like a
rock star!!!
Normally on a Saturday I will ski 1slalom set of eight
passes/1 trick set of eight and five jumps.
On a good day, I have been lucky to get three surface turns
in my trick run maybe 75% of the time. The first Saturday I
skied the Super Fly High I skied 16 slalom passes and 16
trick passes.
I added three more surface turns to my run and did not fall
all day!! Do you know what it means for me to trick all
day and not fall? Sore muscles but no head ache. It was
Epic!!
I told my ski partner, I must be the target market!! If I
could buy something that will help me ski better, longer,
and with less falls the price could double and it would
still be worth it.
I know there have been questions raised about whether the
WBC will approve the Super Fly High for competition, or when
is the height of the tower high enough?
For myself, I learned to barefoot from an article in spray
magazine (4 easy steps to Barefooting) off a Knee board long
line without the aid of a boom, ten foot pole, or a tower.
If we can make Barefooting easier for the next generation
maybe, just maybe, they will continue to ski tournaments in
to their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.
Enclosed are a few photos of my new Super Fly High
Once again, thank you for all that you do and for making
products that advance the sport of barefoot waterskiing and
for all the epic days with my Super Fly High
