Halfnelly, I have a BI kids barefoot suit and Barefoot Central trainers in a kid size that I used to introduce my daughter to barefooting. Bought it when she was 8 or 9. Shes's 12 now and outgrown. Would you be interested in those items? |

My daughter just turned 5 this weekend, might be a while before we have a need for those. I got her a full suit this winter, we'll probably use those if she decides she wants to try it this year.
Thanks, Brian |

Ah yes, Get the kids out on the water.
Here's a proud day for me. My sons first barefoot deep water start. and proud dad and son circa 1997 pics scanned from slides. Color and brightness not good but the day will never be forgotten. |

Another proud day a few years earlier, when daughter and son both said "I want to do it dad"(barefoot) circa 1991 Daughter said, "well I'm glad I did it but no more for me"! Son said "I love it"!!! Thanks for the memories to both of them!! |

Been a productive year, thus far. My 3 year old son has been riding the trainers around, and my 5 year old daughter has been skiing, wakeboarding, and most recently taken an interest in barefooting. Here's some pics and videos I've been collecting from this year.

Hooked up with a guy that lets a ministry take inner city kids to his lake house and he shows up and pulls them all on the tube. I came with the SN2001 and boom and got 6 to try skiing, 5 succeeded. We then got 1 up on the kneeboard. A couple got to drive the boat. They were all smiles and we had some spectators on a pontoon boat cheering them on. Only 1 of them knew how to swim.
I have great pics and video, but don't know if its kool for me to post the pics. I am not their parents or a part of the service group. I will watch their website and if they post them I will link it. |

Sounds like a similar concept to Wake the World? My wife and I are coordinating a WTW event for 2018, one of the best things I did this summer was to participate in the NW Oregon event. Looking forward to a washington event for sure. If you have a heart for taking kids out on the water, this is an event for you, they are all over the country but you might have to saddle up a bit to get to one. |

Though this isn't a "Kids out on the water...skiing", we are teaching them a valuable lesson. If you go out on the boat, you gotta help keep it clean!
Aside from Keith St. Onge having his daughter on skis at 6 mos,, what age do most of you start kids out on the water? I am hoping next season (at 3) is acceptable. She loves the boat and can swim, but the Mrs. doesn't think she will be ready. |

Nothing wrong with that picture! I had my son out at 2 years old with a pacifier hanging out of his mouth learning off of the ski training board. Now he is 6 and carving/jumping wakes on the wakeboard. |

Most of the kids in our big extended family have learned at 6-8. That's when they have wanted to learn with no prodding. I think knowing how to swim first is a good idea, but most kids have that down well before 6 if they go to the lake a lot. |

The little girl in the first post of this thread is now competing a little in Slalom and driving the boat so her old man can chill in the back on an evening cruise. BKH

This thread is awesome!
Can't wait to post some pics of my youngest, (She's 5 months) when she starts getting behind the boat! My older kids didn't have any real interest in it. Tubing was enough for them, but we didn't own a boat then they were young. Different story now! Keep the pics and stories coming!! Scott |

From last weekend. All grown up (23,21,15) but still humor me and let me get a picture every year. From many years ago, but seems like it was yesterday. Same kid last year College Nationals in Texas. Two oldest ski for Clemson and finish in December. It goes by fast, and I can already see them not hanging with Mom and Dad as much. We made some fantastic memories on the water. I believe we will always find time to ski one run for many years to come. No matter how tired you are, if they want to ski, get up and go! |

Great pictures! She is still smiling ten years later on the water. No better family sport than skiing. My two older kids have really enjoyed college skiing. Not super competitive (unless you really want to be) and they have a great time. |
