learning to barefoot

Way too hard on the gas for those llbds

Can we have a timeout on the ADV and have a little more information on the observer in the rear seat? She has a nice jawline and many other specs that fit my needs. Jeez, Kap. What's her story?

Sorry for the threadjack, but we haven't been properly introduced to your assistant.

Apologies in advance if she's a sister, cousin or some other relative. She's a beauty from what I can tell. Couldn't help myself.

Well some action lately but not to much video....
been working out on the surface turns on the shoes, the front to back are consistent, Im nailing almost all id say 4 out of 6, and the one i fall are due to no been able to grab the handle once i complete the turn.
Back to front still need to work on them, gotta keep feet close and not force the turn...when i focus on those 2 things, they come nicely.
Then tried a couple of turn barefoot, while I fall on them I think Im close to nailing them, al least my falls arent that bad...
I also did a succesfull back toe hold start...
yeah! happy xmas to yall!

Check out Nate Smith the slalom ski phenom learning the ADV with Chris Parrish and Chuck over on BFC.

When it gets to where you need what looks like a deep sea fishing trawler to do the tricks, I start losing interest in the barefooting quickly. I get it, but yet I just don't get it.

That thing sounds nice

Steve,
Up until just before Christmas I didn't have anything for my feet and had been pretty comfortable, just chilly feet waiting for starts, hands rarely have to go in the water, especially as aided by the drysuit flotation. For Christmas, I got thin (2-3mm?) sole-less dive booties and some similar diver gloves. They really helped. I am very warmly dressed under the dry suit, so all in all, I am pretty comfortable and don't end up the outing feeling chilled at all, not even any shivers. I had to shed the booties to use my ski, but the only time you feel the chill doing that is waiting to take off. Actually a bootied foot fit in the rear toe and the front boot helps to insolate. Air was low 50s water 48, which seemed a lot colder than the 51 it had been up to a week or so ago.

When We go out in my BFN he has the large cooler in the back with a 1/4" line feeding exhaust water from a manifold quick drain that keeps things nice and warm. I have not resorted to this level yet, when is that cool we will simply take the BFN.

I tend to overflow the cooler by forgetting to turn the shower off.

Nice
on the boom id probably would adjust the camera angle so your legs dont get cut...
luv those llss!

Im going out this we hope to catch some turns on video for you guys! Them im taking vacations and wont hit the water till february

Came across this picture of my daughter from a few years ago that shows her warming up after some winter footing here in NC.
