I would stay away from the used one. The intensity looks good at 100 bucks. I am pretty loyal to my Barefoot International suit. A new one will cost you 300.00 but worth it. Check EBay.com from time to time they have used suits that go for about 100.00. |

Figured I'd bump this thread too, can't have enough footing threads on top.
Those NorthEast guys are super humble and don't like to show off their footing, so I'll post 'em up for them again. Ken shaved his head. The water is cold. There's a million jokes you can make about him riding the pole like that. Here Tim is dialing in his one-footer. Best skier of the bunch. I think a bird just flew overhead? New spotter. |

Thanks for the bump on the thread. I was terrified looking at Kapla's @SS sticking out of the ripped suit on page one. I hope he did finally trade that one in!
Going out Fri/Sat out to the ski club for a couple of sets. Water is cold there right now as the lake is High Sierra snow melt, temp = 54 deg. The delta water is mid to high 60's right now. Air temp has been unseasonably low here in the Golden state. Normally 80's by now; it has been 60-70 deg. Soon it will be 100 deg. in Sacramento so I am actually enjoying it. |

You been in the water yet Hollywood?
Last weekend I wore the long wetsuit under my barefoot suit and froze my butt off. My second set I put on the drysuit. I wore the drysuit all winter, but thought it was April and time to hang up the drysuit. I like the flexibility of the drysuit, but hate the neck: it is a choker and clamps on my jugular vein. |

Ice out was 6 weeks ago but been busy. I have been skiing for 3 weeks now - all drysuit. Been back and forth with what to wear under it based on the air, we've had upper 70s down to high 40s. I'm treating the seals and putting it away for May though, no matter what the weather. My OS System neck doesn't bother me at all anymore, when it was brand new it definitely made me a little light headed so I used to roll it over a vinyl ring to releave the pressure while not skiing.
Gotta get that glass before all the Wally's come out of hibernation! |

I get ya on Wally. He's waiting. He doesn't show up at the ski club, but the rotation can get long mid-summer. I try to get all the footing possible, especially April/May and Sept/Oct. This winter was not the best for footers here in CA. Lots of rain, bad weather. There were a few nice days, but missed a lot of them due to obligations, or nobody to go with. Andy (GlassSeeker) went back to school out of the area so I lost my main bro to ski with. Now the club's open my wife can drive and I can get a few fair weather skiers on the water.

Our water temps got below 20C last weekend and are already down to 17C looks like the end of the season for us. Never got to barefoot this year came close but it is hard with a driver who has just got his licence and me trying to learn at the same time. Next year will go to a barefoot school early in the season and get started. Boom extension arrived the other day from BI that side spray on the 2001 is distracting. |

Mark, I'm sure there is lots of profession instruction avialable to you, but see if you can track down Oscar "Foot" Mann. He's somewhere down under, and posts frequently on the ABC forums (LakeBoy and GlassSeeker post there too). Been everywhere, done everything. He is "The Man".
