Barefoot Water Skiing Speed Calculator
Getting your boat speed right is the single most important factor when you're learning to barefoot water ski. Too slow and you'll sink — too fast and every fall hurts twice as much.
Use the calculator below to find your recommended starting speed based on your body weight. These figures are nominal speeds for novice to intermediate footers, based on coaching and manufacturer data. Once you're on your feet, fine-tune from there — factors like foot size, arch height, water conditions, and experience all play a role.
